Baumholder reels from GIs' deaths

[lebkuchen]

Seven of the eight 1st Armored Division soldiers who died last week at the hands of a suicide bomber belonged to the same platoon in a Baumholder unit working overtime in Iraq.

Five of the eight soldiers killed were married, Cerrone said. Three of the five spouses were in the United States at the time of the attack.

Kim Hickman, the leader of the company’s family readiness group, said Monday that she and other wives in the unit are lending whatever support they can to the two spouses in Baumholder. Both wives, Hickman said, had been planning for a homecoming this month.

The women know “if their husbands were home, this wouldn’t have happened,” Hickman said, “but, on the other hand, this is their job. You don’t have a lot of say about it. You try to keep your head up.”

3. Oh trust me when I first contacted my congressman

I was living in military housing and my hubby was deployed

The first time there was some fear of retribution, the last time
there was fear of retribution...

I went, he is risking his life so I have the right to keep my
freedom... to hell with them! I took a stand, and have not looked
back

Now my husband is retired, and he has also joined us... in the struggle

But we all need to take a stand. The troops don't have their voices. we do... and you are nice to Gen Myers... I can think of far worst words to describe the man.

HE HAD NO IDEA that there was abuse going on? Where have I heard this before? Oh yes ... Nuremberg....

5. And had Hitler lived

he woudl have said he had no knowledge either... never mind... that he wrote Mein Kampf.

These women have been scared out of their wits. Maybe I was too stuborm or as a daugher of the Holocaust and former Red Cross Worker (No, not American btw), I knew where my obligation was. SPEAK OUT now... if we do not... nobody will speak for us when they come to pick us up.

We are the true patriots... make NO MISTAKE about it.
