Could you provide a translation of your account name? I assume it is German. I was stationed in Germany back '83-'87 but did not learn enough German.

Thanks,

Gladly. With a short German lesson to boot.

My screen name is also the first three words of the German national Anthem. It is, in fact, the second verse of Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles.

Einigkeit = Unity (Ein = one; Keit is an suffix like "ing")

Recht = Rights or Justice dependent upon context.

Freiheit = Freedom and/or Liberty. The Statue of Liberty in German is calle the Freiheits Statue (but one lone Germanic word).

I had one full year as a student to learn the language. Otherwise it would have been a struggle that I am not sure I would have won.
Cheers,
ERF.
