I arrived in Berlin on August 7th, 1961, 5 days before the border around Berlin was closed off. I was stationed with U.S. Army helicopter unit, Tempelhof, for 2 years. 57 people died tryin go get to freedom during those 2 years. Lots of photos from helicopeter. On October 6th 1962 I asked a young German girl to dance. That dance lasted 51 years before God took her hom. Good memories. I'm now 86 years old.
