Readers applaud military dental medical staffs i be been wailing for something Perma nent to be done for my front Teeth since 1983. I be gone from one wailing list to Aneth or meanwhile dealing Wuh color mis matched temporary Leeth and ones that would fall off every other Moth. Needless co say i began to question the Quality of my dental care. Free is Nice but i d rather pay for the Quality. Since i be been at Babenhausen. Though my View has drastically changed. The clinic Here is housed in an old building not quite As pretty As the modern ones stateside but i found Nal you can t judge a Book by its cover. There s a Tot of heart in there. Even though the staff is pined against a heavy work Load they always seem to find the patience to offer the Best professional and mom courteous service possible. Thanks Lodr. Chucnin and his staff i be been fitted for a Bridge Only one month Afler arriving Here. I would like in say thanks to the staff at the Linaben Hauson clinic Tor their dedication and can do Altitude. I m sure the soldiers in this Region will receive the finest care Possi ble. I know thai i am getting the Best care Money can buy. Sri Marcus other Dilby Nehamen Germany 1 have been in the army More than is years and visited Many medical facilities during that time. But i have never received the Quality of care Thill i recently received As in Lien during my stay at Hie i Josh station Hospital in Heidelberg. 1 was admit cd to Ward 5 for major surgery and spent 10 Days under heir car the officers enlisted personnel and civilian nurses were the most professional and comic incl of any medical staff i have encountered. They made my stay Ai the Hospital very comfortable and can be proud to be a part of a medical facility that i i hint is one of the a i in the army. My hats Oil to them and their command. Master fit. William s. Neff Heidelberg people some Liiri ask us Why we Don t run thank you letters it is because we receive so Many we would not have room for any other letters. But we be decided to share one or two of the More interesting my try once i week. De. Retiree feels government is reneging on promises i have been watching the news for More on the latest military expenditure Cut. Since the initial Story regarding removal of retirees a Cess to military hospitals i have not seen a word. My views on this subject Ore As follows it would appear that he Powers that be in the military and outside Are no longer concerned with a Nutter called t have recently retired from Active Mili tary and my benefits eroded. This latest is Cyl another step in a list which is getting longer each year of benefits which i served 20 years to obtain. My question is Why did i slay in i my Peers in age Many of whom arc earning two or three times what i am Sim ply through longevity with a corporation 1 fed \ completed my contract in Good Faith while the government is reneging on their part. I stayed in to obtain certain benefits among them the i Bill for education Al benefits and Access to military Hospi Lali Alion when required. Now i find that these two benefits Are gone or almost so. Lessons of . Asia involvement the american ambassador to Cambodia sent a letter to the former Premier Juil is he and All americans were about to be evacuated from Cambodia offering the Premier Asylum in the United slates. The Premier responded dear excellency and Friend i thank you very sincerely for your letter and for your offer to transport me towards Freedom. I cannot alas leave in such a cowardly fashion. A.1 for you and in particular. Your great country i never believed for a moment that you would have this sentiment of abandoning a people which has chosen Liberty. You have refused us your Protection and we can do nothing about it. You leave and my wish is thai you and your country will find happiness under this Iky. Bul Mark in Well that if t shall die Here on this spot and in the country that i love it ii too and because we arc All born and must die one Day. I have Only committed this mistake of believing he was among the first of two million to be executed under the communist govern ment in the words of Farmer president Woodraw Wilson a patriotic american is never so proud of a Flag under which he lives As when it comes to mean to others As Well As to himself a Symbol of Hope and it is vital that each and every american learn the right lessons from our defeat in Southeast Asia so that we never fail again in a just cause. Cpl. Michael j. Hindriks Heilbronn Germany � base libraries librarians praised your recent overseas libraries tailored to the readers was such an interesting article three librarians charged with the responsibility of providing the Community with print and non print needs and to read of their opposing views and questions about video. As a Patron i have a problem a i \ that medium myself and could t agree More fully with John Hill. In is a part of Ameri can culture. 1 was in the Lindsey a Library recently and an acquaintance a teacher in Wiesbaden was checking out some Shakespeare ploys for her own Chil Dren on video. I mentioned this to several people. What a marvelous education these keeping in shape i would like la know Why we the .a. Give to everyone around the world things such As food housing and clothing when we Don t even give our soldiers things to keep them Active and in shape sure we have a gym and a weight room la lift in bul what about a gym like a Nau Tilus spas Sauna Baths indoor running track skating rinks Lull aboard Parks and ice hockey courts pfc. Scott Mclorie Kirch goers Germany children arc being offered by the Library As it always has and being taken up by a Parent. The base librarians Are charged with an enormous task somewhat unappreciated i fear i for one think they do a Fine Job.

Turuta West unit dirt a Germany at this stage my advice to a Yanc on Active duty who is contemplating re enlisting is for get in if you do slay in in won t be for the benefits you can get when you retire because there won t be any Illi readily apparent that the upper Echelon does t care about you As they Are making retention less and less attractive every Day now i read where retirement pay May be Cui. All this because a commission completed a report on ways to reduce the National debt. I would like to a commission on ways the government could Honor its contracts.
