Fred Waggett, Team Staff Member
Fred Waggett has been a steadfast member of the Patriots security team since 2009 and is a proud veteran who honorably served in both the United States Army and Navy. His deep commitment to honoring fellow service members, especially those who never returned home—is reflected in his every action.
Fred's quiet gestures of remembrance have become a meaningful tradition within the Patriots community. After each event, he thoughtfully places flowers at the POW/MIA seat as a tribute. On Memorial Day, he ensures fresh flowers are placed there, a powerful symbol of his reverence for those lost in service.
When the north end zone was renovated and the Row of Honor relocated, Fred saw an opportunity to preserve and extend its legacy. Collaborating with Jim Nolan, he secured the original POW/MIA seat and arranged for its permanent display in the town of Foxborough, complete with a commemorative plaque. Thanks to Fred's initiative, this enduring symbol of sacrifice now stands as a public reminder of the courage and commitment of those who served—and those who never came home.
