Eine sehr gute Idee, 20-Jahre nach Maueröffnung diesen Gedenkstein zu setzen. Die Bürger von Bad Hersfeld hatten stets ein gutes Verhältniszu den Amerikanern. Der kalte Krieg ist lange aus. Die Mauer ist eingerissen. Nie wieder Krieg! Diese Parole sollten sich die US-Amerikaner besonders einprägen....

POZ48,

It's nice to know that all the long hours and hard work we put in so many years ago have been recognized with this token of gratitude. The flame of freedom shall never be extinguished as long as there are brave men to guard its borders.

gzies1,

I am happy to see that finally, after many years, the men and women of the U.S. Army (3rd/11 and 4th/11 ACR) are being honored and remembered by this monument. Thanks to all those fine soldiers who protected West Germany against the threat from the East (the Russians and Commies) for 42 years! I grew up in Bad Hersfeld during that period and we were always aware of how important our American friends were to our freedom and peace. Thanks for posting this wonderful clip.
