Army veteran Frank Stillmock, who grew up in South Omaha, never wanted his comrades to be forgotten.

Every week, he would scan the newspaper looking for World War II veterans who had died.

He cut out the obituaries and pasted them into a book. Teresa Stillmock, his daughter-in-law, recently paged through the book and counted nearly 700.

A paratrooper during the war, Frank Stillmock also rang a bell outside his Battle Ground, Wash., residence 21 times each time a veteran died. It was his way of honoring them.
