Funeral for SGT Frank J. Suliman (Korean War)
This January, DPAA announced that it had accounted for SGT Frank J. Suliman, US Army. SGT Suliman was lost in North Korea on 1 December 1950.
SGT Suliman will be buried early next week – on Tuesday, 30 April 2019, in Wrightstown, New Jersey. Regrettably, DPAA does not seem to have posted the specific location for his funeral or interment.
If any TAH readers have the precise location for either SGT Suliman’s funeral or interment, please post it in comments below. And if any readers are in that area and have the time, here’s an opportunity to give someone lost during the Korean War a proper final send-off.

Rest In Peace, Soldier.

Never Forget.Bring Them All Home.
“Cmdr. Frank Aleck of VFW Memorial Post 3117 in Edison said post members will attend Suliman’s viewing and burial and will notify other VFW organizations in hopes of presenting a large turnout at the cemetery”
I suspect there will be.
Welcome Home SGT Frank J. Suliman. Rest easy in your home soil. We Salute your Service and Honor your Sacrifice. God’s Peace and Comfort to the Family.
Many Thanks to the people who work to identify and get these Warriors Home. Many Thanks, too, for Hondo, 26Limabeans, and AnotherPat for bringing us the “Rest of the Story.”
Y’all make a comment. I ask for so very little. Thanks!
Roll out that Gun you keep under cover and render a proper Salute at the bugle call.
I expect it to be clean and drab, properly serviced and crewed. Ask a neighbor to help.
The 1842 reproduction 6 pounder mountain gun we had was lost when my Captain lost it in a divorce. She didn’t need or want it, but didn’t want CPT Buffalo to have it. The chassis and wheels rotted off and the tube was “stolen” at some point in time. I do own a repro 1862 Cohorn trench mortar, man portable with a trained four man crew standing by to render Honors. Ain’t nothing but a telegraph keying to assemble a full battalion of guns to render 21 gun Salute.
Beezer, Barefoot James, Good Time Charlie, and I will be standing by for the firing command on the mortar.
Rest in peace Sergeant Suliman.
Rest in peace SGT Suliman. May the road rise to meet you and the wind be always at your back.
Rest in Peace.
Bring her back one more time.
