18 Apr 2003 I served with him in Vietnam. Carmine was the greatest Marine I ever had the honor of knowing. He is remembered on the Delta 1/1 web site James (Tony) Fraini 2228 El Paso St, Ramona Ca 92065 jamesfraini226@msn.com

15 May 2006 I attended school with Carmine and his brother Anthony in Passaic and was shocked to see his name on the "Wall". He entered the eternal life on 4/25/68, my birthday. May you rest in peace, Brother. From a friend, Rev. Ross A. Licata 15 Lake Avenue, Otisville, NY 10963 vet.minister@frontiernet.net

27 Nov 2006 Carmine was a student in my seventh grade class. He was a vivacious and generous person whose smile and personality made a deep impression on me and I am sure his classmates. Carmine and his family remain in my heart and prayers. His sacrifice and that of his buddies shall always be remembered.

A Note from The Virtual Wall On 16 April 1968 the 1st Bn, 1st Marines relocated from the Ca Lu area to Khe Sanh, where they established defensive positions on several of the hills overlooking the combat base. North Vietnamese troops were thick in the area, and shelling by NVA mortars and artillery was a daily occurrence for the Marines. Delta Company was hit three times on 25 April 1968. No harm was done by incoming fire at 0100 and 1000, but at 1300 two 82mm mortar shells killed three Marines and wounded three others. The dead were Cpl Carmine Novembre, Passaic, NJ; LCpl Paul L. Dennis, Cornwells Heights, PA; and Pfc Donald Balkit, Bethlehem, PA.
