Swweeet post, TS!
Yah, used to have the barracks room two doors down from Frank. He had his Uncle's MOH citation framed on the wall in his room; good motivation. Gotta' say, never saw politics in his personality, let alone future. But, I AM dad-gum proud to know him and glad for him breaking into the political arena. I wish him nothing but the best in his new position and promising future!

Jesus H. Christ! You are an embarrassment!
1. SAOAFR
2. You mis-spelled both Special and soldier.
3. FTFSI
4. Epic FAIL!
Unfornicate yourself and start over.

My chances of a career in politics are slim-to-none. 
I had a good start at an airport when I ran into Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton however, my sarcasm was not taken lightly.  SOBs can't take a joke!?!? 
Oh well, stay safe.

Sounds like a good story waiting to be told.

Well I'll be dipped in $#!+...
Frank was a team daddy in C Co when I had a team in A Co. He was an old timer in 3rd Gp for a pretty long time. If you don't know what happened at Debecka Ridge it is worth a read. The right teams were there that day and they did an amazing job. Frank was a good team sergeant, good guy, and well deserves all good things that come his way. Good for him.

Hey Chief;
You served with more than just Frank. Never know who you'll run into at this site. Now trot off to the intro thread and make your intro like you were told to.

Appreciate the kind words
Guys,
Thanks for the kind words and the memories.
Wayne O, Long time no see. I see Chief David from time to time during our dealings at Raytheon.
If you guys are ever in AZ, drop me a line at vote4frank@cox.net.
I'll show you around the Capitol and get your name read into the State Journal.
Cheers,
Frank A
