San Antonio soldier killed in Iraq grenade attack
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO From Operation Iraqi Freedom, a Central Texas soldier told of his nights spent in the charred remains of one of Saddam Husseins palaces and days spent guarding the Central Bank of Baghdad.
To Robert L. Frantzs family, it appeared the 19-year-old high school dropout with a 2-year-old daughter and plans to marry had matured quickly since joining the Army and then going overseas for the war in Iraq.
He wanted his daughter to be proud of him, said his stepfather, Vincent Smith, a Lackland Air Force Base firefighter. He grew into a man strictly overnight, by joining the Army. He was a little scared, but excited. He knew he was going to do good things.
But Frantz died June 17 as a result of a grenade attack the previous night, according to Phil Reidinger, a spokesman for Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.
Frantz, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry, was hit with shrapnel while he was standing guard duty. An unknown assailant threw the grenade over a wall in the Iraqi capital.
Thanks to all who have and are still serving our Nation............... -
He lived to be 100 years old even after enduring all that hell in the Pacific! RIP! Thanks to all who served and currently serve this greatest nation on God's green earth.
