THE WALL OF FACES

Even though you were only 2 years older than me you taught me a lot about the Army and life, I remember the day you shipped out for Vietnam and we talked about the future when we both got out of the Army we were going to cruise the beaches in Florida in your Karmann Ghia convertible, so sorry we never got to do that, I think about you often and I've tried to live my life for both of us, until we meet again someday my Brother...Peace!! HOOAH

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Your Silver Star citation attests to your courage and devotion to your fellow soldiers. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.

Franklin V. Delara was a leader who saw the potential in others and helped them to have confidence in themselves and achieve that potential.
He was a friend and mentor and was wise beyond his years. His death was a loss to family, friends and country. He made the ultimate sacrifice while saving others.
Frankie, you are remembered and still helping others through the Franklin V. Delara scholarship at Florida State University.
