Lt Pat Feeley was my sponsor to B Btry, 6/52nd ADA (Hawk) in Germany, 1975. He and Mary Anne went out of their way to make It possible for me and Nancy to spend our first Christmas together. Later we were neighbors in the Housing Area in Kitzengen. I only spent one year in the Btry as the junior Lt. Pat was my inspiration and the best HAWK missile officer in Europe. He set high standards and there was never any doubt about where he stood on any issue. I cherish the memories of life on the TAC Site and the camaraderie we shared. My path in the Army was not with the Air Defense Artillery so my 28 years only allowed me one very short tour with Pat. He was a remarkable person. Yes, the stories he’s shared of those days are all true.
