Frank was a friend to us at the Dover-Foxcroft town office. He served our country in the Vietnam War. He recently passed away. We will miss him.

He was my hero in my life. He was a wonderful man and father. He is deceased and I miss him more than words can say.

Son of an Irish Immigrant, Francis W. Lyons, (Deceased: 02/2005), served the duration of the war during WWII as a Gunnersmate U.S. Navy in the Pacific Theatre. He attained the rank of Acting Chief Petty Officer and saw action during the Island Hopping Campaign, along with service in the North Atlantic on Mine Sweeper and L/C Ship. Thanks Dad. R.I.P. Your son, Gunnery Sergeant Matt Lyons, USMC Ret.

This tribute is in Honor of the Father-In-Law I never met. The father of my dear late husband.

Disabled Vet, Passed away in 2007 in a Florida VA Hospital

He served in the Korean conflict, was in U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. Was proud to be an Americian.

My father-in-law is a Veteran of three wars. He served in the U.S. Coast Guard during WWII, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War. His ship "Tanney" was credited with saving the power plant during the attack on Pearl Harbor. He is a soldier that deserves to be honored!

Frank has served his country for over 20 years. He is a military retiree as well as being active in the veteran community. He was Director of Maine Veteran Services for almost eight years and he was appointed by President Clinton to the Board of Directors of the National Veterans Development Corporation. He is "true soldier" in every sense of the word. I honor him and every American soldier for their service.

I am voting in honor of my father, Francis A. Harding who in spite of being too old for the draft, on hearing of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, joined the US Army in 1942, made Captain (Infantry) and served in the OSS in Europe until discharged in 1946.

A young man I only knew a few years but his friendship and memories as young men growing up on a farm live deep in my heart, 45 years later. His family were my mentors.
