Billboard of fallen Marine revealed: wivb.com

Friday marks the somber anniversary of the death of a local hero. Marine Sergeant Frank World was killed in Afghanistan one year ago.

It’s a larger-than-life image of Sgt. Frank World. On this day, family members are there to see a digital tribute to the fallen Marine.

World’s sister, Candy World-Rodriguez, said, “It does give a powerful message to the community that there is a war, and lives are being lost.”

One year ago to the day, Frank World lost his life in Afghanistan to a roadside explosive device. He never got to see his daughter Lilly, now 14-months-old.
