A notable resident listed in this record is Frank J. Egan (1898-1988). Born on December 10, 1898, in Hoboken, New Jersey, Egan worked for most of his life as a longshoreman at the Port of New York and New Jersey. He enlisted in the United States Army on September 19, 1917, and was discharged April 19, 1918. He was a member of the International Longshoremen's Association for over six decades. He moved to Florida in 1987 and died a year later on February 8, 1988. He was buried in Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida, and was joined by his wife, Anne, on June 25, 1996.

In 2017, the University of Central Florida was one of three universities selected to launch the National Cemetery Administration’s Veterans Legacy Program Project. The program engaged a team of scholars to make the life stories of veterans buried in the Florida National Cemetery available to the public. The project engages UCF students in research and writing and fosters collaboration between students, faculty and local Central Florida schools to produce interactive curriculum for k-12 students. The corresponding website exhibit uses RICHES Mosaic Interface to create a digital archive of related data. The public can use the project-developed augmented-reality app at more than 100 gravesites at the Florida National Cemetery, where they can access the UCF student-authored biographies of veterans.]]>
