Frank Emond was and will always be my idol.

I was in the Navy band stationed at N.A.S. Pensacola, FL in ‘65 & ‘66 when he was the leader. Frank was always professional, patient, effective and made us all proud to be part of his band. He holds an honored place in my life. I will miss him. – Dan Jacobs, MU2

I hope that you have many more! I am thankful that I had the pleasure of being in your Navy band in Pensacola from 1963-1965. I enjoyed our telephone conversation recently and think of you often. Thanks again for the profile poster you sent me!

Always,
Ed Neal

Thank You Frank for the life example as a God Fearing Christian who served America faithfully in ALL of your YEARS, as member of the US Navy and as man of music and
most of as a PATRIOTIC Man of GOD. Fair winds My Friend. !

My late husband, Francis Joseph Carini, was a veteran of the Korean War. He spent 38.5 years in the USAF. He passed in 2012, but would have been honored to have met you. The world needs more men like you! Thank you for your service and sacrifices for my freedoms and for the USA. May God continue to bless you. Happy Birthday!
