Frankie and I were from the same area of South Carolina and close in age. I hardly knew him but was close to his father with whom I worked on summer breaks from college. Frankie was a fellow Screaming Eagle. I arrived in Viet Nam just about a year after he was lost in an attack on his helicopter. He was the crew chief and all six men on board the chopper are still MIA after all these years. I was located in Thua Thien Province which is where he and the others were lost. I still grieve for Frankie and his family. I want the family to know that his loss still matters to me and other Viet Nam veterans after so many years.
Rest in Peace, my brother Frankie,
From his friend and fellow Screaming Eagle,

I have been wearing Frankie's bracelet since I was 19 years old. I am now 35. I hope one day closure can come to all of us who still hope and pray for Frankie and all the MIA's. You are not forgotten, Frankie, and never will be. God Bless the Johnson family, and God Bless America!

My name is Tom Graff and I am from Charleston, SC. I have been in possesion of a POW/MIA bracelet with Frankie B. Johnson's name on it for 19 years. I used to wear it 24/7, until it broke about 10 years ago. Since then I have kept it in my suitcase. I travel a lot and have taken it with me everywhere I go. All I knew about him until now was that he was from South Carolina and was missing in action. I'm glad I looked him up and I feel even more connected with him now that I know his story. I would like to let his family know that he is not forgotten and that I will keep his bracelet and will someday pass it on to my son and tell him Frankie's story and why it is important to remember those who gave all for our country. Frankie B. Johnson is a hero of our nation and he deserves to be remembered as such.
Thank you, |
