“Our son wanted nothing more than to make a difference in our world,” said Frank’s father, Warren R. Frank, in a statement sent to the media. “He was not a movie version soldier, but a man who looked forward to loving his children.” …

It also said that he looked forward to retiring from the service and planned to teach high school history and coach track. “Our deep sorrow is not in the life we had with him, but in the loss of life we always thought we would share,” wrote Frank’s father. “He was our son, our brother, devoted husband and an enthusiastic father.
