He was also a prisoner of war for 18 months after being captured on a mission below the 38th Parallel and since the mission he was on was considered illegal by the Geneva convention, the U.S. goverment informed my Grandparents and his first wife that he'd been killed in action. My dad was pretty tight lipped about his time in the service and it wasn't until I was 17 or so that he told me about his time in the service.(and only did so as a means of dissuating me of going into the service after high school.)<br /><br />You're lucky your old man is around to share these kind of stories with you, Frank, he seems like a pretty incredible guy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827652636843928373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101898090775145529.post-80013192970089815852009-04-19T18:47:00.000-07:002009-04-19T18:47:00.000-07:00Thanks David, means a lot.

My brother was in during the same period and I realize I had a cake walk (93-98) compared to these Vets,<br /><br />Tell your dad I said thanks for his service.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.com
