Peregory was born on April 10, 1915 in Albemarle County. He enlisted in the Monticello Guard in 1931 and entered active Army service in February 1941 as part of the 116th Infantry.
 
Peregory was a technical sergeant who was killed in action on June 14, 1955. Six days before he had killed eight Axis soldiers and forced the surrender of several dozen more.
 
The [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]] named April 10, 2016 as Frank Peregoy day. The resolution claims his last name is actually Peregoy even though the National Guard armory named for him is spelled Peregory. <ref>{{cite web|title=PROCLAMATION: Frank D.
