Was stationed in Germany 1979-1982 (Hahn AFB USAFE). Lived on the "economy" in Kastellaun, FRG(Hunsruk). I have visited Germany several time since then and really miss my time with the Germans. The Germans took pretty good care of us. We learned German from the locals, visited places the locals advised. When the Bader Meinhoff(sp) gang was active, my neighbor and landlord took my car off the street, gave me his car to drive with real German plates to keep us safe, the Hahn O Club was bombed by the same gang.
While I never met a German who fought the Americans ,always the Russians.
They did support us in Germany. The Germans were always aware of the the events in the USA. We subscribed to Time magazine but only got the Central Europe news. Stars and Stripes covered Europe only, we never got much news about CONUS US. We learned that Pres. Reagen was shot from the Germans. Aside from phone calls home, our German neighbors were the best at giving us news on the "home front".
It is not suprising that the Germans are building the floats we see on this site.
It would be great if all of America could see these floats. The main stream media would never report these floats. I'd like to get this to FOX news and see what they do with it.
I'd still love to get these floats to the US for parades here!!!
