As I travel the highways and by ways I always look up and research our hero’s who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. I passed First / Sgt Frankie Lingard’s Highway Memorial Marker. Wish I could have known him and worked with him as I learned so much by that posted by those who had the honor. Thanks for holding the line and being such a true inspiration to others. We are in desperate need of your talents, disposition and leadership!

I was just reflecting on this night with my wife. I was just leaving the Jacksonville area headed back to Orangeburg/Bowman area for duty. My birthday was on the next day and I wanted to get back. I was unusually dressed in uniform with sidearm figuring that I would not make it back in time. Little did i know that as I arrived, I would hear that call go out over the radio. I was just below Santee in my POV driving as fast as I could to get within distance. But my efforts were useless as you were already gone. Man it hurt so bad. You were always a guy who brought light to the room. Always there to help on traffic stops. I had only been out of the academy a year at that point and you always lent a hand. I would tease you about not wearing a vest often and you always said that God would take you when He was ready...vest or no vest. Rest on my brother and we will meet again in the by and by!!!

Your memory lives on in the Troopers that worked with you. You always took time to come down to Holly Hill and work with us. Learned alot from you my friend! I remember that fateful day well, but I will not let it cloud the memories I have from the few years we worked together in Troop 7. God bless you and your family brother!

SFC. Lingard, I can remember the day you went to heaven. I was on duty here in Florida chilling. I was hurt to hear that someone took your life. Only if they know that you were a real God fearing man they would have thought twice about taking your life. But you know God needed you in heaven brother. I miss you brother. Until we meet I'll keep up the good fight. Your friend SFC. Russell.

Cousin Frankie you where my hero. I always have had so much respect for you. I remembered a couple of weeks before your death. You where standing by my mom and pops fire place having a long talk with them and me telling my mom and dad that when i grow up and get older i want to be like my cousin Frankie Lee. You was humbled, God fearing, cool and so much more. When that man took your life. He didnt realize what a great MAN. He took away from his family, friends and co-workers etc..... You will always be remembered and i will try my best to treat everyone with respect and love as you did. May you Rest In Peace and keep being and Angel to watch over our FAMILY. ...Love you....
