Let's see..monument topplers..
« on: October 30, 2023, 12:26:28 PM »
  As a soldier, I served in posts named after Gen  John Bell Hood, Gen Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Gen John Adams Dix...and shipped overseas from a
  small post called Camp Kilmer, named after a soldier/poet killed in  WW1..   

    I was still proud to serve and those names were as good as any they could have been named for.  In fact, the Kaserne I was stationed at in Germany was named for a Frenchman (D'Isley)..then later, the Gremans renamed it

   I didn't really care what it was called..  I did find an article , written by a GI who returned to vist there, long after the Germans closed it.

  time marches on !

  Below, i found a picture of the very barrack I lived in there..  It is pictured in nthe article as it is now, with a glass housed stairway.
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
