Dear Ann Landers i agree with lava of old glory re Garding the disrespectful uses of our flags As bedspreads Wall hangings and curtains.

Page 11 letters Safe says anti terror Security tight at open houses Siace i have been in Germany i be been informed about the Security that is up 10 each and every one of us and required to help ensure  from terrorist at tacks i have read articles explaining the need for 100 percent id checks at the gales the articles on terrorism and listened to the news on an on ways to combat terrorism. We Are told to be aware of our surround Ings and notify the police if we Sec anyone suspicious hanging around. Of course All of this has made me aware of the dangers but not to the Point of hid ing behind closed doors. I do practice All the rules of Security like checking around my car Locking All doors and not opening my door to strangers. Here is where the problem surfaces. I read in the stars and stripes How the Ger Man government has announced that terrorist attacks Are up 35 percent in Germany for i9bs. Then in your next Issue you list he base open houses schedules going on in Germany for 19r6.  can we be so foolish Aslo open our. Taw during threatening limes. If i were the head of a terrorist group 1 would nol risk being caught trying to ram the Gates with a car loaded with int nor would i try to enter a base Over fences. Instead 1 would Itcek inc lists of open houses you published and Wail for you to invite us in. I am not a terrorist but a wife and Mother who is concerned with the safely of our children and our husbands 1 Don t under stand How we can protect our base All year Long and then open our Gates and publish this fact Well in Advance. If we feel a need Loda this to promote Friendship with our Host countries then we should find other Means. Why take the Chance the lives of our loved ones Are not Worth risking just to promote belter com Sunlly relations. Diana a Volpe Ramsten a Germany sailors set the record straight we re sailors who Are stationed aboard the  America we arc the baby kill ers and warmongers who snuck up on that shining Beacon of world peace and stability Libya and for  apparent reason other than being american imperialistic pigs slaughtered those poor helpless people and their poultry. Give us a break. Nobody involved in the strike wanted to do what we did but the european Community gave us  Choice. The president begged them to help us with economic sanctions but the thought of losing khad Afy s millions seemed More important than their Peoples live. The europeans say they arc afraid that if they Don t let Mac mar do what he wants he May bring the War and it is a War into their own Back  this sounds pathetically like the same thing they told Hitler in the 30s. Even some College students in the . Are saying they re embarrassed to be americans All we can say to them is we re As embarrassed As you arc that you re americans. We re sick of being oat Here busting butt 16 hours a Day seven Days a week thou Sands of Miles away from our loved ones defending these students1 very right to go to College while these pimple-faced1, 18-year-. Old  loads bad Mouth us and the presi Dent. Maybe when they grow up they la find that there Are bad Guys in the world that the cons from Miami vice and a cold Case of Beer just won t make go away. One Guy wrote in a National Magazine saying that the strike was of political and was used to help enforce America s position in the Middle East. He said America s inter ests will always outweigh the lives of in  what he failed to say was Ameri Ca s number one interest is was and will always be Freedom. Any True american would fight to his death rather than have his Freedom denied him by some two bit dictator like khad Afy we owe it to our fathers who fought before us to Stop this danger to our Liberty and any american who would give concessions to this Man or cower before his evil might As Well move to France. .vq-2 det America Stephen Schick for Ken Moss Ronald Singer a Contd Ferguson .

Taylor mail rated important to morale it is with mounting unease and alarm that i notice the total disregard that Many units Are giving to the subject of mail while in the Field or on Border duty. Have always Felt that mail receiving and sending of u of the utmost importance to both Young and career soldiers. We have Many Days that  malt is received due to unavailable vehicles or Complete Lack of in Terest. 1 have not written Datea and times Down because i have  wish logo to the in or any other higher official. I Only wish that this letter will perhaps change the attitude of some of our upward mobility oriented officers and cos toward things that really count and not if they make the next rank. Now that Cramm Rudman is starting to Lake effect we need to took at ourselves and Sec if we arc the problem with the mounting morale Factor. Did we a every thing possible to make inc slay of our future leaders rewarding you who arc in command perhaps need to think about Why Young soldiers Are unhappy and Why these Little things mean so much to Little people. Next Lime a Soldier asks if mall came in will he be told Don t worry about it again i am not picking on my present unit or my last unit in particular but each were guilty in their own Way of nol looking at things that count i am proud of my unit and not afraid to give my name and address.
