Cherry<br>Just do what you did. Write your message and if someone wants to reply to your message they will. I'm doing that right now. If you have a story to...
I'll grant you that when my ex-frau used "Ami" to refer to my friends and I, it was not in a negative sense. However, it CAN be used in that context! My wife ...
I got this in my e-mail today. I thought it was cute. I hope no one gets offended by it. <br><br>The Pentagon once did a study on why so many American ...
Funny how words change over time. I think it's a fair bet that when WW II veterans like my Dad used "Kraut" it was definitely not a polite term. By the time I...
I agree with you 100%. <br><br>Sure, your personal experiences have a lot to do with how you express yourself or conceive things. I made up my mind early on ...
My husband never cared for the White Horse. He preferred the NCO clubs or the Holiday Bar across from the Outpost. When we were last stationed in Berlin 82-85...
When did you first go to the Whitehorse? I remember it from 64 to 67. During this time German guys our age copied the Hippies with long hair. The grunts in...

It was a great place with lots of Rock & Roll<br>on the stage. A good old fasioned Bar Brawl could break out at any minute to add to enjoyment of the evenings...
Sawarri, it looks like that the best lineraten can do for an apology is to slur some other groups equally. It shames me, I have to apologize for the ugly...
No need to apologize. Some people are set in their ways and there is nothing you can do about it. He reminds me of my brother-in-law. He was a likeable person ...
I apologize too. My husband and I both have been researching our ancestory and both of us have German ancestors. I knew my grandmother had German ancestors ...
Again, no need to apologize. All I said was that I did not like the name calling when I was a teenager and I still don't. <br><br>JFK is still a great school...
Don't try to include me with the racial issues<br>in your family. Go back to what I said. I used the word "Kraut" as a soldier in Berlin. Your trying to make...
What are you saying? I offended you? I wasn't even talking to you. Your family heritage had nothing to do with my message. Go back, and read it again. In short...
Man, you all must have had a lot of time to "party". We did our share but what I remember most is the quality and quanity of work that we did..Yes, sewing up a...
During my tour in Berlin the White Horse bar was a favorite watering hole for us grunts stationed at McNair The first year I was there the "Horse" as we called...
Does anyone remember going to the Naafi Club(don't know if I spelled it right,or not)a British<br>Service Club?<br>Frequented it a few times in '67,prices were...
They used to have bands there in the 60s.<br><br>You sure made me hungry listing all that good food. The commissary here sells the German style hot dogs. We...
lineraten,<br>A hero? No that was not my intent at all. My apology was sincere and was meant to convey a message to any German reading it. That superior ...
The NAAFI was great! All in one shopping and entertainment facilities...learned to play snooker there...How about the French Club for sunday lunch? Full 7...
NAAFI Club and STEPHANIE"S those are two names that are "blast from the past", we used to slip up to the British sector for a different bit of entertainment. I...
Sorry but I have to side with lineraten. He didn't use it as a slur to offend anyone. I think everyone is making too much of a stink about this. SAWARRI just...
It's funny that you should mention that. My step-dad is in his late 60's, and was in the Air Force for some time. He was never stationed in Germany but ...
Sorry I said anything. I use to belong to a military spouse e-mail group and it seemed like everytime anybody brought up religon or racial slurs they ended up ...
You can appreciate "Almost Heaven" even if you're not native born. I was born in Berlin and always felt out of place in school, when other brats would list ...
