A Note from The Virtual Wall
On 15 October 1967 B Company, 1/5 Infantry, was conducting platoon size search and destroy operations. At 1220 hours an armored personnel carrier exploded an 81mm round that was rigged with a pressure-type detonating device. Sergeant Price was killed and three were wounded. Corporal William A. Schulz, mentioned above by Deputy Chief Swan, was killed in action on 15 Oct 1967 while serving with B Company, 3rd Anti-tank Battalion, 3rd Marine Division.
Every year on the weekend closest to October 15 the New Jersey Deputy Fire Chief's Association conducts a memorial service at this panel. This is "our" panel and we are a proud sponsor. There is one other name on the panel, Marine Corps Veteran/Casualty William Schulz who hailed from Red Bank but attended Middletown High School.
The NJDFCA is a professional organization of paid fire battalion/deputy chiefs who goal is education and training of fellow fire fighters. Deputy Fire Chief Leonard Swan (retired) has been the chairman of this annual service since the memorial was built. The first year the entire Price and Schulz families were present for the dedication.

Haunted
I grew-up with Frank and have always been haunted by his death. I visit his grave in Denville as often as I get back there and visit his name both in DC and on the traveling was.

Peace and condolence, to the family and friends. "He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother.” Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless You for your Sacrifice!!!

I never met Frank, but I knew his mother and father (they were my neighbors in Denville, NJ). I know he was a fine young man who was taken before his time. I've never visited the Wall in Washington because I knew too many fine young men who are honored there and it would be too upsetting for me to see all those names on the Wall.

We Remember
Frank is buried at Denville Cemetery, Denville,NJ. PH
NEVER FORGOTTEN
FOREVER REMEMBERED
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."
Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.
We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Known by a name
My eyes scan the wall,
Erected in memorial.
So many died,
So many sacrificed.
My fingers touch a name,
One of the many.
Who was this hero?
I did not know Frank. His name is all I know. His life is a mystery. It is odd, I think, to be known by ones death. How he lived, I do not know, but my heart is filled with compassion when I think of the life that he sacrificed for our country, his life. God bless your memory, Frank. May it live on in the hearts of countless Americans, forever. You have my gratitude and respect. May you rest in peace. (Posted as part of the Gridley High School posting project.)

Thank you
My name is Heidi Finck and I attend the Gridley High School. I’m doing a school posting project for my History class. While doing this project I realized there was more to this project than I thought. I now realize that if it wasn’t for soldiers like you I would not have the freedoms I have today, so now I look at you and I am proud of what you have done for me. I will never forget the obligations you had to do for your country. You will always be respected and never forgotten
