Thumbs up

What Griz and Gimp said. My daughter put on a jacket I hardley wear and it had Franks telephone number in the top pocket. She asked me what to do with it and I told her to just put it back and button the pocket .

...saw this yesterday, and thought it should be here also,...

...I served with Frank Skokan in Echo Recon 1/501, 101st during 1971. I got hold of him by e-mail a couple years ago. Then lost touch. I've been wondering why I've not gotten any responses to my recent e-mails. Surfing the web this early morning and my worst fears are confirmed. Trying to find him somewhere and I'm a little late and a lifetime short I was "Doc Urb" during our time in the Nam. Going through so many emotions right now I can't think quite straight. He told me about the burns he had received and I never got to ask him how he deals with all the pain, becuase I had and have been going through my own personal hell. Frank, thanks for every thing you did for me. From covering my ass to putting me in for that Soldiers Medal. I guess you thought I must have deserved it for swimming stark naked across that river to give the ol Sarge mouth to mouth and then exposing myself to the MEDEVAC crew as they dropped the jungle penetrator. I know you suffered and paid a price, but you are paid in full now brother and at rest with the Lord. Sorry I missed you before the ride was over. You will be in my prayers this holiday season as will all the other brothers and sisters that have posted such kind words for you. I hear you 5 x 5 brother and am saddened that you finally "skyed up". You were such a kid with that Georgia Peach baby face, but you were such a man and I Thank God I got to know you for a little while. Guess I'm rambling now bro'. See ya on the other side.

Jack "Doc Urb" Urbany

Unhappy Frank

Don't seem like two years. Bet you were smiling when the gas was pouring out of the bottom of the bike last week. I almost became Torch II. Sid and I will be down to see you soon. Miss you brother.
