It is with a heavy heart we, the members of Rolling Thunder Chapter 3 PA, join the family and friends of Frank Charnitski in mourning the loss of a brother in arms. His willingness to stand on the wall that separates good from evil and declare,” no harm will come to you tonight, not on my watch” made our life the most secure in the world. He was one of our greatist generation.
Rolling Thunder Chapter 3 PA. Salute’s the memory of Frank Charnitski and the service he rendered his country.
The members of Rolling Thunder Chapter 3 PA believe when Frank came face to face with our lord Jesus, the first words he heard were, “welcome home, good and faithful servant”.
