I remember you, Frankie Howe, from Sacred Heart Elementary School (Parochial) in Salisbury, NC. You were one of the older boys who ran around with the Brinson boys, always joking on the school staircase with the younger kids. Thanks for the smiles. You and the Womack boy and your buddies always brightened up my every day at that school where the nuns where strickt and unsmiling except for Mother Mary Paul. Sister Mary Charles was the strictest but she told me this: a day in Hell is equal to a thousand days in Purgatory, so don't forget, Sharon. That was amazing. I know you are in Heaven, Frank. You were always such a good boy and respectful! I always remember the older students who encouraged me at that school and gave me the confidence to keep on going despite so many obstacles back then before my parents divorced. Every morning, my father, a veteran would have the Vietnam War news footage in black and white on the television at breakfast. It made me feel sick to my stomach after I ate breakfast. It was very depressing. I had no idea you went to that war. Man, that's tough. Say 'Hi' to Sister Mary Charles for me, Frank. Thanks....

Not forgotten
Marine, you are not and will never be forgotten as long as there are fellow Vietnam Veterans, especially of the FMF, still alive. I salute you for your supreme sacrifice. May God bless and keep all of your loved ones. Doc Matt.
