Quot i done to know if she was actually having an affair but if she was she lost it All in one a in the Wake of the Glover killing people in this tight knit Community in Central Germany have become wary even scared some said of the people they work next to. 2 Ltd t even i a a a 8� out at night a said a homemaker who would t give her name. A you just Don t know what people will do Here the units much vaunted Pride also has been Hurt some regiment soldiers said. This is a regiment where its officers still Wear spurs on their boots and answer salutes with a Sharp a Blackhorse a but the regiments commander col. William s. Wallace said the unit still has its Pride. Quot the Pride of this regiment continues Undi Mirshed by recent incidents a Wallace said. A we continue to execute our draw Down Mission with the dignity that our soldiers families and this great organization deserve.�?�. Once the regiment was the first line of defense against a potential All out soviet invasion of Europe. Then the cold War ended and the so vices packed up their tanks and went Home. Now nearly three years later the regi mint is packing its tanks and going Home. More than 10,000 americans lived in the baroque German Community at the height of the cold War. Today less than 2,000 remain and that number is going to drop significantly before Christmas officials said. For example p troop Glover a unit is Down to seven people most of whom will be gone by the new year one regiment official said. T troop Schaps and Ricardo a unit has about 30 people. The last two helicopters based at the Airfield left Fulda permanently Friday three Days after Glover was killed. E ass 0vcmy soldiers arrive at the Downs Barracks Chapel in Fulda Germany to attend services Friday for spec. Gregory w. Glover. The Schap Case has galvanized the Community which was just adjusting to the Ricard murder. Questions about the Young girls death were fading and talk in the dining Halls and work centers was turning toward leaving regiment members said. Then the Community was stunned tuesday when Glover was killed. Instantly the chief topic of discussion was what happened. Rumours abounded. C a lid not know How i feel a said sgt. Kelly Graham who works in the Headquarters troop. It s almost like it did no to happen. It s Loo bizarre to f�?z5�fact that s,ay>n8 suspects came from the same troop has t escaped people of the regiment. Quot they re calling t troop terror troops now a said Maria Kamali whose husband sgt Richard Kamali is a t troop helicopter Crew chief. Quot that show Fulda is going to remember some of the people of the regiment Point to the stress of leaving the Community As a contributing Factor in the two killings. Noting Long working hours to pack equipment and facilities preparations to move household goods a Lack of Quality Osife facilities that Community members had grown used to and the ensuing boredom some of the americans in Fulda said the two crimes were inevitable. A a there a not much to do Here a said pfc. Ruben Espinal a transportation specialist who helps pack for Many of the people leaving. R a a a there a a lot of confusion about what a next. I can see where people would build up a lot of stress and anger and butt Wallace the commander said stressing the Community is not any higher than in other units in Europe that also Are drawing Down. Some soldiers agreed saying stress is not to blame for the slayings. A i done to think the stress of drawing Down is causing people to do these a one regiment officer said. These were just blips on the screen not total collapses. T think its a matter of coincidence that they happened in the midst of All the packing and moving of people the regiment also has had to turn its attention to grief counselling and stress reduction. For example regiment chaplains conduct sensing sessions and those who ask for help or who Counselor think need help have been taken care of Wallace said. With just a few months left before americans Are out of Fulda the regiment will try to get past the recent tragedies and continue moving its people. Many said they Hope the image of the Blackhorse survives. Quot a Wise Man once told me that great organizations Deal with both Success and a Gedy professionally a Wallace said.
