European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 21, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday april 21, 1990 the stars and stripes a a a Page 11 letters Ann Landers Veteran protests Arlington burial of 2 Viets in a a Vietnam Veteran and in a writing in response to a recent article about the seven american soldiers and two vietnamese buried in a group grave at Arlington. I personally think probably along with other Vietnam vets that that was another slap in the face for us a the Vietnam vets the pow mias and our Brothers who died in Vietnam. I think it is bad enough to Bury vietnamese in Arlington but to Bury them in the same grave As our men is a disgrace. I spent a year in Vietnam. As far As in a concerned you  turn your Back on any of them because they could act like your Friend during the Day and then try and kill you at night. We still have better than 2,000 pow mias in Vietnam and our government will not go get them. Why who knows i for one would Volunteer in a heartbeat to go Back and try to get them if our government would go because i feel i left something there americans. Another question Isnit Arlington National cemetery supposed to be for the american Soldier a staff sgt.

Christine Ober Arsel West Germany British Man reminded of his Days with a amps when i visited Berchtesgaden last year 1 purchased a copy of the stars and stripes and this brought Back memories to me. The reason being Back in 1942 i worked in the Belfast Telegraph Northern Ireland and we used to print it the stars and stripes there. I believe it was the first place it was printed in the United kingdom. I used to take the proofs so the editor could see them before they were printed. The editor of the stars and stripes then was a Guy named Carl Larsen and he was a very Friendly person. 1 have enclosed a copy of an old photo of myself As i was then it has faded somewhat Over the years. I am standing beside the very first Shell fired by the . Forces in Europe when they landed in Southern Ireland in 1942. It was a Dummy Shell. I am curious to know what happened to it.
