My old Unit. I used to love Kleber Kaserne. Kaiserslautern or K-town as we called it was a very great place to be stationed. Sometimes I am humbled by the post of those who were stationed in "Hot Zones." I did not pick my Station. I was fortunate indeed to have been assigned to K-Town.
Sometimes I feel very small when I read about those veterans who have had to actually engage enemy forces.
I thank you very much my Brethren You are the true heros.

Sometimes I feel very small when I read about those veterans who have had to actually engage enemy forces. Man, that's just wrong! You said it yourself, you didn't choose your duty station. You went where you were needed. You served, that's what counts, not where or when.
God bless you for your service Radix, doesn't matter where or when.
