Frank Anthony O'Brien, III First Lieutenant G CO, 2ND BN, 7TH MARINES, 1ST MARDIV United States Marine Corps 14 November 1944 - 24 March 1968 Wheeling, West Virginia Panel 46E Line 010

 

02 Mar 1999 It has been over 30 years now since I was notified that Frank was killed in action, yet it seems like only yesterday, perhaps because I have thought about him so often during that time. When I close my eyes, I can still envision his laugh, his smile and his love of life. Frank was an excellent student and athlete and the type of friend that comes along only once or twice in a lifetime. Frank believed in his country and everything it stood for and his sacrifice will always be remembered. May God take care of him until we meet again. Best regards, Bill Mahon tungya@attmail.com
