Frank was nominated by his wife, Tayler:
I would like to nominate my wonderful husband DC3 Frank Donley. He joined the navy just over two years ago and has worked very hard since the beginning. Not only is he a wonderful, loving, and caring husband but he is also a wonderful and caring shipmate. He spends extra time working with his shipmates to ensure they have everything they need to succeed in their navy career. Even if that means staying after hours to help them out. He always puts others above himself no matter the circumstances. He works very hard to provide our family with everything we need. He will forever be my hero and a hero to the young ones around him. I just want him to know that his hard work is extremely appreciated. And in the end the sacrifices he makes to protect our freedom are worth being acknowledged. I love you with all of my heart Frankie and you will always be my hero.
