Government and the military about islam and its beliefs. We face prejudice from our so called a a comrades who Are dumbfounded that1 islam has so Many followers a yes even within the military. 1 have personally faced tremendous obstacles within my own unit because of their Lack of knowledge. What a so bad is the . Government and military have no desire to learn. The funny part is that iraqi pos were treated better for their beliefs than we muslims Here in the military. We re fighting with you not against a you �., a a a a. A a x finally islam is the fastest growing religion in the United states if not the world. A i came to the Middle East because 1 Felt that Saddam i Hussein a a actions were against Allah. And so in the name Allah twill stand against Alt transgressors who claim to be islamic but act otherwise. The . Re Sofis for fighting though Are for economics  for Freedom. If the United states cares about worldwide Freedom and democracy Why did no to we Aid the people of South Africa against their apartheid government and who will free Palestine from Israel a a v -.

Understanding history the author of a paying for the past allowed his own hostilities and racially biased attitudes to Cloud the real issues of a recognition of Black sacrifices  it is however important to know a All americans Black White Brown etc., must read and become better educated about the problems sacrifices and achievements of Blacks and other minorities of coir a a major Barrier for growth can be conservatism which is generally due to a Lack of knowledge and a thorough understanding of the problems confronted by most Blacks and other minorities. Lack of sacrifice and a Raissez Faire attitude prevents most White americans from developing a True understanding of injustice and wrongs. One last Point if indeed you Are paying for the Adverse effects of affirmative action i suggest you see your social actions officer today. I am positive he or she will be anxious to assist you. A a. M. Campbell Hahn a Germany a c. A a a an american Soldier when i returned from the civil War and world War i i was a coloured american Soldier. When i returned from world War ii and Korea i was a negro american Soldier. A when i returned from Vietnam the rumble in the Jungle was a Black american Soldier. When i returned from the Gulf War the dance in the Sandi was an african american Soldier. I wonder How Many wars i will have to return from before i become an american Soldier a Leonard Young Karlsruhe Germany Highway to hello in one of your earlier papers a reporter wrote an article about tagline Road also known As a the Highway to hell a in saudi Arabia. The article depicted a potholed cracked and utterly dangerous Road. Yes the Road is dangerous but that is due to the Drivers behind the steering wheels of the vehicles and the volume of traffic along this Road. Two of our soldiers were killed in separate instances on this Road while trying to repair it or accomplish other missions. I resent the Way this Road was depicted. A lot of time sweat and tears were put into this Road to try to make it safer for travel. Potholes were filled shoulders were added and a lot of debris was cleaned up. A in closing we did the Best we could with what we had. A private 1st class Matthew i. Tart _ operation desert storm Salute to the military dear soldiers and family members of the Wiesbaden a military Community ill be Back in America by the time Yon read this but i  leave without saying a few words. As an education Counselor at Wiesbaden a i feel privileged to have worked with some of americans finest. In be been amazed at the determination and steadfastness you have displayed in reaching for your education goals. My friends and family who have never been affiliated with the military have asked me through the years what impressions in be had of the soldiers. I have told them every time that our country is in great hands if the service members who walked through my door Are any indication of course since the Gulf War the rest of America knows this to be True. Because i did t get to Tell All of you goodbye i would like to say in a proud of you and wish you incredible Success in reaching your educational and career goals. If you Ever get stationed near Aberdeen proving ground md., drop by the education Center and say hello. A Dori Lawton Wiesbaden a Germany _ parking a Small item the Man whose letter was. Headed Quot question of privilege probably does not have a wife or he would not have made the closing remark about spouses not earning the respect and deference that people show their High ranking husband or wife. I am not a general a wife or a colonels wife. My husband is an e-4 and i am very proud of him. No matter what rank a Soldier happens to be military spouses generally have More important things to concern themselves with other than who get letters to the editor what parking space. I think its time that military spouses Are recognized for what they must endure in order to support their Soldier. We must meet head on Many challenges that would earn anyone a respect. Sometimes we get these challenges one at a time and sometimes we get two or three at once. We must go through pregnancy alone sometimes even childbirth. We Mist go where and when we Are directed to a new state or country where we Start from scratch to build our lives. 1 if the Soldier goes first during a move we must raise children alone keep the Bills paid and vehicle repaired and running make moving arrangements and usually hold a full time Job along with All of the above. We must hold the family together during Long separations. We must spend months sometimes years away from family and friends. The list could go on and on. A a a a a. If officers wives have been assigned parking spaces Fine. No matter what the rank is we spouses Are All very proud of our Soldier. We go through the things we Are faced with because we love them and arc proud of what they stand for. A mrs. Sharon Staton. Hanau Germany pen pals i Welcome Alt pen pais.
