Gawd that looks like fun. We had a carnival like that last year, but apparently all we get this year are the games and food booths. Apparently they didn't want to shell out the money, presumably because the guys aren't here. Oh well, I'm still going to check it out tomorrow.

Looks like fun. They had a really lightweight version of your festival here; I'm planning to journey to one of the bigger bases to sample their's before they're all over.
Cheers!

Brings back a lot of memories. My Dad was assigned to Ramstein from 1975 - 1978 while I was in the 4th-6th grades, so we experienced the Bicentennial at Ramstein.

I spend every Fourth at Fort Lee since I've moved to Virginia. I'll have more photos up tonight or tomorrow with this year's celebration. Last year's photos had tons of flags and soldiers in formation.
I imagine more than a few of these men and women are in Iraq today.
Words are inadequate thanks.

Former Ramstein SP here,
Nothing like this was going on during 82-84, except for Flugtag. (German word for "Terrorist Recon Day).
Looks like it was a fun day. And a safe one. That's a good thing!
Happy 4th!

That sure doesn't look like the Ramstein I remember from the 1950's -- 1953 to 1956 to be exact. K-town still had bombed out buildings and most Germans were riding bicycles and public transit. Our biggest worry was Russian warplanes flying into German airspace to make landings into an easterly wind to make landings at their airbase in East Germany.
Just the name brings fond memories. Sometimes I dream I am still there.
