We all agreed that we wouldn't get any recognition for being there under REAL guns and at intensely high risk from authentic soldiers in a modern army equipped with atom bombs ~ being a "trip wire" is tough duty, but somebody's got to do it, and I know what I did even if it doesn't matter to anyone else on Earth.

Thank you for your service! I was stationed in Germany twice. I too know what I did, and don't care if anyone else recognizes it.
Thanks again!
