For those who served at Cooke Barracks in Goppingen Germany we have a wonderful collection of exciting gifts for you.
We specialize in making unique personalized gifts, keepsakes, home goods and novelty items. Our laser engraved items will bring back memories of “Planet Gurp.” Memories of the friends we made, our time in the field, in town, or exploring Europe. Contact us and we will do our best to make that unique gift for you.
This project started with a Christmas ornament commemorating service with the 4th Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment stationed at Cooke Barracks in Goppingen, Germany back in the 1980s. I had a request for ornaments from other units so we put together designs for ten units which were assigned to Goppingen, Boblingen, New Ulm, and Schwabish Gmund. If you would like a different unit or location design, please email me and we will get you what you like.
New collection.

Tabletop/bookshelf sign
For many of us, our time at Cooke Barracks and in Goppingen Germany, was a time to remember. Days spent training, working in the motor pool, loading up and moving out on alert, or down time spent exploring Europe and making new friends.
