comes to teaching English and the donations he was able to<br />
accumulate. Lt. Vanmeter’s unit, part of Multi-National Task Force-<br />
East’s <strong>KFOR</strong> <strong>11</strong>, ended its mission in Kosovo in mid-November,<br />
handing over responsibility to <strong>KFOR</strong> 12. He said after he’s gone<br />
from Kosovo, he hopes somebody picks up where his troops left<br />
off and continues the school donation effort.<br />
“We’re not here for just this one class,” he said. “We<br />
want this to continue for the long term.” Lt.<br />
Vanmeter said he and his troops feel good<br />
knowing that they have made an impact on<br />
the lives of the people in Kosovo. “It’s<br />
hard to sum up what you have done<br />
during a <strong>KFOR</strong> rotation but I know when<br />
I leave here this will be a pivotal<br />
moment to remember for the rest<br />
of my life. This is true, not only<br />
because I am a teacher but<br />
because I think this is<br />
probably the best thing we<br />
can do here.”<br />
