Wish I were with you all again

Comments: The last few weeks I have been moved several times to tears for mixed reasons: First: Pride of seeing my old 3 ID performing in Iraq, rekindling memories of days long ago when I was proudly wearing your Blue and White Patch and blue "fouragere".How I wished I could have been there too participating in one of the most astonishing and historical battles of all time.Something that has never been done before,and perhaps never will be equaled or trumped. Scondly:Seeing by seeing all these"anti" madmen doing their outmost efforts by giving comfort to the enemy by offering straws of hope to cling to. Finaly,I was also deeply ashamed by the antics of my own little country:(b)elgium, now toadying up to our historical enemies:(f)rance and (g)ermany and trying to thwart American plans.America that liberated us twice from the "BOCHE" in WW I and WW II and saved our people from starvation after the conflicts. A slogan popped in my mind for some of your congress men ,performers and media mind benders:"Ask not what I am doing against my country ,but ask what can I suck out of it"I hope and pray that you will soon be relieved and return your hero's back to their families at home. ---------------end message---------------------- After seeing the cartoon of Mr.Rumsfelt skating on a couple tanks another one came to mind:(I Hope you have a cartoonist on board?) Panel 1:Draw a General(Franks)behind desk A messenger bringing a note:Caption: Sir! we lost track of the 7th Cav 3ID they are off the radar screen Sir! Panel 2:Draw a Humvee,3 ID 7 Cav Banner on antenna,2 GI's manning 50 cal machine gun 3 ID patches on helmet and shoulders.Pointing gun at KIM IL SUNG;Petrified,Hair standing up.buck teeth etc.( optional) dust cloud long line of receeding armor.Caption underneat. "@#%^*!" Man ! this ain't Sadam! - Jeez I guess we just went to fast.This would be a good one for the Stars & Stripes or your div Paper. I can not draw well but come up with some good situation ideas. Sincerely Ed DE BRUYCKER.

Looking for John Nicholson

Comments: I’m searching on the www for my dad's dad. He served in the Army Quartermaster School around 1952 to 1953 in Lenggries/Germany at the Prinz Heinrich Kaserne.

His name was John Nicolson or Nicholson. He was an Officer in the cooking department.

He met my grandma at this time and they had a nice time together. But then in 1953 he had to go to Korea. And my grandma had never contact with him again. Maybe he never knew, that he has a son.

Now I want to ask you, do you know something about Qartermaster School. Or how can I find soldiers from this Quartermaster School Assoiation ?Is there a Veteran meeting somewhere ?

Can I find a list on the internet from Quartermaster School soldiers for this time period ?

I would appreciate any information you might have regarding my search.

Thank you very much

Grandaughter, Stephanie
