Apo to the Rescue we Are a British civilian family and live far from where our son is based in Germany with the British army. He deployed to the persian Gulf in late december and we were posed with a dilemma once the air War started. How could we mail our parcels and letters a a a a a. There were no civilian flights to that Region so the German Bunde Spost was. Out. We had no Access to Fpo British forces Post office facilities or British Stamps and did no to know How we were going to Bridge the Gap. This is where the Apo at Gie Belstadt army Airfield stepped in. We Are enormously grateful that thanks to their kindness and willingness to help two parcels full of things our son desperately needed arrived a somewhere in the saudi desert intact and Well received. This is a big thank you to the mail clerks who handled our letters and parcels to our Brit Soldier son even though they did no to have a clue what Fpo or of Granby meant we have read of Many complaints of slow mail to and from the Gulf but Here at least is one family that is grateful that the mail got through at All. In this Case late was definitely better than Nevera.  a. A. A a a a a a a a a a a a. Our son has since returned Home and 1 we Are More than Happy to close this particular chapter in our lives but not without expressing our thanks to those who helped us in our time of need. A Anne and Dave Hudson Gie Belstadt German satisfied with Delta you published a letter recently that condemned Delta airlines the airmen who signed the letter contended that Delta was a a troubled airline and unpatriotic. It seems that because the airline had not extended its 70 percent off military fare to its International routes a where it would apply to these people a they thought the offer was just a gimmick. Well those airmen seem to have caught the a do it for me first disease. They ignore the fact that the offer May be helping soldiers returning from the Middle East reunite with their families sooner. They also ignore the fact that Delta is one of the a big three . Airlines and is financially sound. Their red White and Blue jets crisscross the skies of at least three continents on a route system that continues to grow. Their service is impeccable first class for All. I am not now nor have i Ever been a Delta employee. My Only connection to the airline is Many Miles of satisfied service and a shared Hometown. A maj. John f. Douglas. Kaiserslautern Germany wedding proposal in your recent sunday stripes feature Quot the warriors Art a about the Graffiti mural left by service members passing through Rhein main Aben route to the Middle East there was a reference made to someone painting a wedding proposal. A that wedding proposal was written to me by 1st it. Frank Johnson. We Are both in the 450th civil affairs co from Riverdale my. While the units Mission is to provide civil affairs support to the ,82nd airborne div part of our unit was detached to support the 3rd army Cav a cab a a a v a a a a a a therefore Johnson and i departed for saudi Arabia on different flights. Unfortunately my flight bypassed Frankfurt flying instead to Raf upper Heyford England for its Stopover. Although i never saw the message Johnson did propose to me on a rooftop at Khobiar towers. I happily and quickly accepted and the wedding will be sometime after the end of the Gulf operation. A capt. Amelia Bendersky operation desert storm remember the medics As i sit Here watching the special that is showing on an about the Welcome Home to the troops that served in desert storm i am crying. Why because my husband is serving in desert storm and has no idea when he will return to his Loving family. Through the entire War very Little was mentioned about the Hospital units that served and some that still Are serving the horrors that these people have seen is incomprehensible to someone who has not seen the devastation of War. These Are the men and women who also left their families and loved ones to do their duty by repairing those who were wounded during Battle. And let us pot forget the citizens of Kuwait who need medical attention. Please let us not forget the medical personnel that have served and Are still serving in desert storm a Szeflin Hughes Wiesbaden Germany the wrong Gulf course As thousands of innocent kurdish people flee Northern Iraq Many Barefoot and without food it was with disbelief and disgust that i observed president Bush dressed comfortably in Golf attire justifying his non interventionist policy regarding Iraq. Reports of iraqi atrocities that eclipse those committed in Kuwait did nothing to Sway the administrations hypocritical neutrality. The veil of justification for the .- led War has been lifted economic self interest propelled the United states into using devastating air and ground attacks a not the much asserted quest for democracy and Protection of human rights. A. A a the Bush administration politically opposed the shiite Muslim and kurdish insurrections because they were seen As too Radical and not in the Best interest of America. A. A a a a a a. A 1 his following the presidents vocal avocation since August for the overthrow of iraqi Leader Saddam Hussein and reputed Cia activities aimed at arming iraqi insurgents places increased responsibilities for the current state of affairs squarely on the shoulders of the Bush administration. It is too soon for americans to be ringing Bells for a Celebration of thanksgiving. George Bush must now face the reality of establishing new world orders especially in turmoil plagued areas like the Middle East. This Means assisting the people of the Region not catering to letters to the editor the Oil. Companies and excessive Consumers of the world. A pfc. Brian s. Gill Lan Stuhl German the right of free speech this is in response to a letter published april 4 that complained the stars and stripes is allowing itself to be a used As a sounding Board for those who would destroy our  ,. Our founding fathers had the foresight to produce a document that is sufficiently simple and vague to make it relevant 200 years later. Because of its simplicity and vagueness this same Constitution is subject to interpretation and alteration without resulting in the destruction of the Constitution As a whole remember prohibition it was once made a part of our Constitution and then was repealed without destroying the Constitution. I find it ironic that in response to those who hold views that in his opinion threaten the constitutional right to Bear arms the writer recommends the editors of the stars and stripes practice censorship an act that contradicts another constitutional right a that of free speech. I Trust that the stars and stripes will continue to print editorials and letters that represent a variety of viewpoints and not Only those the writer deems appropriate a allowing me. To formic Date my own opinions on the issues. I am sure that both the readers of the stars and stripes and the Constitution will be Able to withstand these  a a a a .�-.-. A a capt. Richard r.
