GERMANY: WOUNDED US SOLDIERS ARRIVE FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT

(28 Jun 1996) English/Nat Americans wounded in Tuesday's bombing in Saudi Arabia have arrived at the giant US air base at Ramstein in Germany for expert medical treatment. 19 US Servicemen died and scores were hurt when a fuel truck laden with explosives was driven into the US air base at Dharan in eastern Saudi Arabia. And as the remains of the 19 dead American servicemen are returned to the U.S., their families try to deal with their grief. A U-S Air Force transport jet has arrived in Germany, carrying 22 people injured in the truck bombing in Saudi Arabia. The injured mostly suffered burns or broken bones, although stretchers were needed for some of them. A second plane carrying 21 more people injured in the blast was about two hours behind the first flight. The injured are believed to be all Army or Air Force personnel. They'll be treated at the nearby Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, the main U-S military hospital in Europe. Those with more serious injuries will not be airlifted from Saudi Arabia until their conditions are stabilized, probably this weekend. U.S. Air Force Captain Tim Haun is one of the soldiers who will never return. The 33-year-old helicopter navigator was killed Tuesday when he terrorist bomb ripped through the barracks where he slept. His wife of six years, Jenny, is trying to cope. SOUNDBITE: His loss is for me like I lost part of my life too. And I wish, I wish I could be with him. SUPER CAPTION: Jenny Haun, Wife of Capt. Timothy Haun. These Christmas photos show the entire Haun family in happier times. When Tim and Jenny married, he adopted her son and daughter. Tim will never play with his children again. His 20-year-old son remembers what he meant to them. SOUNDBITE: This family was so down and out, but when he came in he made us all together in a family. I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for him. SUPER CAPTION: Son of Capt. Timothy Haun. The Hauns say their loss is deep and irreplaceable. Now, they wonder why their husband and father was on temporary duty in Saudi Arabia for the fourth time. SOUNDBITE: They don't want us there. They sent my dad there. They don't want us there. Why do we always protect them when no one is protecting our own? SUPER CAPTION: Daughter of Capt. Timothy Haun. Eighteen other servicemen also lost their lives, leaving behind grieving families and friends. Among them - 20-year-old Airman Justin Wood. He was serving a second two-month tour in Saudi Arabia. Air Force Captain Christopher Adams of New York was planning to marry a fellow Air Force captain. And Staff Sgt. Kevin Johnson who leaves behind a young son.
