Acknowledgements and Praise for my research work:

Over the years, I was acknowledged in the following books and documentaries:


The Medal of Honor: The Evolution of America's Highest Military Decoration by Dwight S. Mears: "Tim Frank: Formerly a historian at the Naval History and Heritage Command, was instrumental in providing policy records on the US Navy's interwar noncombat decorations,  without which the related chapter would be inchoate."


Patton at the Battle of the Bulge by Leo Barron: "In addition to veterans' interviews, several researchers and archivists also supported me in this endeavor.... I would like to thank Susan Strange and Tim Frank, who spent innumerable hours pouring over documents in the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. Without them, I would not have had thousands of valuable primary sources to examine."

Eisenhower 1956: The President's Year of Crisis - Suez and the Brink of War by David A. Nichols: "Jeffrey Barlow at the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington, D.C., advised me concerning naval maneuvers during the Suez crisis and Tim Frank facilitated my obtaining a copy of an important declassified study of the naval history of the Suez Crisis."


To Kingdom Come: An Epic Saga of Survival in the Air War Over Germany by Robert Mrazek: "As all World War II students know, negotiating the labyrinth of the National Archives is a daunting challenge. I was thankful to have the assistance of an extraordinary researcher, Tim Frank, who found reports I was unable to locate at the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, MD." 


In the Shadow of a Mountain: A Soldier's Struggle With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder by Susan Dahlgren Daigneault: "I also wish to thank historian Tim Frank for unearthing Dad's military file and sending me a copy, complete with records of the process by which Dad's actions were reviewed in order to award him the Medal of Honor. The map of Winter Street in Oberhoffen that was part of the file I received from Tim went with me to France and was a helpful resource on the day I walked Winter Street."


Chewing Gum, Candy Bars and Beer: The Army PX in World War II by James J. Cooke: "Tim Frank, a professional historian and researcher in College Park, Maryland obtained the photographs from the National Archives. His selection was invaluable for this book."


The Attack on the Liberty: The Untold Story of Israel's Deadly 1967 Assault on a U.S. Spy Ship by James Scott: "James Bamford, Tim Frank, Joseph Bouchard, and Ahron Bregman also graciously shared interviews, letters and e-mails." 


Every Night and Every Morn: Portraits of Asian, Hispanic, Jewish, African-American, and Native American Recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor by John L. Johnson: I also wish to thank the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and especially Victoria, Caro, Laurie, and Timothy for their advice and help and especially for making available the Society's invaluable Archives.
