Oberammergau Germany. Mom and Dad had left us with a baby sitter as they went to their square dancing class. They came back home soon, with mom crying uncontrollably. Dad was a Green Beret stationed there. He had to go on base and was there (or somewhere) for a few days after.
Needless to say, a hundred miles south of the Fulda gap, things were tense. That was one of two times when we pulled the K-rations and suitcases out in case of evacuation. We didn't know when (or if) we'd see Dad again.
