Thanks for your post. Downs Barracks, that would be our HQ 1st Sqdn once the 14th ACR. I was stationed at our 3rd Sqdn 14th ACR reflagges as the 11th ACR. Our former kaserne McPheeters Barrack in Bad Hersfeld has many uses. Their customs officer is in our former PX Building. Our former Mess Hall is now a Motorola Radio business. If you are interested I have many other related videos, just stroll through my MoxNix videos @ www.youtube.com/@moxnix/videos.

@@thenobody92_ Any bike is fine, Just make sure it’s the right size for you, I personally don’t like a single speed bike,

@@moxnix What is a single speed bike? Someone I know recommended me a Schwinn mountain bike for beginners. Do you feel that’s a good bike to start off with?

Thanks to you ...

Several: North Carolina - Harpers Ferry in West Virginia - Switzerland - Cades Cove in Tennessee - Bavaria, Germany - Chicago - Bad Hersfeld, Germany, - Virginia Creeper in Virginia

1st. 2nd or 3rd SQDN and year ?

Thanks for that Info.

Brother Combat Engineers 58th, M 88. Professionalism

Thanks for the info. My first sergeant of HHT 3/14 was 1SG Jackman, feared and respected by all. For me that was from 6, 1966 till 12, 1968.

That's a good question, By accident I found via Instagram that there's a 14th ACR active today that I never hear or read about ... Check it out and let me know your thoughts .. the link instagram.com/2ndsquadron_14thcavalry/?hl=en

​@@moxnix The 14th ACR on insta is an active unit. But my question is about the hystoric fact that on May 17, 1972, the 14th ACR was reflagged as the 11th ACR. As far as I understand, the personnel, association structure and equipment, etc. have remained the same. But then what was the reason for reflagging? Should the GDR border troops be unsettled by the call of the 11th ACR from Vietnam? Or were there changes in structure and equipment; Personnel and method of operation? Or what happened there in 1972 please?

Thanks ...

Frank this video was shot off the beach. I'm attaching a video that was taken on the island. I mainly ride there late nights. The # 1 spot on the island for me is Fort Fisher. There you can take the ferry on your bike to Southport. There you can take a ferry with your bike to Bald Head Island. #2 Spot for cycling, hiking is the Carolina Beach State Park th-cam.com/video/ueEgBl7iv3Y/w-d-xo.html ........ This is a ferry ride to Southport, then a ferry ride to Bald Head Island, we hiked back to Fort Fisher via the beach. A video of our ride, our hike th-cam.com/video/sJTIhJSn_9g/w-d-xo.html

@@moxnix I wanted to visit as bike-touring beach towns and boardwalks is my thing. (think miami to key west, atlantic city to wildwood, etc) Was going to check it out this week but think I'll stick to Virginia Beach or Wildwood nj instead.

The photo was not taken in 1989, Herr Walter of Fulda shared his photo with me in 1989. He did not share the year he took the photo. Yes the Golf Mk3 was launched in mainland Europe in August of 1991, FYI: Same but different: The date provides information about when the book was copyrighted, which might be different from when it was written or published.

Tom thanks for checking in. 1st Sqdn Fulda ...

Thanks for that Info ...

Thanks for your post.

I don't know how to do that after the video is posted. Please fill free and tell us more about the 1-1 Cav. in the comment section. I'm ok with you adding your 1-1 Cav. video link in comments.

Thanks for your question, the best way to to sum it up is by Dark Turner and the attached video “The 14th Armored Cavalry, through the use of highly mobile vehicles, extensive communications and well trained men, maintains a constant vigilance along the border that separates the Free World and Communism. The mission of the regiment is continuous surveillance of border activity, and that of an early warning system in the event of hostile aggressive action on the part of a Soviet Bloc or Satellite forces within its assigned sector of responsibility.” ............ Basically we were a speed bump if the east Germans, Russians were to invade the west. The USA was part of a NATO force on the border. This is an official Army video I edited th-cam.com/video/MWE--x3dbO4/w-d-xo.html. .... via my former TH-cam channel

Another nice thing about it, its wireless remote with multiple settings.

Smooth Sailing 🙂

I've only been on that road twice at night and both nights about the same time the train was active. Guessing they are working late to avoid vehicle traffic. A WTRY video two weeks before, same location th-cam.com/video/x-3GadO7G6g/w-d-xo.html

Correction, negative my friend, it was 1990 because that is when we stopped the border patrol. Troops remained there after 1990 but there was no border patrol, no alerts etc.. For more information watch my attached video and read what is on our monument, BTW the monument was my idea, something I indicated and with the help of many my dream came true. th-cam.com/video/IG3POboMtww/w-d-xo.html

Another video reference same: th-cam.com/video/6TFdhBbQICU/w-d-xo.html

@@moxnix yeah, I guess there's an element of where do you draw the line? In 1990 the patrols stopped but not until 1993 did the troops get withdrawn. That's amazing that you did the monument, God bless you! Are you living in Germany today or in the US? I miss it so much (I was in Fulda).

My years in Fulda were my golden years, I miss that wonderful city so much. Hopefully one day I will return.

@@kostoffj I've been back twice and the Kasern looks great. As for downtown it's not the same = too modern looking compared to how it looked in during 1966 till December 1968. then it looked much like it looked in 1944. Being your unit the 1st Sqdn 14/11 ACR was in Fulda. And my tube is about our 3rd Sqdn 14th/11th ACR in Bad Hersfeld. Maybe the 3rd Sqdn lowered our American flag and left before the 1st Sqdn left being Fulda was the main Headquarters for the 2nd and 3rd Sqdn. History states: “during the night of November 9, 1989, crowds of Germans began dismantling the Berlin Wall-a barrier that for almost 30 years. Thanks you: “That's amazing that you did the monument” Reference: “Are you living in Germany today or in the US?” I’m in southeaster NC, where are you? Like you and many other former GIs, we miss the town, the people, the guys we served with. I’ve met many lifer from Sergeants to Generals that said Bad Hersfeld was their favorite duty station. The Deitz is my former TH-cam, I created this TH-cam channel because I’m locked out of The Deitz and it’s impossible to reach a live person that works for TH-cam, everything is going AI. Don’t worry, you are talking to a live person lol !

With my GoPro connected to the ULANZI BG-3 Battery, I can record for over an hour, before I was luck to get 45 mins. After an hour the ULANZI BG-3 Battery has 3 of the 4 charging lights lit. And the Gopro battery has about 90 min left.

Aero Bars were invented in 1984 by Richard Bryne. At age 75 I've never used them and in my case I don't have a need for them.

True, a MTB can do it all ... th-cam.com/video/Zir6cm9PEDA/w-d-xo.html.

Thanks, I have a saying "In life we live, in photos we relive" same for videos. It's great hearing from or hearing stories from others that I have something in common with. I understand that some never took photos or lost the ones they had. What good is for me to have photos in a box that no one will ever see = makes no sense to me. Plus I'm able to share photos for others that don't have the means to. ..... alles gut ...
