I left Asmara in 1964 after being transferred from Kagnew Station to Germany. This presentation brings back so many great experiences in the city and the country. Many of the famous buildings and roads seem unchanged. As an 18yo I had so many false ideas what Asmara and Africa would be like. I was so surprised the moment I arrived how wrong I was. Asmara was a slice of Italy and Africa in a modern city. The people were incredibly friendly and helpful. I bought a motorcycle so I could tour the country and what I found was life changing from the local religions, customs, food and history. I traveled alone and never had any problems. I was approached multiple times and invited into peoples homes and offered hospitality. When my bike broke down once a truck driver stopped and helped me load my bike and took me to a local mechanic, then invited me to meet his family. The city was safe, clean and was an incredible fusion of Eritrean and Italian foods, architecture and customs. May Eritrea find its way to freedom and prosperity.

[@kagnewmp12]

I flew into Asmara airport in August 1972 and left 16 months later in December 1973. The exterior of the airport looks the same but inside is totally different. I also noticed none of those big building were there when I was. The Fiat building is the same and I remember the old ROMA building. The part showing Asmara Downtown looked very familiar and I married a beautiful Italian girl in that church in November 1973 and walked down those steps with my new wife. I can also say that those big palm trees were somewhat smaller as well. The one thing I did notice as well is that when I was there 47 years ago not as many people were walking around in Jeans and Tennis shoes. I have no idea who the statue is of cause it was not there. I remember the bottle factory but I never visited there or the old Bus company. I drove the road to Massawa more times than I could count. I remember driving down at least 2 times a month or more through the clouds and making those crazy turns we called Switch Backs. I believe the old railroad was still running back in my days there but I never road on it. The old railroad bridge is in pretty bad shape and we never saw those big groups of Baboons either and the dry river bed is the same. It's sad to see what war and possibly corruption has done to this beautiful city but the Red Sea is still beautiful. There are a lot of new unoccupied apartment buildings and Emperor Halie Selassie's Palace was absolutely beautiful back then. I spent many full nights with my friends on those beautiful beaches. At 13:27 as you are crossing the bridge I can just start to see what we called the TTU building which was the US Military recreation center and spent many a weekend at that building and now it is called the Dahlak Hotel. I also noticed one huge difference from my time in Asmara and that is the traffic and amount of cars. I did notice that most of the drivers are still bad as they just pull out in front of anyone else. I thankyou so much for this great visit and wish you could visit the old US Military Post we called Kagnew Station up on the hill in Asmara. I loved my time there and I also wish to say how sorry I am if my Country did anything bad to your way of life.

[@hulewoodentertainment4037]

Thank you for watching the video. Your great experience and memory of Eritrea are amazing. I am originally from Ethiopia, and this was my first trip to Eritrea. It is indeed a beautiful and fantastic country. Asmara is full of incredible architecture, and Massawa Island is a fantastic beach destination, and it also has a fascinating history. I hope to visit again, and I promise you I will have more footage of Kagnew Station. Thank you again for sharing your memory and experience.

[@earlymann1954]

@@kagnewmp12 The Navcommsta, tract F, was bulldozed many years ago. "Tit Hill" seems to have been leveled as well! What a disaster! I spent six weeks in Asmara in 2011. Served there at Tract F and B from 72-74. Not all that much really has changed from what I could tell, except of course Kagnew is not functioning anymore other than a housing for Eritrean veterans. Most of it is in disrepair now. A sad ending for what was a great outpost.

[@kagnewmp12]

@@michaelausting9344 Don't feel alone my friend as I too went down the ole Divorce line. I married a beautiful Italian girl while at Kagnew but her Italian temper far out weighed her beauty. We lasted 12 years and she gave me my pride and joy when my son was born. I have to say that Kagnew was by far the best assignment I had in my entire career. I had orders for Vietnam myself in 72 but they were changed at the last minute and I went to Kagnew.instead. The Oasis club closed before I arrived and all the enlisted moved into the Top Five. The Officers club was still there in fact they had a waiter stab and kill another waiter there one night. What a place

[@kagnewmp12]

@@michaelausting9344 Not that I remember but that has been close to 50 years now. I do remember the food being pretty good compared to MOMS but I was just an E-4 at the time so most meals were at Moms so as to spend it for lots of other things plus I saved half my check each month and bought a car when I got back to CONUS

Thanks for the visit.. Was very enjoyable. The war scars still remain but in time will be erased. Eritreans are wonderful humans. They have amazing memories. We would go to the club on Kagnew and have 10 or more people and the waiters would take everyone's orders and never write them down. Then place each person's order at the proper place without making any mistakes. I was dumbfounded. Miss my Eritrean friends whom I met there during my 2 1/2 years and I was one of the last 5 Army personnel to leave. One of my friends walked from downtown Asmara all the way to the airport to see us off.. She was banging on the window at the airport because she wasn't allowed in. We looked around and she was waving and crying. Hurt my heart so bad. I'm still sad.

Thank you for showing what Asmara looks like today. I was 19 years old, and in the US Army (Stratcom). Arriving at the airport in 1972, which look different, I can remember most of it like it was today. The palms lined up outside the airport, and heading toward downtown. Lots of Fiat vehicles, women wearing lots of white clothing. I was based at Kagnew Station. What fond memories. 72-74 were good times, riding our motorbikes down to Massawa, seeing camels, baboons, the red sea. Mahalo and Aloha
