Been meaning to reach out to you on the occasion of my retirement from the Army (in 2012)... took me a while to find you! Anyway, the ending of one's career often causes a lot of reflection of past assignments and experiences. For Susan & I, our time at Bindlach has remained memorable, and for me, your leadership was especially so. I've always wanted to send you that message and let you know!

This is Steve Oliver. I was S1 under LTC George Rostine 1970 - 1971 and moved to S3 in 1972 with CPT. John Roseburg. My wife, Sue and I lived in Fursetz about 12 miles from post. Have you been in contact with others who served 1969 - 1972?

They are departing during that period for a multi-month tour in the Middle East. My wife and I are going out for an early Thanksgiving and send off with my wifes kin who live in Seattle. Will be last we see of her for a long time.

At 9:57pm on August 22, 2011, Lawrence Stanley Snow(DUSTY)SSG said…: Bill do you remember the E-4 Acting Sgt that was the Supply Sgt/ Unit Armor while you were the Company Commander. I got to B Troop in Jan 1970 and left in Dec 1972 as a E-5 Sgt. SSG Lawrence S. Snow Retired Army (my nickname was DUSTY).

Miller said…: Bill, The uncasing of the colors and re-dedication ceremony for the 20 fallen soldiers was a day of mixed emotions, I got there early enough to see all the Squadrons march in for the Regimental Formation. Only us us old war vetrans could really understand what we were actually seeing, first impression was the feeling of relief on their faces to be out of harms way; and the second and most lasting impression was the sadness on their faces when the fallen soldiers names were called off and the bugle played taps.

Great to hear from you. Yes, things have gone rather well for me. I have been very lucky and caught more than a few favorable breaks. Hope you and your family are thriving!

There are some quirks to this site which are mostly operator headspace errors.

My email is: esthomas3@earthlink.net. Give me a shot.

I Think I left you a note last week but haven't heard back from you. Thought I'd give it another try.

Have been exchanging emails with John Moncure. What a great ride he's had! Also been in touch with Mike Hall (F Troop). He's still a trip, had tears running down my face.

Best,
Speed T.

At 3:33am on February 14, 2011, Jack A. Miller said…: Bill, Thanks to you, Dave and Gene Beck I,am back on line. My wallet was stolen in a Gas Station in Bayreuth in early December with my passwords, which caused me immense problems. New Id's, driver's license, visa cards, the whole nine yards. Last week it was found and turned in at the new bus terminal in town. A bit late, but at least all the papers were there. Tell Betty hello from us. Jack

At 12:40pm on January 4, 2011, Dave Gettman said…: I'm going to have to convince him to start another profile because we can't send him a new password. The e-mail address he registered with is invalid, and that's the one that has to be used.

He can't change his e-mail address without logging in with his password, and he lost his password. He can't get a new password without having it sent to his registered e-mail, which is no good. It is all automated and it sucks!

At 12:17pm on January 4, 2011, Dave Gettman said…: Thanks Bill. We've got the commo lines open. Hopefully we can have him back on line soon.

Dave

At 8:52pm on January 3, 2011, Dave Gettman said…: Bill,

Can you have Top Miller e-mail me at deddygetty1@comcast.net ?

I'm not getting a response and may not be getting through.

Dave

At 1:23pm on January 3, 2011, Dave Gettman said…: That might be the problem because the e-mail he has registered doesn't have a period between Ja and Mil. I sent him another e-mail with all possible combinations. Waiting for a reply.

Dave

At 12:54pm on January 3, 2011, Dave Gettman said…: Bill,

Jack's e-mail was returned as undeliverable at Ja.Mil@t-mobile.de

At 12:00pm on January 3, 2011, Dave Gettman said…: Bill,

Robb said if Jack doesn't have the old e-mail address anymore he has to start a new profile. Since he does still have the same e-mail, he should be able to have a new password sent.

As usual, often times the simplest things on a computer can be the most daunting task!

I'll try to give Jack a holler.

Dave
