Landstuhl’s Dustoff troops deploy one last time
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz
LANDSTUHL, Germany – Soldiers from Company C, 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, embraced their families and friends before getting on the bus to deploy.
A detachment from the helicopter medical evacuation unit, led by Capt. Michael Chase, will spend the next few months in Kuwait, supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
During the April 28 departure ceremony, Preslee Kautzmann, a toddler, played with a plush bear dressed in gray Army camouflage like the uniform her father, Chief Warrant Officer Colter Kautzmann, wears when piloting a Black Hawk helicopter. Her mom, Sara Kautzmann, maintained a smile during the ceremony. It was afterward, in the parking lot where families waved to the busload of troops, that emotions surfaced.
“This is deployment number one for us,” Sara Kautzmann said. “It didn’t hit us until we saw him get on the bus and drive away. That’s when it kind of hits you, ‘He’s leaving.’”
When the national anthem played, Justine Aubrey and her three daughters covered their hearts. Raised in an Army family, Aubrey first saw her husband, Sgt. Daniel Bateson, deploy to Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division. Now, he’s leaving for a shorter tour in Kuwait.
“Going through it as a child is completely different dynamic,” Aubrey said. “I have a new found appreciation for what my mom went through.”
Activities offered by U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz’s directorate of Families, Morale Welfare and Recreation help families of deployed Soldiers, Aubrey said. Her daughters recently took part in a spring break camp and are looking forward to summer camps.
“MWR always has amazing opportunities that we’re afforded. I think they even more important overseas because we are so far away from our loved ones,” Aubrey said. “It’s great when you are trying to cope with not having your other parent here. It’s a wonderful, healthy outlet for them.”
Single Soldiers, like Sgt. Charles Milazzo, 27, a crew chief from Denver, have other concerns. When he last deployed, to Afghanistan, a friend fed beer to his cactus.
“The plant is still around. We’ve passed it around the barracks,” Milazzo said. “One of my friends is watching the cactus while I go back out there.”
It’s likely Company C’s last deployment from Landstuhl, as the unit is slated to move to Grafenwöhr in the coming year, said the company commander, Maj. Jesse Delgado.
Army medical evacuation helicopters have flown from the hilltop behind Landstuhl since 1952, Delgado said. Company C’s lineage dates back to 1968 in Vietnam. In 1989, the unit moved to Landstuhl as the 236th Medical Company (Air Ambulance), deploying to Southwest Asia for Operation Desert Storm and Bosnia for Operation Joint Endeavor. They also supported disaster relief operations in Europe. In 2004 and in 2007, the unit served in Iraq. The 236th furled its colors and the unit became Company C, 1-214th Aviation Regiment. Two years ago the unit’s Soldiers deployed to Afghanistan.
“In the European theater, and this side of the world, this unit has been in every major operation,” Delgado said. “This is the culminating event.”

When the national anthem played, Justine Aubrey and her three daughters covered their hearts. Raised in an Army family, Aubrey first saw her husband, Sgt. Daniel Bateson, deploy to Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division. Now, he’s leaving for a shorter tour in Kuwait.
“Going through it as a child is completely different dynamic,” Aubrey said. “I have a new found appreciation for what my mom went through.”
Activities offered by U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz’s directorate of Families, Morale Welfare and Recreation help families of deployed Soldiers, Aubrey said. Her daughters recently took part in a spring break camp and are looking forward to summer camps.
“MWR always has amazing opportunities that we’re afforded. I think they even more important overseas because we are so far away from our loved ones,” Aubrey said. “It’s great when you are trying to cope with not having your other parent here. It’s a wonderful, healthy outlet for them.”
Single Soldiers, like Sgt. Charles Milazzo, 27, a crew chief from Denver, have other concerns. When he last deployed, to Afghanistan, a friend fed beer to his cactus.
“The plant is still around. We’ve passed it around the barracks,” Milazzo said. “One of my friends is watching the cactus while I go back out there.”
It’s likely Company C’s last deployment from Landstuhl, as the unit is slated to move to Grafenwöhr in the coming year, said the company commander, Maj. Jesse Delgado.
Army medical evacuation helicopters have flown from the hilltop behind Landstuhl since 1952, Delgado said. Company C’s lineage dates back to 1968 in Vietnam. In 1989, the unit moved to Landstuhl as the 236th Medical Company (Air Ambulance), deploying to Southwest Asia for Operation Desert Storm and Bosnia for Operation Joint Endeavor. They also supported disaster relief operations in Europe. In 2004 and in 2007, the unit served in Iraq. The 236th furled its colors and the unit became Company C, 1-214th Aviation Regiment. Two years ago the unit’s Soldiers deployed to Afghanistan.
“In the European theater, and this side of the world, this unit has been in every major operation,” Delgado said. “This is the culminating event.”

Landstuhl’s Dustoff troops deploy one last time
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz
LANDSTUHL, Germany – Soldiers from Company C, 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, embraced their families and friends before getting on the bus to deploy.
A detachment from the helicopter medical evacuation unit, led by Capt. Michael Chase, will spend the next few months in Kuwait, supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
During the April 28 departure ceremony, Preslee Kautzmann, a toddler, played with a plush bear dressed in gray Army camouflage like the uniform her father, Chief Warrant Officer Colter Kautzmann, wears when piloting a Black Hawk helicopter. Her mom, Sara Kautzmann, maintained a smile during the ceremony. It was afterward, in the parking lot where families waved to the busload of troops, that emotions surfaced.

In a rush this Teddy Bear Tuesday... more details shortly.
Edit after midnight (had to get my Teddy Bear Tuesday photo up on Tuesday first, can always be excited about bears later):
I was having a hard time finding an ideal pose and lighting to bring out the fun colors of the mohair on this Cuzzy Kant bear, but I think Cuzzy looks alright "on the run" here!
The line for a name on this bear's hang tag actually reads "Dream Catcher" above the line and "Cuzzy Kant" below the line. I'll call him "Cuzzy" for short.
Cuzzy's designer, Sally Winey, is a bit of a legend to many teddy bear collectors. Ty Inc mass-produced a few of her designs in the early 90s. and rumors persist that she also had a hand in iconic Beanie Baby designs (as I recall, she has denied most of the rumors, but I am having trouble finding a source to quickly verify that). While there's no date on this bear's tags, I believe all of my Winey Bears were made after she parted ways with Ty. Some of them were manufactured in smaller runs, but I believe Cuzzy was one that she handmade herself. In more recent years, Sally Winey has become one of the most recommended specialists in repairing and restoring stuffed animals: wineybearsrepair.com/
I remember reading about Sally Winey online in the '90's, but as I recall I didn't even see any of her bears in person myself until the early 2000's. I remember purchasing the first plush bear of hers I saw after years of only reading about her designs online. Many years later, my Cuzzy was a lucky auction find in Edison, New Jersey in September of 2017 (some of my LEGO friends likely recall that one weird year that BrickFair shared a venue with Bodnar's Auction and I ended up attending both)
12 more photos of Cuzzy Kant are currently available to subscribers to my Patreon. I think I should go back and try some more poses...Cuzzy's fur seems a little matted from being stored instead of on display (Cuzzy had been on display at my house before I moved back to Harrisburg, where I'm still opening sealed boxes marked by room), and brushing Cuzzy's fur might make it "pop" a bit more...

Meet Captain Squat. Why is he called that? Because he's a mad monster and he's just short and squat. Don't piss him off, or you'll never see the end of it! But on the flip side, he's really soft and cuddly, and would love to be your backpack companion!
Captain Squat is hand sewn, made from striped fleece, and felt. He stands 4" tall and is 6" wide.
Captain Squat is safe for children of all ages.
NOTE: Captain Squat is made in a smoke-free environment, but pet-friendly, and is kept in a hair-free ziploc bag until shipping.
*** All monsters come with a custom made label with the Curious Little Bird shop name for authenticity!
Gert will scare you so silly with her black fur and cute little smile. Don't be fooled by the lack of arms! She is one heck of a monster! Gert is a cute monster who tries to be scary because of her lack of arms. But don't let that stop you from loving her! She's made with nothing but love and you'll really love her vintage belly button too!
Gert is hand sewn, has a felt face, with a sweet little pearly vintage button for a navel. She's made with fake fur and filled with polyester fibrefill. She stands 10" high and is 5" wide.
She isn't really suitable for children as her navel could come off. Choking hazard.
NOTE: She is made in a smoke-free environment, but pet-friendly. She's kept in a hair-free ziploc bag until shipping!

In the Simpson's Love Day was a Summer holiday made up by Mr. Costington when he wanted to increase Summer sales due to a lack of summer holidays. The holiday was put together to scam people into buying Love-themed toys and gifts for no reason whatsoever. The scam turned out to be a success. Homer was dissapointed to be gifted the wrong lord hugington plush bear, Bart was sceptical about Marges 'kiss and make me boogie' jack o lantern. They family try to cram the leftover crappy toys in the bin leading into the main story of the episode.
I recently made a similar bear as a custom order for one of my favorite customers and I enjoyed so much making that type of embroidery that I decided to make a new one in this beautiful sea foam/mint felt color.
What I like the most in doing what I do is paring colors together and I really got inspired by the color combos I chose for the two sides of this little plush pillow.
The embroidery style itself was inspired by a research I made with my son on tribal motifs found on totem poles and other artifacts.
I did not make a sketch at all for the design, I just picked the different color thread I wanted to use and started to "free form" embroider each side.
This little plush bear pillow is all hand sewn and made with much love and attention to details.
It measures 11" wide by 7.5" high.
Here is a large and fun plush bear, features soft fur, big nose and unique sleeping design. Stuffed with 3d hollow PP cotton, and made of high-grade sculptured velvet, this big nose bear touches ultra soft and comfortable. With high level detail and workmanship, this 47inch long plush bear comes in three colors. This plush big nose bear makes a very soft and comfortable back cushion, and also a fun and cuddly birthday gift for your loved one or friends.

Levi is a jeans monster. Careful, because if you leave your jeans sitting around too long all dirty, he'll just materialize from the pile and start a rampage in your bedroom! Levi is also the perfect companion who will fit in your pocket, purse or backpack, and would love to join you i your adventures.
Levi is hand sewn, made from cotton jeans, buttons and felt. He stands 5" tall and is 3" wide.
Levi is not safe for young children, because his button eyes could come off, and are a choking hazard.
NOTE: Levi is made in a smoke-free environment, but pet-friendly, and is kept in a hair-free ziploc bag until shipping.
