A support units hailed i Felt it was about time someone spoke up for the combat support units of operation desert storm who Are serving in the rear. I speak specifically., for the logistic units quartermaster ordnance transportation. I hear a lot of people say that if you were not up front then you weren to really involved in anything. Who do you think were the people who  Convoy support centers you passed through my unit works one of those centers providing fuel maintenance ramp a sleep and even Wolfburg cars and cold soda. We also provide other comforts and necessities that Are soon missed after time in the Field. Most troops we see really appreciate what we do but there Are still Many who treat us As if we done to deserve to be associated with them. That Sok we keep giving them service with a smile. I have spent Many a moment re establishing someone a morale by reminding them that the fuel they Are pumping or the repair part they Are issuing make it possible for the customer to Complete an important Mission have you Ever seen a news report of the president or a general visiting 37 Convoy support Center Csc in the rear or an a amps fuel or Bath Point you probably never will either. When you re talking morale its the Little things that count. When a Soldier is told he or she wont get something As Basic and essential As a uniform because a troop a up North Quot needs a new one to go Home in i can to really blame them Tor feeling slighted. 1 want it to be known that i done to discount anything the combat units have done. My husband is Armor and my father was a glider jockey at Normandy. I will always appreciate and support the troops up front but its time some appreciation was shown for those people who work 24 hours a Day seven Days a week to make sure the a Isles Are fun cled and the soldiers Are fed and rested. Isnit this supposed to be the a one army team Quot 7  capt. Karen w. Toy operation desert storm division Between services this is in. Response to the letter a fight together eat apart a this problem is not As uncommon As you think. When i went on leave in the states a few years Back i went to the local . Air Force base. Since i was in the . Army and not the air Force i was Given a base pass so 1 could use the by that sex in army jargon. So done to think that this is uncommon. The air Force does it to the army in Many places be it Mcchord fab Wash. Offutt fab neb. Or saudi Arabia. A spec. David m. Davis Niernberg Germany done to spoil the Victory just for the record i am a retired Vietnam vet and was in the Mekong Delta. I have six saudis under my Belt. Alter Reading several issues of letters to the editor in be just got to speak up and say something. Come on gang its starting to look like a boxing ring out there except this ring has More Corners than the Pentagon. Everyone has a Point to make a i  a i did no to go but wanted  a they stayed  Quot we stayed Back and guarded Quot Quot we came Over from the states and Are ready to  Quot in a re tired and in a angry because they did no to Call me  what really gets me is that to shirt that says a i was there. Where were you Quot. What i have to say is shut up and go to sleep. If you keep squabbling Over the glory that we All have achieved you arc going to ruin the pleasure for yourselves. Believe me we All did our part. Yes we All. Even if you had fallen during the War and nobody loved you you can bet that the vow would have been there. A.

Mike and nid Gerritson at Span Dahlen a. Make knows his mom is a frustrated Jet jockey so this morning he took me out. To the runway to watch the f-16s and f-4gs take off. Now those pilots know an appreciative audience when they Sec one. For the better part of an hour they gave me the Best private air show anyone could have asked for. 1 will never View the of butt fab air show with quite the same enthusiasm views before. You did. Yourself proud in desert storm but also this morning. Thanks for both. 7 there is no place on Earth that i would rather have been for that hour unless it was a Aback seat with the 52nd tactical fighter Wing. Thanks Guys. A Loy Gerritson Plattsmouth neb. Abortion rights exist i just finished Reading the stars and stripes Story about the department of defense proposing to overturn its policy barring abortions in military facilities overseas. A i believe this action is Long overdue. Women have to face too Many challenges in life As it is without having actions taken in their personal lives dictated by the Federal government. In a tired of hearing anti abortionists use their moralistic rhetoric to prevent women from exercising their rights guaranteed them by the Constitution. What about a woman s right to privacy How dare the Federal government Tell me or any other woman what we can and cannot do with our own bodies. The decision to have an abortion is letters to the editor not an easy one to make but the fact of the matter is that its a woman Succi Sion. She has the responsibility of raising any child she brings into this world. Her life will no doubt be altered drastically and she and Only she can deter mine if this is a sacrifice she is willing to make 7 .7. / 7 7 As far As women in the military Are concerned Why  these women arid military spouses be allowed the same rights As american women living and working in the states women soldiers did no to Stop being soldiers when it came time to fight the persian Gulf War so it is very unclear to me Why an american woman a rights should go unprotected because she a stationed overseas. A Olivia Mcrae Harrell Frankfurt Germany aids affects everyone several questions have been raised about homosexuals in the military and also about aids in the ranks. There is something everyone needs to realize homosexuals Are everywhere. There Aregay accountants lawyers and doctors. If i was in need of medical attention and the Only person available was a doctor who was , then i would depend on that doctor. Likewise if the Only people available to fight and defend our country were homosexuals then regardless of sexual orientation that person has a right. Its not a persons lifestyle that matters. Its their ability to do the Job. To take that away from them is Dis Crimaria Tion on the basis of sex. Also several issues have come up about aids whenever aids is mentioned the first thing said is that a the she must have been  aids is. Not a Gay plague. Aids strikes every. One. 1 a. Research today shows that aids among heterosexuals is on the Rise. One in 10 people know someone w to has aids. This disease is everywhere. There Are More diseases than aids in this world a cancer leukaemia air Heimers just to name a few. So instead of fighting All the a fags with aids Quot Why done to we join together and fight the diseases not each other. A Kimberly Carroll Arriott Kaiserslautern Germany. Brady. Bill no solution emotions arc High and apparently sentiment is Strong for the Brady Bill. Unfortunately it cannot deliver what Sarah Brady and handgun control inc. Sci Promise. Why because it does not solve an existing problem. Once again we the Law abiding citizens Are being asked to shoulder another Law. Supporters of the Brady Bill often ask the question a How can any Law abiding citizen object. A there in the question lies the answer. Law abiding citizens Are not the problem. Those who operate outside existing Laws Are our problem. Who will obey a new Law Law abiding citizens of course. Justice department studies continue to show that the majority of criminals get their weapons on the Black Market or steal them. Society can ill afford the billions of dollars and thousands of Man hours required to Check out Law abiding citizens All this so Sarah Brady and Sci can boast a Well we tried  giving two aspirins to a terminally ill patient is doing something a but something very futile.
