Following his discharge in 1945, Frank went to school, started a family, and enjoyed a successful business career. He remained in almost constant contact with his former comrades in arms in H Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, until his death in Boxford MA at the age of 87 in 2011.

He also has 35 videos on witnesstowar.
Here’s one from part of his time on Peleliu (5 parts)
> After his machine gun was crushed by a Japanese tank, Frank Pomroy had to scramble around to find another one on the battlefield. He located one but a raiding party stormed in and he took a bayonet to the knee when he shot one of them at close quarters. He got that bandaged up just in time to attack the high coral ridges above the air field.
