Book Description
This book is about Frankford High School, a Philadelphia school that has educated students since 1910. It attempts to follow the lives of 204 students over the years who attended the school and went on to serve in the Armed Forces, eventually giving their lives in service to the country. Each student made the ultimate sacrifice. This book begins with a brief history of the founding of Frankford High School. You are introduced to "The Heroes of Frankford High School"--the 204 brave individuals who gave their life in military service. There is a profile of each of their lives--where they were born, what their family was like, their education and career path prior to military service, and their time in service until their death. The book includes many pictures and most are photographs from the Frankford High School yearbook. Some others came from family members and are used with their approval. The profiles vary greatly in length. Some of the individuals were well known in their time and much material is available about them. Others were very difficult to research and only the bare minimum of information could be found. But each equally important in their country's service. Let's not forget that these men and one woman, were parents, children, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and friends who were mourned in their time and should always be remembered and never, ever forgotten. It is the very least that we can do.
