Remember, Honor, Teach. Saturday was Wreaths Across America day, where evergreen wreaths are laid at the graves of veterans across the country to honor of their service and sacrifice. We also placed a wreath at the Vietnam War memorial at Williamson High School, in memory of those from Tioga County who fought and lost their lives during the Vietnam War.

It is with heavy hearts we share the passing of Vietnam veteran Frank Yungwirth. Frank was a decorated U.S. Army combat helicopter pilot who proudly served his country during the Vietnam war. He later became a beloved teacher in Wellsboro for many years, and also served as a Post Officer with the Wellsboro VFW 4907.

Frank played a key role in The Moving Wall’s visit to Tioga this past summer, sharing an emotional and personal message of service and sacrifice during our closing ceremony. He also shared insights into his time as a pilot during his time in Vietnam in an interview with WENY earlier this year, saying “it’s been a hell of an adventure.”

Mr. Yungwith’s passing will be felt by the Tioga County veteran community and beyond.
