I remember just before we left for OIF V, the movie "300" waqs coming out. We were all anxious and hoping that our flight would be delayed long enough so that we all would get a chance to see it. As usual, the Air Force was running late, and we were able to go see it just a day or two prior to flying. Frank and I did not see it together, but certainly talked about it much. It was a story about soldiers... dedicated to their country, and willing to fight to the death to defend it. It was around this time that I came up with Frank's nickname, "Gasparticus". He was a soldier, dedicated to his principles, morales, and his brothers in arms. Movies about that period of time always portrayed the caracters as warriors! I thought it was fitting that Frank had a "warrior's" name... plus, it just sounds bad ass! I miss you, Frank... you are with me everyday in every step I take. I will carry you until the end of time, as a warrior deserves.
