Wow, most of you were there long before my time. I was born in Bad Kissingen in 1982 to a German mother and a Samoan father. My mom's side of the family still lives in Schweinfurt. I also lived in a small village called Nudlingen before moving to the states when I was 12. All of these places are atleast 1,000yrs old, a lot of history and a lot of US Military history also. My father got orders for Baumholder(Straussberg Kaserne)after 3 years in the states, that would be the last area we would be stationed at in Germany. I recently looked up Straussberg Kaserne in Idar Oberstein which had been closed down since 2008-2009, brought back alot of memories.
No matter how many times I watch this video I love it more. I'll never forget my time there, I'm planning on a trip back next year. I was with HQ Troop 2/11 ACR Transportation, Did fueling of the tanks and and other equipment in the field. Real proud of my time there. 92 to 75 PFC Rogers
I was there in Hq Trp 2/14 A.C, I was in the Fuel and Lube Platoon. I served there for two years seven months and eleven days. i loved it there. I am sure glad i never had to go to Viet Nam. I was there on vacation 1989. I miss Bad Kissingen. I would'nt trade the experience of serving there for any thing. It was a very important and meaningful part of my life.
I forgot to mention I served from Oct 64 till 9 June 1967. Great times, Great fun with a good share share of some hard work and dis-appoints mixed in .
81/83 2/11 H.H T. A.C.R. I'm planning to go in January 2025 with my wife to show her how beautiful it is and was ! ❤❤❤ Grace and peace to you from GOD the father and his son JESUS CHRIST ❤❤❤
I was stationed there from 1970-1972. The draft ended and I returned home. Very pleasant memories of all the adventures, war games, red alerts and deployments. Beautiful town and great opportunities to travel. I worked in the motorpool as a mechanic. I could write a whole book about my experiences there.
thanks for posting this piece of history. i grew up in bad kissingen as a kid in the late 70s/80s. for us german kids, there was always sense of wonder when your tanks drove by (to or from the daley barracks). usually, we would wave our hands in joy, getting waves back and a smile. maybe it's interesting to know: today, in the daley barracks, there is a youth center (thus, the building in 0:36 triggers lots of my memories :) ) , a cinema and a police station. thx & have a nice day, thomas
Thomas, every time I drove my track whether leaving or coming back to the Post, I would always wave at the children while passing them by. I did the same for all of the children whenever I saw them. And, when I couldn't take my hands off of the steering controls, I would look in the direction of the kids and raise my head up and nod in order to let them know that I saw them.
Hey Thomas, I was stationed in BK from 72 to 75, I drove a truck with HQ troop and waved to all the young folks who were waving at us. Those were good times for me. I'd like to go back as see the old barracks again. You take care Thomas. Thanks for your post!!
Just to let everyone know the person in this video, Ken Hacker. passed away a few months ago. He was one of my best friends and a true patriot. I am so glad I got a chance to make this video for him, it was a honor.
I was in the 2/14 Armored Cav, stationed at Daley Barracks in BK from Jan 1970 to July 1971. Our unit did border duty in Coburg and Bad Neustadt. I personally had all my border tours in Coburg. Those were some of the best times over there. Two guys that I have very fond memories of are Art Maki and Steve Chenoweth. If by some remote possibility they (or anyone that knew them) should happen to read this, I'd love to hear from you on this site.
Me to was in H Troop remember it well, do you remember the OP burning down when one of the tank troops pulled border duty on the east/west German border?
I was an MP assigned to A-1-1, guarding the hawks up on the mountain, from '78-79. I lived off-post "on the economy", and had lots of memories there. It was a beautiful place.
I was There 1956-1958 in Tank Company 2nd Battalion, 14th Armored Cavalry Reg. Was a great experience. Had a lot of field time at Wildflecken, and Tank training school at Graphenwor. We also loaded the M48A2 tanks on rail cars and went to Belsen-Bergen (Belsen-Hohnes} for Tank Gunnery Practice. Many great times. My name is Sp5 William E Barber and I served my time. ;Merry Christmas and God Bless!!
I love this video, I keep coming back to listen to the songs and look at the pics of BK again. I also finally located the girl I loved back then. (and still do)
+Elmer Buchanan ..I remember you elmer buchanan...from N.C...!..my name is Ted Coatney....you use to give me a hard time about staying in the army...LOL....you were a heck of a good guy...hope you're doing well....
+Elmer Buchanan Yes elmer...Mo-Ar. line ..my ancestors came from N.C......we used to talk about that..from near where you were from.....yes I stayed in.....Still have my border cert from the years at B.K......
My ex husband Ed Henry was in the 2/14 at Daley Barracks 1969 to 1972. We married in September 1970 and I lived in BK with him until 1972. I only remember a few of the guys. Terry "Eli" Whitney, "Audi", Mike Wall. Wish I could remember more. It was a wonderful time in my life.
I LOVED BK...SERVED HQS 14TH ARMD CAV 60-63. CAN'T SEEM TO CONTACT ANYONE WHO WAS THERE DURING THAT PERIOD. I AM NOW 75 AND RETIRED IN CHIANGMAI, THAILAND. I VISITED BK DURING MY ASSIGNMENT AT RAF CROUGHTON, ENGLAND 72-74 AND AGAIN WHEN I WAS AT THE US EMBASSY PRAGUE 82-84.
I was in F0x troop in 1970 to 1972 in 2nd platoon. Lt. Cleland was my platoon leader. Capt. Donohue was C.O. when I left. Platoon sargeant was Brown. We patrolled the border out of wolbach and colberg. I was tank driver on Fox27. I loved driving that tank.Had a lot of fun in that track. My name Donald Smith and when left I was an E-5
I was Battalion Maintenance Clerk in 1954/1955 and I can see that the only thing that changed is that the GIs in the video were allowed longer hair. I love BK/ Happy memories. Made friends that I still correspond with.
From the 50s to now a lot of memories from different generations in the same place. I was born here, and have been looking up all the place I was as a kid. The history in all these places is very interesting, I would love to see a documentary on these places and the people who have lived there. Although, this documentary would have to be a series to do it any justice.
I was stationed here from 1965-67 with F Troop. I served as the Commo Sgt. before leaving on 5/67. I remember the cold winters and border patrol. These photos bring back many fond memories for me. Lots of great guys were here serving their nation. We were the lucky ones, who did not go to Viet Nam. Instead we were safe in Germany.

anybody remember the German National barber who worked there in 1970-71? If you got your hair cut after he "drank" his lunch it was like being tortured. I saw one dude almost punch him out when he got too rough with him. Other than him, all good memories, what a beautiful place to be stationed. I was lucky to be there while others were in Vietnam fighting that "war"
1972-1975, HQ 2/11th ACR Medic. Other medics that I remember: "Quack," "Z-Man," Rick Blair, Campbell, Gary Shaw & Dr. Hillert (Squadron Surgeon). I am the one that injected the PCN in the arse with a 16 gauge needle for the Clap..

The Name of my Dad is Thomas H. Hocking.
He went to Fort Knox Armory School.
He was in the 14th Armored Cavalry Regiment.
Stationed in Fulda, Bad Hersfeld, Bad Kissingen in the early sixties !
In the former West Germany.
I need his at least the Date of Birth.

Brad

@SantaFeLady Hi ,, I watched the vedeo and had the same reaction. I wish I cound go back. Did you know a gal by the name of Eva Sterker?
anybody remember the German National barber who worked there in 1970-71?
If you got your hair cut after he "drank" his lunch it was like being tortured. I saw one dude almost punch him out when he got too rough with him. Other than him, all good memories, what a beautiful place to be stationed.
I was lucky to be there while others were in Vietnam fighting that "war"
No but I heard about him I was there in 1976 had a room mate mention him a bunch said he was great my girlfriend done mine.
ya i do he was a prisoner of war in texas
I was in F troop 6/85-12/86

1972-1975, HQ 2/11th ACR Medic. Other medics that I remember: "Quack," "Z-Man," Rick Blair, Campbell, Gary Shaw & Dr. Hillert (Squadron Surgeon). I am the one that injected the PCN in the arse with a 16 gauge needle for the Clap..
