Maj. Frank Gulledge

It is with deepest sorrow that we share the news that Frank "Uncle Frank" Gulledge passed away on Tuesday, May 27th. It is a great loss to the Purple Foxes, the Foxy Ladies and the Marine Corps.

"Uncle Frank" was the creator and webmaster of the Vietnam Purple Fox website, but that is an understatement. He spent literally thousands of hours as our historian, making sure the stories of our unit would never be forgotten by generations to come.

In addition to his work with the Vietnam Purple Foxes, he was an avid supporter of the active-duty Foxes during their three tours in Iraq; the Warriors of Hill 881S; and the Foxy Ladies.

Details on the funeral arrangements and services will be released next week.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Many of you also know his wife, "Aunt Gail" Gulledge - one of the founding Foxy Ladies. Understandably, this is very heartbreaking for her, and we want to inform you that she is in the hospital herself. However, she is scheduled to be released late this weekend. We know that many of you will want to call and send flowers, but please hold off on doing so until we get more details. She has been told that we are all thinking of her and will be there for her whenever she needs us.

We will never forget you, "Uncle Frank"!

Semper Fi,
The Purple Foxes and Foxy Ladies

Uncle Frank

There are just no words to be said about a man that touched the lives of so many, a helping hand that was available for all. Shoes far too big to fill, God bless,
