This small town was mighty proud of Doug Vose.
A Purple Heart recipient and Bronze Star soldier, Vose was one of its favorite sons.
"I'm just so proud for having known him, and thank his mother for sharing him," said mother-in-law, Vicki Frank. "He was my second son."
Vicki and Michael Frank lowered the flag at their home where Vose had spent many a nights on the couch. The All-American athlete from Concrete High played sports with Michael Frank and dated his sister.
"He gave his life for his country. That's the ultimate sacrifice. What more could a soldier give?" said Michael Frank. "He'll be missed sorely by all of us."
