| 8th Evacuation Hospital | |||||||||||||

| I arrived at Zweibruecken, Germany, Classification & Assignment (C&A) as a rifleman after completing basic at Ft. Dix N.J. Because I had already graduated from college and had completed some graduate work at Boston University in Social Work, I was assigned to the 8th Evacuation Hospital at the Landstuhl Army Regional Medical Center. After being on post for several weeks I was given TDY to the 320th General Hospital on post and served as a medic and psychiatric social work technician with the NP unit there commanded by Lt. Col Stephen Mourat. In Jan 1955, my parent unit, the 8th Evac, was reassigned to Bad Kreuznach outside of Mainz to run the 120th Station Hospital. There I served in the same capacity working under Capt. De La Torre, the hospital psychiatrist. I had participated in the first NATO maneuver in Europe in October 1954, Operation Westwind, when our allies had troops out all over the continent. It was an exciting exercise. Just prior to that I attended the 7th Army NCO Academy in Munich. I found that to be one of the most memorable times in my life. The instructors were top caliber and some of them were college professors called back from the reserve. Many of them had served in WW2 and were able to impart to us the wisdom of those involved in real combat rounding out the classes on tactics. I have practiced law in Los Angles for 47 years and can say that I never regretted a day spent with the 7th Army in Europe or the men I served with. Just ran across the web site after meeting a former Special Forces member who is now a lawyer in L.A.and we exchanged stories. When I told him about my chance meeting of an airborne trooper in a Munich bar stationed with a unit that jumped over the Bavarian Alps in ther early 1950s he knew of the unit since it was a predecessor to the Green Berets. He called my attention to your web site. I found it to be informative and educational. Excellent for research in the field onf military history. You have included material that really resonates with me. Thanks you for your supreme effort.
