[MrSnowus]

thanks for the memories. i was L troop 76-80. loved the job, city and the people.

[theDeitz]

@MrSnowus and my thanks to you, BTW have we meet?

[PhantomCountry]

Thanks Deitz, McPheeters Barracks is one of those love hate memories. There was an extreme amount of racial tension there in 70-71. Thank God it all worked out for the better. In so far as that area of Germany and Bad Hersfeld, I found that the people there were most receptive and gracious to the Americans. I lived on the economy in Gosmannsrode, 14 klics from the post. I loved it there. Bebra, Kircheim, Kassel, Fulda, Marburg all had some new to offer. Thanks , Bob Wallace D co. 54th eng 70-71

[theDeitz]

@PhantomCountry Bob thank for your post. I was in Hersfeld when Martin Luther King was killed. The only serious racial tension I experienced was while we were in Graf for training. After leaving the Graf EM Club I was jumped by two, I survived with only a concussion ;-)

[turtle19dad]

Will do, I will keep you posted since you got me the update and the pics.

[turtle19dad]

I guess it posted the message twice. My internet was acting up. Anyway, yes I did check it out. I also was wondering if you knew how I could get a copy of my German Schutzenschnur Bronze (marksmanship) award orders. I went when I was stationed there. I think it was with 470th Feldjagers. AWESOME site by the way.

[theDeitz]

@turtle19dad Sarg sorry I can't help you with the German Schutzenschnur Bronze. I too would like to have my German Schutzenschnur Bronze orders. I still have my Marksmanship badge for my weapons proficiency with their German MG42. Let me know if you have any luck.

I was in the 564th MP Company, the group that lived on Subpost. I was in the last group of people living there when it closed. Thank you for the photos. I have long since been wanting to go back to Bad Hersfeld. I would like to show my family where I used to be stationed. I hope to someday make it back there to see it for myself. Thanks again.

[theDeitz]

Deitz - Du hast tiefe Erinnerungen an Bad Hersfeld und die Kaserne auf der Hohen Luft. Wann wirst Du wieder einmal nach HEF kommen? Wir sollten uns treffen und von alten Zeiten reden. Mein Elternhaus mit Grundstück ist verkauft und das Haus ist abgerissen für eine neue Wohnanlage. Die Zeit geht - wie wir auch. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland über den Atlantik - donaubiker in Bayern.

[theDeitz]

@donaubiker Danke für die Nachricht - Ja, ich will zurück zu mir nach Hause ;)

vielleicht 2011???? Dann haben wir ein Bier mein Freund.

Ich kann nicht gut übersetzen, Gaither
