            Frankyln Germany was born in May of 1948 to Mr. and Mrs. Octavius Germany of Dearborn. He, his brother John and his sister Mary grew up in east Dearborn on Oakman Street. Frank attended Fordson High School before leaving school to join the Army in 1966. He finished his education in the Army and was given a diploma from Fordson.

 

            After joining the Army in 1966, Frank did his Basic Training at Fort Knox, Kentucky and individual training at Fort Belvoir, Washington. He arrived in Vietnam in October of 1967 and was assigned to the Signal Platoon, 11^th Brigade, Americal Division. He served as a Radio Operator.

 

            On July 18, 1968, Franklyn Germany was killed when the truck he was driving overturned. He was 20 years old.

 

            Described as intelligent, mature, and sensitive, Frank had plans to study engineering in college so that he could one day take over his father’s engineering firm.

I am searching for remembrances about this soldier. Please contact me if you knew Frank Germany.

Frank, sorry its taken me thirty five years to grieve your death. I know you understand. I often wonder what your life would have been like, but I know it would have been amazing. I now know how much your family misses you because your cousin set up a memorial site for you. I came across it one day by accident and was very surprised. She talked about how much fun it was when you played with her. I left a message for her and told her a little about you, and told her about what you did to get me off LZ Debbie after the Major left me out there by myself.If she has read it I hope it helped her. I forgot the Web site and can't get back there. Someone left a nice message for your family. He didn't know you but wanted to meet you anyway. Very nice.

I don't know anyone personally who died in Vietnam. I typed "any" in the search and it gave me a page of names including "any", (Germ"any"). I saw this man was from Dearborn, Mi., a city I once lived in. I visited his profile to meet him. I will remember him.
