Grave marker
so today we located the grave marker of Franklin Williams. Franklin is buried in section 6 of Mount Lawn Cemetery. 50 years of lack of maintenance had Franklin‘s grave buried under 10 foot tall weeds, as well as 3 inches of dirt as of today we have mostly uncovered his stone and will continue next week to clear it all. The GPS location of his stone is on findagrave.com. My team and I have done this for a lot of service members however, this one meant more to me than the others. I became aware of Franklin in 2020 on a trip to Washington. Have since visited his name on the memorial in Philadelphia as well as Wildwood New Jersey. Today after four years, we were able to finally locate the exact position of his grave. Rest in peace, sir.

honoring you.....
There is a place
Not far from here
Where spirits walk
And heroes live
And honor still resides.
It is a wall
With names inscribed
Of those who served
When they were asked...
The brothers of my youth.
I go there still
To walk and think
About my life,
And what I've done since
And things that might have been.
There is a debt
I can't repay
Too many lives were spent.
And one man's life cannot suffice
To make their deaths worthwhile.
But there is hope
In the memory
Of those we leave behind
Who know the price that freedom brings
Who can carry on in kind.
I send you now
To touch a name
So the vision can be passed
Remember there is honor still
It is for you to see it lasts.
They are not dead
And have a wish
As all old soldiers do
The reflection you see before you now
Is their wish to live in you.
