Franklin David Addison

The following was taken from an interview by Samantha Randby, a student at Ordean Middle School.

Franklin served during the Korean War in the Navy and Air Force in the 6th and 7th fleet. He was located in the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Japan at this time, and worked in a radar unit. Upon detecting an aircraft, they would send a plane from the carrier to determine if it was friendly or not.

Franklin also lost a brother, Sam, in the Korean War. Sam was in the Army.
