I was feeling very dejected and missing the thoughtfulness my husband has always bestowed upon me showing his love on Valentine s Day. My husband is serving our country in operation desert storm and was unable to add his Persona touch to such a special Day. I bit Valentines Day became. A Happy Day for me after All. The caring people from the Darmstadt military Community added the personal touch for my husband. I was Given a Beautiful red Rose with a card attached that read a your Soldier loves you and so do we a i truly cannot find the words to express How deeply this gesture of earing and compassion reached into my heart. A simple thank you is so very inadequate. Not Only was my Day brightened but i also had a valuable lesson reinforced that i have forgotten to practice during the hardships we Veall faced. The lesson being if we will All show kindness and sincere concern for one another our lives will surely be richly enhanced. We do not have to make gestures on a grand scale to let others know How much they Are cared for and loved. A simple Rose will do. A Amelia Barefiel Darmstadt Germany stripes Price criticized congratulations it Isnit every Day that a paper like the stars and stripes can upstage the . Postal service not once not twice but three times in one Day. You upped your Price three Days before the uses you upped your Price 20 cents while the poor uses had to Settle on a 4-Ccnt increase for the first ounces you upped your Price 40 percent while the poor uses had to  a 16 percent increase. In a sure you can think of 25 to 35 Good reasons Well reasons anyway for this Price increase but As one who has just seen the Active duty Serviceman get a 4.1 percent pay increase retirees get a cola adjustment of 5 percent and an official inflation rate of 6 percent which hit us All i find it  for anyone or any organization to justify a 40 percent Price increase. Why not a More reasonable 20 percent which would have been another 5 cents for the daily paper a George s. Hallmark or. Naples italian supports i according to polls 81 percent of the germans support the fight of Allied forces against Iraq being one of. Them i deeply resent those pacifist demonstrators who advocate that the robber be allowed to get away with his crime and who therefore attempted to Stop his pursuers.

A what a defeatist attitude a absurd impish decadent Hasni to life taught these Day dreamers that it is better to be a Hammer than an Anvil a Karlheinz Wiebe Koblenz German stories hard la follow i have some comments concerning your article format. In be noticed that with extreme frequency front Page articles Are so broken up that it is almost impossible to follow the primary line of thought. For example in a recent edition the secondary headline states a Bush says . Is fighting a just War a a. The first three paragraphs Tell us about president Bush a comments. But then the subject is changed to the Oil spill a one sentence paragraph. What does this have to do with president Bush a comments As if that Wasny to enough you immediately go to another totally different subject that has nothing to do with the presidents comments and Tell us about aircraft losses. This goes for three one sentence paragraphs. But then you have to add to All of this and Tell us about the . This time you used four paragraphs and two of them had two sentences each. Finally after All of this you go Back to the original theme of the headline a president Bush a comments a for the next five Par. I found a total of eight paragraphs or 12 sentences that directly related to the headlines. There were six other non related a a articles placed under these headlines that had nothing to do with your headlines of a Bush says . Is fighting a just  this is absolutely ridiculous. It is too Muth to ask for continuity in a newspaper article if you still must Bunch seven different stories together under one head line try separating them under a Small bold Type print possibly the size of the a from wire reports As shown at the beginning of this specific headline article. Then you can keep each train of thought to Gether instead of bouncing All around the whole newspaper. A tech. Sgt. Wayne f.

For the most part those who protest have never known what oppression Means and Are much too Young to realize what will happen when a dictator is not stopped in his tracks. They lived All their lives in a a a free society and Are taking this Freedom for granted. We know better a we were Young adults before 1945. We shall never forget How America kept this country free and Safe for More than 40 years. We Are Ever so grateful for what America and this Means you today has done and continues to do for our country. Now you Are helping to free another country so they can determine their own destiny.

The map makes it a Little More inviting to browse through and maybe see what the forecast is for today or tomorrow. Its great. However Over the past 18 years that i have been Reading the stars and stripes off and on it has been very noticeable to me that you hardly report the specific temperature for a City or cities in the state of West Virginia. 1 would say you report these temperatures Well under 10 percent of the time obviously the Only City that exists in West Virginia is Charleston and since you already report for the other Charleston a Good 95 percent plus of the time there is no sense in confusing people with two Charleston. 1 could almost agree with you in one sense except that you normally report on five cities in Ohio on a regular basis Toledo Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati and Youngstown. A similar Point can be. Made with Pennsylvania which is also Well represented with a number of reported City temperatures Harrisburg Philadelphia Pittsburgh. Youngstown and Cleveland Are close enough to occasionally drop one of them. Cleveland and Toledo Are close enough to occasionally drop one of them. Harrisburg and Philadelphia Are practically on top of each other and temperature variations Are negligible. Come on Guys give us break. I like  the weather bad. Not just in Esery major City in Ohio.
