Our Only newspaper in a recent letter in the stars and stripes a Soldier deployed to operation desert storm from fort Campbell Kyi said he was a sick and tired of Reading about All the problems the families in Europe Are having a he wanted More news about the families  the stars arid stripes is the . Military a Only newspaper in Europe and it deals with the unique situations we face. Our spouses deployed leaving us in a foreign country with a language Barrier a falling Exchange rate and due to the acute threat of terrorism the necessity of concertina wire barriers at the Exchange arid commissary and armed soldiers on our school buses and  Are Many newspapers in the states dealing with military family hardships. Even we Are saturated with the television coverage of it. Barbara Bush went to fort Campbell personally to see How the families there were doing. President Bush visited air Force and Marine spouses and a the today show has reported on military families continuously since the operation started. No one has been Here to see How we re coping. We re not complaining though. Our support system Here is terrific. However we have Only one newspaper and we Salute the stars and stripes for supporting us. Staff sgt.

A Karen Bartel a Beverly Mitchell a Renee Jourdon a Joyce pass. Augsburg German question of privilege now that the War is Over we can turn our attention from the momentous events of the time to topics of lesser Gravity. And in that spirit i turn myself Only partly in jest to an Issue of Gross injustice in military communities that i feel All right thinking readers should unite against preferential parking for spouses of High ranking military officers a Ai do not disagree with rank having privileges but there Are two kinds of privileges functional and derisive. The first Are those that support the Mission or help the military work better and Are therefore properly established privileges. For example i have no objection to generals and admirals haying Well decorated or even elegant offices. Visitors form a More favourable impression and Are thus More confident of the person and the military. Further genteel aesthetic and Well chosen surroundings tend to encourage decisions of similar Quality Quot Quot on the other hand though Are those privileges created for the sole purpose of reminding the lesser ranking of their inferiority and unworthiness a privileges created to mock people and to rub their noses in dirt. And in this latter category Falls preferred parking for spouses of the High ranking because whether by regulation or custom parking spaces designated Quot colonel and  Quot general officer flae offi car a and the like at Public facilities shopping centers clubs Etc Are apparently intended for use by the families of colonels generals and admirals As Welt the maps confirmed this for me. And i vigorously object i am not a big fan of preferential parking for anybody in any organization a again unless it serves some function. And i am entirely opposed to it for colonels and generals spouses who apparently seem to feel that the respect and deference people show to the High ranking who have earned it should be extended As Well to the spouses who have not. A Michael Corum Wiesbaden German thanks for their help on March 8, i was travelling on autobahn 6 toward Germer Shim when my car just simply died. After managing to navigate several lanes of traffic without engine Power i found myself on the Side of the Road hoping for assistance. Several american motorists honked waved arid proceeded on their merry Little Way. The German police stopped and informed me that my car must be moved they unfortunately had no suggestions As to How this should be accomplished. Finally salvation arrived in the form of two soldiers from the 512th Maint co., 1st sgt. Weber and staff sgt. Wright. A. Y y. A a these gentleman identified and corrected the mechanical problem. I would like to extend my appreciation for their kindness and Rny sincere Hope that others will take them As an example. A Tracy l.

Its too bad that we have Only the stars and stripes to provide news and entertainment in the printed form. If there was a competitor we might see some real improvements.

You la Pardon my ignorance Golf Wise i think it s a major Miracle they re Able to put the Ball into the Hole half the time anyway but it seems to me that or. Azinger was unfairly disqualified. Quot the reason i think this is that i am not aware of any Golf Ruie that allows the a instant replay to be. Used. In this Case it Wasny to even an instant replay As it seems this a watchful viewer Quot nailed him the next morning.
