European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 10, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday. October 10, 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 Anh Landers letters dear Ann Landers c an you use this i Hope so. It had a powerful effect on me fur reasons you can guess. Sorry i Don t know the name of the author. I am simply a daily Riadi a in Illinois dear roader 1 can indeed. Thank you for sending it on. Trajectory in the lonely i to m of his room a Man Sils and writes letters to his children who no or answer. Lie re Mcthers that he neut bothered to answer the letters from those who Lotode him when he was Unuer. It Hegins this is my last will and testament i leave to uni All that 1 have in our care and keeping. May you never worship material tiling but work for the Joy in it. And remember that someone loved you from a distance. Which is the Only kind of love some men can give dad another pain clenched his heart for the last time. A neighbor closed the lids on his old red eyes. And forced his Mouth into a pleasant smile. Dear Ann Landers i am 18 years old and i would like to share my Story with your readers. Call it a warning. Six months ago i was on top of the world. My Best Friend and i went to Hawaii to attend College. I me a terrific Guy the first week. I la Call him Peter every thing was great. But it changed in one night. My Roommate. Peter and i were coming Back from a party. We were All drunk. My Roommate was driving. She lost control of the car. Ran off the Road arid we flipped Over several times. Peter was killed instantly. My room mate and i spent months in the Hospital but we did t complain. We were Lucky to be alive. Until that Accident. I never believed anything i had heard or read about the dangers of driving drunk. I always thought the cops were just out to hassle people. I would give anything if we had been arrested that night and put in jail. I thank the Good lord that no other car was involved. Could t live with the guilt if we had killed someone else. Ann. Please print my letter. If just one person gels the message something Good will have come from that horrible Acci Dent. Lots of regrets in Honolulu dear regrets too bid life is such a harsh teacher. Ii gives us a Grade first and the lesson later. Thanks for writing. Dear Ann Landers i am writing to you because i could care less but i Don t. I wonder if the millions of educated people who use this phrase Reali a they arc saying exactly the opposite of what they mean. The Correct wording when one wants to express total indifference is i could t care it irritates me every time i hear in Tyler Texas Welcome o the club. I act this complaint at least once a week. Of course you Are right but unfortunately too Many people who torture the language could i care less. Rihino Lovilo to now America Syndi sergeant loves Turkey and he wants to come Back i m going Bact to America this month. I be just finished i 15-month tour in Turke i t he inc a 1 month tour in i uric and i m Happy to be going Home. The reality of leaving however has caused me to reflect on my life during the past 15 months. To walk the streets of Tarsus where he apostle Paul Vas Horn grew up and eventually left to meet his destiny at the hands of god. Is emotionally moving. To stand at the top of Nemroud Mountain and Witch the Sun Rise Over Stone Sli tues and a great Pyramid More than 2,000 cars old is hum bling. Walking the streets of Istanbul puts Jou squarely at the Crossroads Between he rope and Asia and brings to mind every i Urkov is a land of Lancina Ting contrasts. A movie about intrigue and adventure its history alone is enough to overwhelm made in uni 30s you. This area called Turkey is in truth. The people arc Friendly open honest and the Cradle of Civili action. Charming. They truly believe that we their Turkey is a land of fascinating contrasts Coppersmith arc among he Many skilled craftsmen found in turkish bazaars. Thanks to people who care 1 wus recently Reading the stars and stripes when my attention was drawn to the letter written by mrs. Gianntti. I have never written a letter to a newspaper before but after Reading her letter i Felt i should. I just wanted to say thank you to her and All the people Back Home who write to say they care. It s their support Back Home that gives us the courage and fortitude to do what we must do. Without their caring and understanding our reason for doing what we do would be hollow and meaningless. Again i say thank you so very much for being there. Sec. John sorg Hof. A Cruny extending the hand of Friendship several months ago president Reagan was brought to task because he wanted to visit a cemetery in Germany and Lay Wreath at the graveside of fallen German soldiers of world War ii some of the sol Diers were with an is unit. Spon Sion Lui i i i Iii Iii a.

There arc no comments when Japan or Italy arc visited so Why must Germany and its people be singled out for censure the War has been Over for 40 years now. Harbor is in the past Hiroshima is in the past and the death Camps arc in the past. Remember the past and learn from it. Don t relive and Wallow in the ashes of the past. Extend the hand of Friendship As these veterans and former enemies arc doing. Roy i. Labarrer Dhahran saudi Arabia american quests Are just that guests. They treat us that Way. The old cliche about once a Friend alway a Friend was surely coined in Turkey. Their resolve As members of nato is inspiring. They believe in the natural right of their nation to remain free. They have no reservations about dying u defend their nation from aggression. They Are honorable courageous and reliable soldiers. The Quality of the crafts produced in Turkey cannot be matched. The Copper brass Wood and Rug work is Beautiful. The centuries of tradition that one sees in each piece speak volumes to the dedication and patience of turkish craftsmen and crafts women. The is wonderful. In .1 Nur of Turkey u u can encounter scenery to the grand cation the coastal Road in California tin grand "1 tons. Death and new York c in.
