Magolan Wiesbaden Germany a Irr volunteers say they also serve in we read an article in the stars stripes a inactive reservists report to army air Force for Active  it was a very interesting article but we among other individual ready reservist volunteers already stationed in saudi Arabia As part of operation desert storm Are curious As to Why we have not been acknowledged approximately 210 of us departed fort Benning ga., on Jan. 17 and arrived in country on Jan. 19. We were not recalled nor ordered Back to Active duty. Most of us called usar Porcen . Army personnel cent Erst. Louis Toad asked if we could do our part for our country. We willingly left our families friends and our jobs and came to saudi Arabia to help defend a cause and what we think is right. We came from All walks of life. We Are like family does anyone care about recognizing the Irr volunteers please do not misunderstand we did not Volunteer for the publicity or parades a we came Here to do a Job but we feel that the Irr volunteers that Are now serving in operation desert storm deserve the same recognition As any other Soldier.

If that person who wrote to stars and stripes does not have an answer yet and would like to talk to me maybe lean help him her. Of course it would have to be after duty hours thursdays 4-5 . So As not to interfere with my regular duties during the Day. I did no to Start the service because i love work but because we in ramp a recruitment and placement Are so Busy by the Way ramp is army wide Are constantly under a deluge of work and undermanned during the Day that we unknowingly sometimes tend to employ a triage system in attending to the most pressing matters at hand and less pressing As time goes by. ,.
