Mr. Sullivan,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I knew Frank and his brothers as Very young men. He was the reason my dad,(Frank Murphy) got me to join St. Kevin's Drum Corp.
I remember when he went into the 'tar pit' at Columbia Point. Anyone remember that, Tom?
My prayers are with you all.
