My deepest gratitude to the many people who have prayed for my husband, my daughter (Frank's big
sister) and for me since Frank's death. It is by God's grace and comfort that we have made it thus far....we
miss our son.... our loss is Heaven's gain.

Frank lived and died by these 7 core values:
Loyalty
Duty
Respect
Selfless Service
Honor
Integrity
Personal Courage

Son, your blue star has turned to gold, you have now been deployed to guard the gates of Heaven...rest
easy now Soldier, you've earned the right.

Very sorry for the loss of CPL. Frank R. Gross, we received his memorial CD from family and as a father of
a fallen soldier are hearts go out to his family. We lost our son on August 14th, 2011 in Afghanistan due to
an IED. Seeing the pictures of Frank when he was younger reminded me so much of our son.
I wish you the best in this painful time. God bless and God bless all our soldiers.
