This is a follow up to my post of January 27. I am still interested in anyone who may have some memories of SP4 Stephen Feistner. SP4 Feistner served in the 2nd Platoon, A Company, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry, 101st Airborne from mid 1966-October, 1967. SP4 Feistner was KIA on October 8, 1967.

Thank you all too for the sacrifices you have made during your lives. We live in a dangerous world and your efforts have helped keep us free and safe.

When i first returned from Vietnam spend many years as a addict and useless adult but with the grace of God and the love of a great woman I returned to life.looked for many years and finally found Derle Walter and Jerry Cohen served with them in Tiger Force got to spend some time with them and that helped with many issues.
God Bless the men and women who defend our rights and freedoms.
I was young and didn't know the trust placed in our hands I only hope more people will wake up and defend our way of life and not let this disappear from the earth. the struggle is here and not half way around the world

First of all, I would like to thank each of you for the sacrifices that you have made, both during war and in peacetime. The efforts of your unit and units like yours are not really appreciated as they need to be. So...THANKS.
I am working on some family history that includes SP4 Stephen Feistner. Stephen served in Vietnam, although I am not absolutely certain of the time frame. I understand that he re-enlisted in August, 1967. His date of death was 10-8-67, which would have been the battle that is discussed in the "Radioman" story.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone that might have some personal memories of Stephen. I want to keep him alive in our family's memory. He deserves at least that. If you would like to share, please email me at feistey41_00@yahoo.com. Any thoughts at all would be deeply appreciated. Prior to using anything, I will be sure to run it back past the contributor for their approval.
Thanks for considering this request and thank you for everything you have done.
Sincerely,
John Feistner

I'm writing for my dad who was in the 327th GIR that landed on Utah Beach on D Day. He is 92 now. I think he was in Holland and I think he said he missd the Battle of the Bulge because he got to go home on leave when his name was pulled from a hat from someone to get leave. I think he was in from 1942 to 1945. I am trying to get his records from St. Louis so I can verify some of his history. I think he said he was in Co. F, not sure which batallion. Any places I should look for information?

Doc Spriggs, I remember when you first came out to the field and hooked up w/2nd platoon. I think it was right after call sign platoon leader Tinkerbell, I believe Lt. Fulcher succeeded him.I do remember the lightning strike and Dong Ap Bia,we were providing security for that mech unit. Dan Carr has been looking for you.

Looking for RTO Riggs. Say Darrell, I have been looking for an RTO named Riggs. We were thrown together in a very difficult situation that bonded us for life. It was during the Battle of My Phu, Southwest of Tuy Hoa. We were in a stand-off shoot out with seven NVA before I stashed Riggs in a spider hole, and made my way back to the CP to get help. Riggs was nailed twice in the left knee, and in all probability lost his leg. I never saw him after we put him on a gun-ship that came in when no Medi-Vacs were allowed to. I only heard from him (by letter through a Congressman from California) when he exposed the Sgt. who ran out on us during the melee. It's been forty-seven years, and I would sure like to see him again before I DEROS from this earthly life.

I was a medic with 2/327 infantry from '68-'70 mostly Bravo Company. I remember Captain Piel. We did go to Hamburger Hill- Dong Ap Bia in '69 sometime after May, but I see no mention of this in the records at all. I still have the field maps for the record. Anybody remember this? I sure do. We were opcom to an armored group from the 1st Cav. There was a bulldozer knocking everything down on the way. Quite an operation! Left under fire. Hit by lightening near there.
