Fort Riley families gather to wait for soldiers' safe return
Support networks help with grief
The Associated Press
FORT RILEY — Margie Ritter left an officers' wives luncheon in tears yesterday but had her composure back in minutes.
"It was the prayer," she said. "It really touched me. It was exactly how I felt."
Ritter has not heard from her husband since he was deployed to Saudi Arabia on Dec 31 with his first Infantry Division armored unit.
The "Army Wives' Prayer" read at the regularly scheduled potluck lunch asked God's protection for the deployed soldiers and "greatness of heart to see the difference between duty and his love for me."
Almost 9,000 of the nearly 12,000 soldiers sent to the Persian Gulf from Fort Riley are married.
Some people had expected a dramatic transition from the spouses once lightening fell.
"Actually, it was kind of quiet." said Maj. Dennis Demond of Manhattan, the duty chaplain Wednesday night.
He got one telephone call. It was from someone on post concerned with the case.
Demand said support networks set up within each unit appeared to be working.
"People were talking to each other on the telephone and getting together in their houses to nurture and support each other," he said.
While most of the wives seemed to be coping well yesterday, there was some initial numbness, shock and fear when Operation Desert Shield
"My husband has a life expectancy of three minutes," said one woman visiting the post Family Assistance Center on Wednesday night.
became Operation Desert Storm.
Many of the women who attended yesterday's luncheon were preparing supper when news came that the war had started.
"I got a clutch in my stomach, then I continued preparing dinner," said Vicki Mowery, whose husband commands an aviation brigade.
The women said they were trying to keep their family routine going while setting aside a little more time for themselves.
"I try to get some form of exercise every day, whether it's running or working out," Mowery said. "It relieves stress. It gives me some time to just be alone with my thoughts."
As the wives and their children wait for word that the division has gone into action, other soldiers continue to leave for the gulf. Two Army Reserve ammunition units, one from Missouri and one from Nebraska, shipped out yesterday.
Sgt. Greg Long, a hospital unit reservist from Ohio, had been waiting for equipment to be assigned to him. He has it now.
Other reservoirs on post expect to be going soon.
"I've just got to wait around for that phone call," he said. "It's not one I'm looking forward to, but I know it's coming and maybe the sooner I get over there, the sooner I can come back."
The Defense Department has established 24-hour telephone numbers for relatives and friends of service members to obtain general information concerning casualties in the Persian Gulf War. Here are the numbers by service:

Apparent terrorism strikes worldwide
In New Delhi, police said a bomb exploded in a travel office that had an American Airlines sign attached outside. The attack on the office, the day before, was after the United States and its allies launched attacks on Iraqi targets.
In the northern German city of Kiel, attackers today smashed the windows of the "Kennedy-Haus" U.S. American culture center.
Police in Bonn said they suspected arsonists were behind a large blaze in a U.S.-owned Woolworth store. Two other fires of suspicious origin broke out last night in suburban Bremen a diplomatic community, police said.
BERLIN — Authorities today reported attacks on facilities in Germany, India and Italy following the bombing of Iraq. The U.S. military closed its schools in Germany and intense security measures were in force at airports and other places thought to be likely targets of Iraq-inspired reprisals.

A statement from the Interior Ministry in Bonn early today said protection had been increased at German airports and military installations
Hatch, a Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, this morning identified the targets as a U.S. Information Service library in Quito, Ecuador; the U.S. consultate in Lahore, Pakistan; an unspecified site in Berlin and a Harvard University villa in Florence, Italy.
In addition, Hatch said, shots were fired at the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem. Police in Jerusalem initially
Heathrow airport, Britain's busiest, was on high alert.
Hours before war broke on, British police and immigration service officers rounded up 28 Iraqi who were among the 67 students and others ordered out of Britain earlier this month as security threats.
Police said responsibility for the bombs was claimed by a previously unknown "Committee for Direct Action." A telephone call to a radio station.
In London, the U.S. Embassy canceled appointments for visa applicants and closed the building to visitors.
PLO claims no responsibility in attacks
In Washington, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said terrorists had made at least four attacks on U.S. installations abroad since the bombing of Iraq began overnight but, in at least two of the cases, the incidents occurred before Operation Desert Storm began.
At a burial service today in Tunisia for two top PLO aides assassinated Monday, an associate of Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasser Arafat said his group opposed all acts of terrorism.
No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.
Arafat's political counselor, Bassam Abu Sharif, condemned the attack on Iraq by the U.S.-led national forces, but he said a call by the PLO's Executive Committee for forces to resist U.S. aggression did not extend to terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe.

said three shots had been fired, but later yesterday they said they could not confirm that.
A check with authorities showed the Ecuador incident involved the tossing of a grenade Tuesday; that a gas container had been ablaze Wednesday morning in front of the Harvard University Center for the Italian Renaissance in a Florence suburb; and the Lahore incident involving the students marrying the facility this afternoon, with some throwing bricks over the wall. Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.
