Did anyone serve when the Berlin Wall was still up? Did you ever stand a post at Checkpoint Charlie?

Yes from 1974to1978 cowboy 23 c company 266/2nd AD best gunner at grafenvier Germany 1978 have pictures but have to find them.

I was there during 1963. We were part of Operation Longthrust VI from the 1st Infantry Division of Fort Riley, Kansas. We were there on Temporary Duty. We we members of Task Force 28. We only stayed there about three months. I was assigned to Battery A, 2nd Howitzer Battalion, 33rd Artillery. We were attached to the 1st BG, 28th Infantry which was also there. I think we were the only American Field Artillery unit there at the time. We were there when John Kennedy went to West Berlin and gave his famous speech on June 26, 1963. We did go to Checkpoint Charlie once, but we did not stand post there. I think the wall had been up for about 18 months when we arrived.
