Father Quealy preformed a marriage for Kenneth S. Carpenter, AMH-3, U.S. Navy and Anita Frances Franco on February 5th 1966 at the Fort Ord California Chapel. I think it was his second marriage he had ever preformed. He seemed more nervous than we were. I remember him saying that he was praying for the war to end because he knew that Vietnam was his next duty assignment. Ken and Anita Carpenter (Photo Credit and Commentary: Kenneth Carpenter) Rest in peace with the warriors.

who served with the





1st INFANTRY DIVISION



" THE BIG RED ONE "





was a posthumous recipient of the





SILVER STAR



PURPLE HEART



NATIONAL DEFENSE SERVICE MEDAL



VIETNAM SERVICE MEDAL



REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM CAMPAIGN SERVICE MEDAL







The following article appeared in TIME magazine at his death -





“ … Assigned to the 1st Infantry Division, Captain Quaely – against the advice of senior officers at field headquarters in Dau Tieng – insisted on boarding a helicopter of medics and troop reinforcements flying to the relief of the Big Red One’s 1st Battalion, under attack in War Zone C, northwest of Saigon.



Landing at the battle site, Father Quealy hurriedly gave last rites to dying soldiers from a platoon of B Company.



Just then, a Viet Cong soldier stepped out from the brush, fired at the chaplain with a machine gun.



Within moments, Quealy was dead.



From his pocket fell his diary: the last entry of which was a passage copied out from the Gospel according to Matthew:



“So how will my heavenly Father treat you unless each of you forgives his brother with all his heart.”
