I was a 1LT stationed in Germany, splitting time between Hahn AB & Spangdahlem AB. Our battalion, motto "Night Hides Not", had short range air defense responsibility for those AB's and Bitburg.

My German neighbors were terrified of Reagan, and thought he would start WWIII. Fortunately, my German was pretty good, as I had been in country nearly 4 years, and lived on the economy for over 3.

I engaged in numerous conversations at the local gasthaus that I frequented 2-3 times a week. My point was the world is a better place when America is strong, and Reagan would see that America regained its footing.

Shortly after Inauguration Day, and the release of the hostages, I was invited to sit at the stammtisch, a table reserved for family members and close friends of the family. I have yet to meet another American accorded that honor.

I feel the same way about Cruz as I did about Reagan.

I was told I was the first enlisted man in the 1st Cavalry Division ever promoted in Europe when we were doing the “Crested Eagle” CPX up in the BAOR area, in Paderborn.
