Frank's story
My brother Frank J. Figerle enlisted at age 17 and served 2 combat tours in Vietnam, and made us, his family, so proud... lost him in December 2025, another casualty of Agent Orange.
I want his sense of humor, his skill as a mechanic, his green thumb and cooking skills always remembered... my brother, my warrior hero.
