Although that Date marked the end of our part in this particular Effort it heralded the beginning of a closer relationship Between germans americans and russians. It is impossible to measure the full Impact of lit i on the lives of everyone involved. Providing people in need with necessary goods was Only one Benefit. C Hildren helping children families reaching out to others civilians military germans americans and russians All working Side by Side will have a even greater effect. One thing we do know Success of the project was dependent on the participation of All who helped. Because of people like you the scope far exceeded our expectations Jet Iii was truly an example of what can be accomplished when we work together with a common goal. As noted by col. Jim Murphy one of the project leaders Quot when people work together they become friends and when they become friends there is we would like to thank you for working with us for helping to establish friendships Between people in our three countries and for playing a crucial role in creating greater understanding and peace among germans americans and Lynn Champagne and list Iii committee members Ramstein Germany but some sponsors of 1 would like to address the sponsorship program which i understand is available to All Scricc members and their families. We recently arrived in Europe and throughout the in processing i met Many other new arrivals. The stories 1 heard from them regarding poor sponsorship were startling a for example sponsors were never assigned or the sponsor never showed up or to Roppel them at billeting never to be seen again i find it difficult to understand Why a program so promoted can be so poorly implemented and maintained. Fortunately we were blessed with exceptional sponsors. They were at the Airport set billeting reservations helped with the House Huni and look us through in processing. They went out of their Way by keeping our pets and feeding and treating us like we were family. Many Many thanks to the powells a sgt. Maj. Robert and Margaret Duran Kaiserslautern Germany Blacks slighted i m not a racist and i Don t complain about much. Hut during a conversation with a Friend about desert storm we got on the subject of All the books being printed and that not one of them a picture of a Black Soldier on the front. I iian t really noticed it but while in the Bookstore 1 looked Over some of the books and it dawned on me that my Riend was right. There was not one Black Soldier on the cover of these books. I guess you know by now that i m a desert storm pc Iran and i gave my All just like the rest of my fellow Black soldiers male and female. Are we Good enough to fight hut not Good enough for the cover of a Bonk a sgt.

Slop blaming each other As a Black person i listen to the news about Blacks in l.a., new York Atlanta and other cities. Then i listen to people from other countries talk about the Blacks w Hites poor and Rich. Yes we have has internal problems like All countries. Americans should remember there Are evil people in this world who make Good people suffer no matter what race they arc. We have to remember that it took Good hard working people of All races to make our nation what it is today. People from other countries think that this is America As a whole. Americans have to Stop pointing at and blaming each other because the More we do this the hotter the problem gels. Remember a gentle answer to our problems quieten anger but a harsh one stirs it up Lester Torrence Karlsruhe Grin and Kin beaten like a dog Soldier wrote on May 28 that Rodney g. King a got what he even if King was High and out of control should he have been beaten like a dog How dangerous could he have been handcuffed and face Down on the ground 1 he writer also stated lie was proud of the judicial system and that the jurors Del a fair Job after hearing the evidence lie said that we can to let the video make up our minds. 1 guess he did no to know the jury was almost All White and that before the trial started they had their verdict. If King had been White and Tho officers Black the officers would have Tost i heir jobs and been put in jail a Fredrick ii. Samuels Holder Germany in a Tiv country at fault in response to Quot ashamed to be White May Ishow can the writer be ashamed to be White was he one of the jurors in the King trial was he one of the cops that took part in the beating i know ill never be ashamed of my race or nationality no matter what actions others May take. It seems As if the writer is taking some of the blame of the jury just because he is the same color. I do agree with some of the writers views on americans Justice system but i done to think they deserve All the blame. What about the Media did no to they play a major role in sparking some of the violence in los Angeles i mean would the Public have reacted the same if they had t seen Hie video what about those killed during the riots these people will get nothing More than a few sentences during a news broadcast or a couple of lines in the obituary column of their local newspaper. I did no to Sec any riots started Over their deaths. The writer is missing half of the picture. During the riots Many other beatings were taped. They showed Blacks and hispanics beating Whites koreans and other races. The one thing these people had in common was they were All american. Maybe that a what the writer is ashamed of being an american. Lets not put the blame on one race when the entire country is at fault. We All h ave to work together to put an end to this problem. A airman Jon l. Hoagboon Torr Jon a Spain Book recommended during my More than 39 years in Public education As a teacher administrator and Central staff officer i have had the Opportunity to review and recommend numerous texts for classroom adoption and select some for my own professional Library. I recently purchased and reviewed a Book titled words for a modern age compiled by John Robertson. This Book is fascinating and interesting Reading particularly for anyone who is interested in the English language. It is organized to identify greek and latin elements As they relate to thousands of English words. The latin and greek elements arc arranged alphabetically a a in thematic units and the 14 appendixes include hundreds of phobias divination various methods of Fortun telling of Mora ple Onasis redundancies and latin phrases used in spoken and written English. I can to think of a better High school graduation present or a gift for the College bound student because words for a modern age can contribute a great Deal to ones knowledge As a resource Book for improving foreign language and English vocabulary skills for any future vocation especially in the scientific and technical areas. This Book is a Fine addition for anyone who wishes to improve communication skills and or is interested in adding an excellent reference Book to a personal or John dal Santo Wiesbaden Germany Don t Road it in response to Quot no place for Joe Bob May 24i happen to get a chuckle trom his columns. Okay maybe the column does no to have any redeeming social value. But i feel like for example the Alt m the family sitcom if you find it Otten Sive a change the Reginald m. Clark Stuttgart Germany
