Hi I was at McPheeters Barracks frpm 67 - 69 We were assigned to B Battery 6th bn 517 Arty (Hawk) We had our own site not far from the Barracks. Had a great time in Germany. I remember the taxis outside the main gate waiting to take us to town to the guest houses. Does anyone remember Sgt Philbeck,

Gaither put my movie on YouTube and if you have not watched it you should. If you were there in the late '60's like I was it's fun to watch. Hope you can comment on it also. Deitz did a great job and I thank him very much. ==================================================... Fred I added a link for your video and some other 14th 11th ACR related videos.

John Hathcock 14th ACR How Btry 1965-1966

Thanks Gaither for the accolades, but you done the work I just made sure you never lost hope in your brilliant idea that surely became a reality last June. I am glad we all made it happen the entire group that begged for donations, planned the dedication, designed the plaque,the whole bit. I will never understand the 14th Associations refusal to support it. I look forward to again visiting the memorial. ==================================================... John I will never forget the Association's words: "I don't really have any interest in such a memorial as there is already one for the regiment at the former Downs Barracks. I can easily see your interest in pursuing the project, but it is not an Association matter. Suivez Moi, Max Whipps Secretary 14th Cav Assn" ** CLICK on the above WWW to see the monument in Fulda that he was speaking of .... ==================================================... I made a DVD of our 2009 Monument Dedication and a 'Cold War' DVD "The Line In The Sand" 1966-1968 with some 3rd Squadron history. If you would like a copy of the DVD please advise via gdeitz@charter.net (Wilmington, NC)

Thanks again ........ Deitz 14th ACR Hq 1966 -1968

John Hathcock 14th ACR 23/08/09 22:56:10 I was with Gaither and his wife Shelia at the Border re-union this past June when the memorial was dedicated. Everyone has to understand had he not pushed this idea the memorial plaque would not have ever happened. He was met with so much resistance that I was appalled, even the 14th Armoured Cav. Assoc. refused to support the effort. They finally formed a committee to help. I will give atta boys to Bill Wray, Hans Duerr, and Everett Tracey for good job. ================================================ 26/8/2009 If I may add Sgt. Hathcock a 'Retired MSG Special Forces' it was because of your strong support I did not give up. I will never forget your full support along with the support of Retired Col. Hans Duerr, LTC Bill Wray and Lt. Everett Tracey. Thanks again, SP/4 Gaither Deitz

Hello to every one, I served with the 14th Armd Cav headquarters. I was a jeep mechanic. I walked the streets of Hersfeld.I didn't drink so I took in the town and surrounding mountain side. June 1962 to June 1964. I remember Col Wells, Maj GROW, Captain Gallager and Sgt Kuhn. I have a bunch of memories to get me through life. Thank you 3rd Recon Sqdn 14th ACR XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 12 July The Deitz: Sir this is something we had in common "I walked the streets of Hersfeld." Click on the above WWW

I arrived in Bad Hersfeld in Mar of 1967 and was there until Jun of 1969. I lived in the same barracks where Gaither Deitz did. I never met Gaither (wish I did), but I wish I could hear from some of the other guys I was with. I drove a M577 that was parked by the main gate. I hope someone will sign the guestbook that knows me. I saw James Street was signed in, I remember you Jim. I love this website. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1 July 2010 by Deitz: Fred per Jack Holt (US) we kept HQ 19 our Commo 577A1 at the Commo shop. I’m sure we crossed paths several times. I attribute my bad memory to a concussion I obtained in Graf (Jack was there in the fight). I don’t know why but some of the Hq Commo guys I'm in touch don’t talk about their Hersfeld time. Great memories for me, Gaither XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I’m in the process of putting all 14th Headquarters GI's under one listing. Some photos were posted without the troops info. If you have photos listed and don’t see your Troop listed send me an email at gdeitz@charter.net Thanks in advance, GHD ..Great 8mm movie of you Fred - click on the above WWW

Lucien Cox 2/3d ACR F Troop 1965-1967

I served with F Troop, 2nd Sqdn, 3d ACR 1965-1967. Sometime during 1966-1967 Troops of the 3d ACR were attached to the 14th ACR on a rotating basis for border duty. One duty tour I remember was at Point India overlooking East Germany and the town of Ifta. Gaither has been gracious to post a few pictures of Point India from that time frame. There were no improvements at all to Point India and the base camp seemed to be in the small nearby town of Luederbach. The base camp was housed in what looked like a small 2 story hotel type building and the jeep/truck maintenance facilities were across the street on local private property in a garage or barn type structure. I would like to hear from anyone who was there in the mid sixties or later and remembers Luederbach or Point India. I can be reached at Lucien.K.Cox@gmail.com. Being in the Cav holds a special bond and respect no matter what Regiment we were with. We are all brothers with a special background. Thank you Gaither for letting me post comments to your site. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Lucien thanks for your post and replying to my email. Gaither 1 July 2010
