U.S. Nike/HAWK Site in Germany: Schoenborn

My name is Jerrold D. Myers. I was an SP5 stationed at A Bttry, 5th Battalion, 6th Artillery. I was there from August 1966 until an auto accident on April 3, 1969. The accident resulted in my becoming a paraplegic. I have been confined to a wheelchair since. The accident occurred right near the barracks by the main gate. I am interested in anyone who might have been stationed at the site around this time and would like to contact them or have them contact me. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide. Please contact me if you get this e-mail and let me know how I might be able to get in contact with others that were stationed there.

"I helped transform this sight into an IHAWK installation as part of C 3/59 ADA in 1981-1982. It brings back some memories! 16 Deltas, as was stenciled on the bunker door, were the missile crewman MOS16D. Thanks, Henry Hampton"
