Tribute to Frank Darling

Frank and Judy were just married. On January 25, 1993 they were on their way to work at the CIA Headquarters in McLean, Virginia. While they stopped at a red light to turn into the main entrance, a Pakistani illegal foreign national calmly walked out of his car yielding an AK-47 assault riffle and began shooting into their car. Bullets flew through their car and into other cars. Frank was shot four times the final bullet at point blank range to his head. Declared a national hero that day, he saved his wife’s life by pushing her underneath the glove compartment. The word terrorism and complete devastation does not even begin to describe the horrific nightmare that ensued. Almost 19 years later, the pain and heartache of a beautiful life was snuffed away in the time it took a madman to squeeze off as many bullets as possible.
