"It's funny, you know? Two tours, Afghanistan and Iraq and I wasn't scared for a single moment. The first time I got scared… was on a plane on the way home. I kept thinking God was gonna pull the rug out from under us, you know? Shit, that's his kind of funny, you know. But the plane landed safe and we were home. Driving through traffic. Yeah, you pass fast food and donut shops and all that… that greasy shit. It's the shit you fought to protect and then the car stops. We were outside her school. I get to her classroom, right? She's in there… but she's got no idea. She's got no idea that Daddy's home. I walk in, these kids, they're not even studying, they're… doing some kind of yoga. Yeah. She's there. She's doing her poses, you know. She's bending and, you know, she's moving. She looks like a flower. Yeah. And, you know, you can't even understand it, you know, how does something like that have… How does something that beautiful… How does that… does that come from me, you know? And she looks up and she sees me. I see her. By God, that's real. That's real, Red. Boom. In an instant, she's across that classroom floor, she's in my arms. She's squeezing me so tight, I swear I was gonna bust a rib, you know? We just stayed there like that, we're holding each other. Teacher, she's filming the whole thing on her phone, you know, she's gonna put it on YouTube or some shit. She can't hold the thing steady, because, you know, she's… she's bawling so hard, and the kids are all wailing, you know, they're screaming. And me? Shit, I'm the worst of all. I'm a… I'm a rubber-face clown, you know. I cried so hard. But not my baby. Not my girl. You know, she's my girl. She's… She's not crying, she's holding me up. My girl, she's keeping me on my feet. She says, "I knew it, Daddy. I knew it." And then we go home. Wife, the boy. Place is the exact same. It's like it was just holding its breath waiting for me to get back, you know? Then it hit me. All of it, you know.
The first time I felt how tired I was, you know. I was just...tired, you know? But not her, my girl was up. See, she wanted me to, uh...she wanted me to tuck her in. She had that book...her favorite book, it was under her pillow. One Batch, Two Batch...Penny and Dime. She...she outgrew it, she knew it, but she didn't care. She wanted it. She looked at me and she begged me, Red. She begged. She begged. I said, "No. Daddy's too tired, see. But I'll...I'll read to you tomorrow night, I promise." Yeah. Never think that for her, there was not gonna be any tomorrow. The last time I see her, I'd be holding her lifeless body in my arms. Meat was spilling out of her, Red, the place where her face used to be."

"We don't get to pick the things that fix us, Red. Make us whole, make us feel purpose. My moment of clarity? It came from the strangest of places. I need to take care of the scum that killed my family."
Advantages:
- Highly disciplined and trained in hand to hand combat, numerous firearms and military explosives. Even among fellow career marines Frank is considered remarkably gifted in warfare, pretty much to one-man army levels
- Pragmatic in combat, willing to use whatever is nearby to get the job done whether it be a wrench, a hammer or a door, et cetera
- Crazy levels of prepared. You never know when you might need a razor blade. So Frank hides one inside his own forearm, which he then covers with a bandage
-Extraordinarily high pain tolerance
-No mercy given to criminals
Disadvantages:
- Brain damage sustained keeps him in a constant state of emotionally volatility recalling the death of his entire family, consequently his rage is easy to exploit
- Impulsive and sociopathic
- Lessened sense of self-preservation, living only for his war on crime
- His love for animals and soft spot for children are also exploitable
