| Comments: | Back in 1951-53, I was an Army brat living in Erlangen. This was before they built dependent housing, so our family lived at 8 Atzelsberger Steige, west of Strawberry Hill. The neighborhood had American families scattered throughout it. This was still during the military occupation and the large cities had extensive war damage. I've always felt fortunate to have been in Germany at this time and remember it fondly. |

In C Company I was a platoon leader and later XO and then assistantAdjutant before I rotated. LTC Cullen was the CO and Major MacClellan the XO. Cpt. Sinclair was C Company Commander and later Cpt. Mitchell. 1SG Collins was the Topkick and CSM Denison was at Bn HQ. I recall the Strawberry Fest, Oktoberfest and skiing in Garmisch. Of course, I remember Graf and Hohenfels and all those Reforger exercises best of all. Great site and pictures! |

I was born in Munich Germany, a refugee after WWII, I was separated from my mother in the chaos. I ended up adopted by a 1st Lt. and his wife . I found my birth mother a couple years ago, she is 86 and still living in Munich. My Step father retired as a COL. Serving my country (I became an American Citizen) was an Honor. I had a debt to repay. I was proud to do so. Think about the fun, the people you met, the honor of participating in a democracy, not just watching from the sidelines.
