Frank kept in touch over the years discussing career moves and after service plans. I just spoke to him in Oct. He knew my unit was deploying and as usual wishing safe travels. Can someone please tell me what happened to my old friend and brother in arms? I am at a lose and no where near home.Rob Keaton
August is here dude,..I remember months ago, you were walking me through setting up my profile on the Ebenefits site and how we were back and forth talking junk about the VA..lol..well brother, I am going to the beach in a few weeks and I promise to stop by to see and talk to you. Know that not a moment or day goes by in which I do not remenice about all the great memories we shared through our 35 years of friendship.No one every gave me as much praise even in my lowest of times. All the while you were elevating me, I was doing the same to you. You will be forever remembered as not only my best friend, but a friend to others as well as a great father, husband, and son. I love you with all my being and will continue to honor you for the man you were, as well as the greatest friend a loser like me could ever have.
