== Background ==
Before the war, Frank Minoso is Born in Trenton, New Jersey, in September 20, 1919. Frank was a skilled machinist, with a dream of opening up his own garage one day. After he out-talked the recruiter at the local YMCA, he decided to enlist.
== Events of Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault ==
At boot camp, Minoso impressed the drill sergeant by smashing a dummy apart with his rifle butt. With his towering build and incredible physical strength, he was considered the strongest of Private Tommy Conlin's squad.
fter boot camp, the new recruits parted ways. While Tommy was assigned to Pearl Harbor, Minoso would have fought in either Bataan or the East Indies and was promoted to Sergeant before the Makin Island Raid, where he was reunited with his boot camp fellows. He received a promotion once more on Guadalcanal, to the rank of Gunnery Sergeant.
Although he was a competent tactical leader as well as a good support gunner, Minoso's squadmates generally considered him to be overshadowed by Tommy's brilliance. Minoso was a bit uncomfortable and possibly jealous about this. Nevertheless, he and Tommy were very close friends despite their competition.
During their redeployment after Guadalcanal, he was a 'passenger' in an SBD Dountless aircraft, as a fill-in rear gunner. Unfortunately, his plane was tailed by a Japanese "Zero", who shot and wounded him before Tommy could clear his tail. Alternatively, if Tommy failed to destroy the Zero in time, Minoso would be shot down and killed.
In either scenario, Minoso wasn't able to participate the action in Tarawa due to his injury or death, leaving Tommy in charge of the squad. In both cases, His beloved Browning Automatic Rifle was inherited by Tommy.
