What did he do when he served?
Born and raised in Plymouth, New Hampshire native Cass Frank Lee proved himself to be a loyal leader since his first day enlisted in the U.S. army in June of 1970. Although he passed away in 1975, the shortened five years that he officially served for our country were anything but passive, average ones for this selfless patriot. During his time, Cass Frank Lee devoted his time and honor to our country so impressively well that he earned five badges of honor (pictured below).

When he passed, professionals on the scene at the time of finding of his remains concluded that the cause of his death was an unidentified explosive device. Considering the circumstances, officials inferred that his passing was instantaneous and took just a few seconds to occur. After his body remains were found and the autopsy was performed following Vietnam, his young sister fell ill and passed shortly after him. Her cause of death was-unfortunately- cancer. His parents then mourned over the loss of both of their children very close to one an other, which was without a doubt tragic and heartbreaking. His parents died years after this.
