I remember this veteran from a story a few years back. Bob Dole was a guest of honor at his birthday party. Bob told Frank then "You know any story you tell about the Great War, you can make-up anything you want to. After all who can dispute what you are saying. You are the only one left, so you could say that you were surrounded by 100 enemy troops and they surrendered to you with just your empty pistol!". Gotta love the stories that old warriors tell, there are several in the historical group that I belong to. I am like a little kid sitting cross-legged on the floor at my grandparents house listening to a story when these guys get to talking. It is almost magical.
