Nevi t user or pave Quot map tile Sochi Graf Why the free ride i was disappointed but nol Overly surprised at the article covering Steffi grafts ride in an f-16 at Ramstein a Germany. It astounds me that the air Force is so Cavalier about giving rides to any Quot celebrity they choose even those not associated with the air Force in any Way or even american. I know a lot of people working in my husbands Squadron on the entire base for that matter who would love such an Opportunity. I also know most of the wives in my Squadron who sat Home watched their husbands go off to War would also love the Chance to take such a flight. But of course that wont happen. Although the contributions of airmen cos officers yes even wives might seem Small compared to the Many great contributions Steffi Graf has made to the air Force 1 feel we should take care 6f our own before we Start doling out flights to anyone who plays game of Tennis. It angers me that people who support our military during War peace done to have the same opportunities As Hollywood stars singers athletes. A Terry Stone Pitburg a Germany obscene phone Call even though the army has provided standards of living made easy for single soldiers occupying government Harracks the duties of the staff duty no have not diminished for some. On several occasions female cos have been harassed by male soldiers or a male person making obscene phone Calls from 11 . Until after 1 . These Calls include words of offensive sexual nature name calling beyond belief. I even experienced one caller who knew me by name. This was disturbing. 1 reported the ease to the lbs the very same night but to no Avail. There was nothing they could do or so i was told by the desk sergeant. If i have to leave my Job at 4 . To baby sit grown children All night 1 done to expect this Type of behaviour. The worst part about it is i can to do anything about it except to wait Loi the next Call. This is not Only against the Law but also very disturbing upsetting to the individual being harassed if we have to continue there is no if about it because we have to continue1 feel the army has a responsibility to i t a halt to this Type of off Psi a behaviour. It would lie a lot different if they had to pull duty at their own Harracks stay up All Day night As we have to then be tormented on the Telephone. With the Onset of sexual Haia sment eases the spotlight it is in. I m sine the army can come up with some sort of solution to this problem or just let me go Home like the rest of the Community rest at night without the phone Calls. A sgt Patricia of Ncry Frankfurt Germany Linton a endorsement on can headline a Cost president elect Clinton stated on camera How much it meant to him that during his Campaign he received an endorsement by the stars stripes on his Promise to lift the ban on proclaimed homosexuals serving in the military. When was this endorsement made what led Clinton to believe that your endorsement reflects the View of the military Community in fact i find it Safe to say that it does not represent the majority View your endorsement is now being exploited to mislead the american Public. This Issue is not about doing what is Best for the military it is to gain political Points with an emerging politically powerful homosexual Community. A Linda Vivian Naples Italy editor s note the president elect was misinformed. We did not endorse him or anyone else. We never endorse political candidates. As we pointed out in a news Story nov 13, a weekly newsletter published in the United states for veterans did endorse Bill Clinton it is called the stars stripes National for housing this is a plea for government housing. 1 really done to understand the housing situation. They Tell you an Al through e-3 can be put on the housing list but e-4 above take priority. We All put our Battle dress uniforms on the same Way we All work the same Way so Why should we have to suffer by waiting to see our family members. From my Point of View the government is discriminating against ranks. The Al through e-3 should have priority because we make less Money. We were All brought Over Here the same Way for the same reason. To serve our government. A pfc. L. Carson Darmstadt German realtor works for seller Tell it As it is or do not Tell it at All. In your article featuring Century 21 realtors their a a deployment a to Europe to look out for the welfare of our departing soldiers you stated that the service is free As the seller pays the commission for the realtor. True but you failed to mention that because of this fact the realtor has a fiduciary responsibility to the seller not the buyer. In most cases the realtor serves the party Hack in the United states not the Soldier. Real estate is a Fine Field has some of the most competent men women working in it. But they work the Field for one reason one reason Only Money. Don t let soldiers be misled into believing that these agencies came from the Stales to look out for us. A 1st it. Jessie l. Massey Kaiserslautern then Nav stereotyping not fair this is in response to Quot flabby the first Point i would like to make is that 1 am a family member not a dependent. That term is degrading Many people Don t Ike it second i am not overweight. In a 2 weigh 120 pounds. But i feel the heed to defend my fellow family members who have been stereotyped. The writer made the comment a unfortunately from what i can see Many have Little interest in really dealing with their Well excuse me but that is a very narrow minded comment. The writer does no to know these people or anything about them. He has no idea what kind of problems they May be dealing with. The writer needs to spend More time worrying about this attitude less about the Way people look. We can never learn to live As one As Long As we continue to condemn put Down others for How they appear on the outside. Ill bet that if we All tried a Little harder to be Nice to one another assume the Best instead of the worst we could make this world a better place for everyone. A my Ricl c. Stubbins Heidelberg German Columbus Wasny to first in a writing in response to Quot what Columbus found oct. 28. The author pointed out that Columbus discovered the Western hemisphere that the education system has failed. I agree with one a the failed education system. The other charge is not All that True. Around the year . 1000, Leif Ericson landed three times in North America first in he Luland then in Markiand. His third Landing site in North America he called Vinland. The whereabouts of All three is not known however there is speculation on where they might have been. There is proof of Vikings journeying into North America. One such place is in la Anse Aux Meadows Newfoundland in Canada. There have also been North american Indian arrowheads other artefacts dating to this time found in England Greenland other european countries. Its not certain if Ericson was the original founder of these areas because the Only written sources from those times Are two icelandic sagas written in the 13th Century. One Saga said Bjarne he Julfs son sighted these lands but never landed. As for the education system in a angered by it. I Learned most of these facts from doing my own research. Very few textbooks acknowledge the Vikings journeys to North America.
