FSB Vets Group Chairman's Report

Chairman's Report

Remember Independence Day, July 4, 1776 ?

From Chairman David R. Wallace

Dear members of FSBVG, and others reading this report,

Recognition for service being first in priority, I have to thank

Bruce Ford, for a job well done in the last years,

as elected secretary and still Webmaster.

Some of you know me, or of me, from the old days in ASA Berlin. Berlin taught me a lot, as I hope it did you all, no

matter what function you did, or what service, American or otherwise.

I'm now a 100% disabled vet. I think the Cold War got

me, or it could have been all those exciting nights in

Berlin at the Home Bar, Al Molino's, Frank's Pig Pen,

Speak Easy, Hof Brau House, What Cheer or Greune Woche. Others were the lucky ones to have their family there.

We fought a heck of a long Cold War, not publicized much,

but we know full well it was rough. We gained a lot and lost a lot. To me, even with the friendship and partying, we suffered like no others. In fact, I'm doing a resolution before Congress to make our Berlin Patch be recognized as a Combat patch, to be worn on the right shoulder, as it should be! That is my goal.

We must stick together and work as a team. Let's organize

ourselves into something big. We now have the choice to

let the World know about our jobs and lives there, without

giving up any of the few remaining guarded secrets.

You all can write me at drwallace@knology.net.

Fill me in as to what you would like to see happen

on our web pages and within the group.

I take all suggestions under consideration.

Never forget the sacrifices you made. Now spread the

word about us. Members, please participate as you can. All interested are invited to join us.

Your Friend,

Dave Wallace,
