Dear friends of the 75th Inf Div !

Since yesterday afternoon german time, I am sitting in my office with two Tv-sets running at the same time to monitor CNN and german TV-Stations. Doesn´t matter to where you switch, you only see horrible pictures. Doesn´t matter how often you see it, you are unable to believe it.

First thing I did was calling to the States to hear if my uncle and his family, who is living there, is o.k.

At the same time, calls of my employees were coming in to tell me to put the TV on. Even a friend and security expert from Israel called me and we both were stunned.

Last night, I put the american flag in front of my house on half mast.

This evening, I went to our local church, which held a special mass. It was packed with people, more than on christmas eve. We prayed for the victims of these terrorist attacks.

It is hard for me to explain in english, what we all felt, but please accept our deep condolences.

I cannot do very much from here, but if you want to share your feelings with the other friends of the 75th Div, please send me an email. I will try spread the messages out as fast as I can.
