The "Grey Ghost" Passes Away

By Charlene Shirk
First Coast News


JACKSONVILLE BEACH, FL -- He was considered the greatest escape artist of World War II -- taken as a prisoner, he slipped out of the enemy's hands seven times. He was so adept at escaping capture, he earned the name "the Grey Ghost."

Frank Grey died over the weekend at his home in Jacksonville Beach. His family tells First Coast News that Grey became a wartime legend because of his defiance in the face of the enemy.

"He never talked about what he did. That was part of the military code. You didn't talk about what you had done, especially if you had escaped from the enemy."

True heroes are those who never brag about their deeds, but who will tell you that they only did their duty.
Imagine how many unsung heroes there are out there. med; R.I.P. sal;

GOD'S BLESSINGS Frank Grey R.I.P. . I believe all men and women who have worn a uniform are hero's, regardless of the actions.
