HN CHRISTIAN FRANZ FEIT III

 
29 Jul 2001

Buddy Feit was a great guy ...
He was an "only son and child" and didn't have to serve
but did anyway.

He is remembered.

From a High School classmate,
John Nelson
(now deceased)



Buddy Feit

is memorialized by his classmates from
Smethport Area High School,
Smethport, Pennsylvania,
Class of 1965.

MEMORIAM

My beloved friend,
So many years have passed
Since I received the sad news
That, in the service of saving lives of others,
You lost your own.

Never has a week gone by
And, many times, not a day has passed
When I have not thought of you
And our friendship.

I sought out your name
Chiseled into the black granite wall,
Touched it with my hands,
Viewed it through my tears.

Though the years may pass
I shall never forget you
And our bond.

From a friend.

A Note from The Virtual Wall

Kilo Company, 3/26th Marines, had two men killed in action on 24 Jan 1968 and a number of others wounded - one of whom died the following day. The three men were
  • LCpl Francis Pennetti, Philadelphia, PA
  • HN Christian F. Feit, Smethport, PA (DoW 25 Jan 1968)
  • Pfc Kenneth V. Goodman, Stewart, MN

While John Nelson's original memorial implies that Buddy Feit was an only child, he was not; he has a younger sister.

"You guys are the Marine's doctors -
There's none better in the business than a Navy Corpsman ..."
-- Lieutenant General "Chesty" Puller --
