The troupe for the USO lands in Frankfurt, Germany.
Here’s Jack Davis and Jef Mallett coming off the plane in Frankfurt.
We arrived at the Hotel Christine and settled in for a nights rest and get ready for a very busy next day.
The next morning we were welcomed by the USO’s Konrad Braun who guided our visits. He’s at left and then Bill Hinds, Jack Davis and Dave Coverly.
We were taken first to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center where we visited many troops and did our best to leave them with a smile as we had at Walter Reed Medical Center. Above is one of the surgeons.
My lunch. That is Pecan pie.
At the USO Warrior Center we all gathered and drew away! Above is Jack Davis and below is Jeff Bacon.
Above is Kyle at the Warrior Center and below is Colonel Harris who escorted us around the medical center grounds.

My only time spent outside the itinerary was following a few of the guys to a place called The Tree Bar. The three drawings above and below were down there. Below that is an interior photo of the underground spot. Unfortunately for me, no milkshakes served there.
