Hello, my name is Tracey Schrader (Luongo), daughter of Carmine N Luongo. My father was apart of Deep Freeze for a few
years. Here are a couple of letters that was written to my grandparents (his parents) about what was going on and what his role was in the operations. I hope you are able to use them in some
way. My father died August 4, 1996, age 56. We went to Cape May, NJ to give him a military burial. We took a small vessel, the chaplain spoke some wonderful words and sent his ashes in to the
Atlantic Ocean. I know if my father was standing next to me he would have said "When it's my time to go, I want you to do this same thing for me. I just want you to know that my father was very
proud to be apart of the Navy experience, especially on the Arneb. The good with the bad. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Tracey L Schrader
