Douglas Byrne 14th & 11th ACR

Hello to all, and thanks for keeping this site alive. A friend gave my wife Christa the link today. I was stationed in Bad Hersfeld 14th ACR from 1958-1962 and again from 1964-1967. After a tour in Vietnam with the 11th ACR from November 1968 to November 1969 I returned to the 11th ACR in Bad Hersfeld from 1972-1975. Some of my friends at the time were Stabley, Willey Harris, Jim Apple M Troop, and Rudy Beck HQ Troop to name a few. During my last assignment I was in HQ Troop working out of a small trailer parked just inside the main gate (The Reenlistment Office). Douglas Byrne

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
