During W.W.II, Germany was destroyed.
Following the end of the war the people of Germany had no leadership, no law or order, and there were many displaced persons. The country was in desperate need of help. The United States Constabulary along with the 1st Infantry Division formed the deterrent to Communism in Germany and Austria.
These were our first "Cold War Warriors". These soldiers performed many of the functions that the German and Austrian governments could not perform.
The United States Constabulary was phased out in December 1952 having accomplished its mission. It had been truly one of the elite forces of the U. S. Army and lived up to its motto,
"Mobility, Vigilance, Justice".
Felix Flores served in this capacity.

"Rejoice O young man
in thy youth...."
*Ecclesiasles
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
Douglas MacArthur
“I am a soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.”
General George Patton
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Invictus?
