Fallen Patriot Commemoration
This Interactive American Flag is dedicated to:
U.S. Army Major
​Curtis D. Feistner of White Bear Lake, MN
(1990 West Point Grad)

MAJ Curtis Feistner, 34, served as part of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)
with 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, aka Night Stalkers, from Fort Campbell, KY
Killed, along with 9 soldiers, February 22, 2002 when his MH-47E Chinook helicopter crashed during training in the Philippines

We honor and thank U.S. Army Major Feistner for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.
(Appears to be first USMA graduate killed in GWOT - Global War on Terror)

Inspirational Quote about Feistner:
... from a flight school bud's wife ...
"Curt was a dear friend and my husband's roommate throughout flight school at Ft. Rucker, AL. He was also in our wedding, and was the man to swat me on the behind as we left the church. Our son, Jacob Curtis, is his namesake. He was a man among men-a true hero. We are proud of him, and we are lucky to have called him friend."
-Amy Sauls of Guntersville, AL

The personal Patriot(s) remembered by this Interactive American Flag include(s):
U.S. Army (Retired) Lieutenant Colonel
Edward J. Sweeney Jr.

Vietnam Veteran of Boston, Massachusetts
20 year Army career (1967-1987) in Aviation and Corps of Engineers
Awarded Silver Star, Bronze Star, and 45 Air Medals while serving as scout helicopter pilot ( shot down 3 times ;) in Vietnam

We honor and thank U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Ed Sweeney Jr. for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.

​Ed Sweeney Jr. inspires us with his leadership - how he looked out for the welfare of his men:
Chief Warrant Officer Frank Glenn, a fellow Vietnam War scout helicopter pilot of Platoon Leader Ed Sweeney, repeated Captain Sweeney's directive to his 9 scout pilots, "Don't be a cowboy, don't take any unnecessary risks, no hot-dogging, and don't get your crew killed.  Your job is to return to base everyday."
