I remember Fran was our paperboy when I was a kid. I now teach college and talk about him in class and how it was growing up during this era. I'm heading to Arlington and always stop by to remember him, Phil Wahl from Sharon Hill, and Jake Babin from Malden, MA
These are our heroes.

Peace
The soldiers do not speak. Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses: who has not heard them? They have a silence that speaks for them at night and when the clock counts. They say: We are young. We have died. Remember us. They say: We have done what we could but until it is finished it is not done. They say: We have given our lives but until it is finished no one can know what our lives gave. They say: Our deaths are not ours: they are yours they will mean what you make them. They say: Weather our lives and our deaths are for peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say: it is you who must say this. They say: We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning. We were young. they say. We have died. Remember us:

Soldier Anxious To Come Home Dies in Vietnam
Photo and article appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer on Saturday, February 17, 1968. A Focroft soldier who wrote his family that he'd soon "be home for good" was killed last Saturday in Vietnam, the Defense Department reported Friday. He was Sp/4 Francis C. Kairaitis, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Kairaitis, of 959 Taylor dr. SAFER OUT HERE A platoon leader, Sp/4 Kairaitis wrote his last letter sitting in a rice paddy field, 24 miles from Saigon. "I guess it's safer out here," he wrote. "Cu Chi is getting mortared every night. I'll be home shortly, this time for good." He said his area had been infiltrated by four Vietcong battalions. "I haven't had a good night's sleep since November 3," he added. MISSED HOPE His mother, Stella, said her son had been disappointed the day before Christmas when he was unable to see the Bob Hope show for servicemen. He wanted to see that show, but he was stuck in the field, his mother said. A graduate of St. James High School in Chester, Sp/4 Kairaitis was drafted in May, 1967, and left for Vietnam five months later. He is also survived by three sisters, Kathleen, 19, Stella, 11, and Theresa, 10.
