News for the Ramstein, Kaiserslautern, Landstuhl & Baumholder military communities in Germany 
In a small corner of the world, there is a school that resides in the poorest country in Europe — the Republic of Moldova. This particular school is a special needs school that accommodates students from the ages of kindergarten through high school. In Chisinau, Moldova, more than 150 students, who are to some degree deaf or blind, learn how to become active and functional members of society.
I often reflect on what a great privilege it is to serve for a military service composed of people from all the corners of the Earth fighting together for a common purpose: world peace.

On Jan. 18, 786th Civil Engineer Squadron Airmen said “Auf Wiedersehen” to one of their most dedicated local national employees, Franz Pfaffenrath.
It’s 2 a.m. and darkness looms over the base. Offices are deserted and the streets are quiet, but out on the runway a single light cart glows, cutting through the thick fog and mist.
