    I was stationed at Budingen from ’85-’87 3/12 Cav. Love it, loved Germany. I went back in 2005 and visited some friends in Germany and stopped by the Kasern, talked with some GI’s there and they told me they were closing in a couple yrs. That sucked but I will always remember “Swingin Budingen”. Sad to hear all the old stomping grounds over there are closed. Best pizza anywhere at Rusticana’s, if I got that right and anyone remember the name of that restaurant up on top of that hill heading toward the castle, damn that was good grub.

      My husband was stationed at Hanau from January 87 to December 1989. I worked at the Health Clinic in Buedingen. I made the appointments for the spouses and chapperoned for the Doctors and the Chief Warrant officers at the cllinic on the Kasern. I loved the Chinese restaurant in town. It was great. It is sad to hear how many Kaserns have closed since we left. Germany was the greatest place and we did lots of traveling.

    I spent almost 4 years there from 1987-1991. The guys that I served with were great. Being in the ADA we spent alot of time in the field and always seemed to have a blast. Kept in touch with a few but it has been a while since I have talked to any of the guys from there.

    Buedingen was one of the absolute best.I am from a small town near there and was there in 1980-1982 and 1986-1988.
    I went back in 2006 and watched them close all of it downover the next 2 years to include Hanau in 2008…..it was so sad I cried everytime I looked at it.Germany is not the same without those places.Feels like ur past just got shut down…..
