Only In Germany
So on our way back from our northern Germany Island vacation, on the train headed for Luxembourg; a long seven hour trip, I noticed a young German soldier in his army fatigues heading back to base, German paratrooper unit wearing the paratrooper logo and the same maroon beret I had worn in the 82nd Airborne Division during my Vietnam days 30 years earlier.
