In 1946, Barney joined the Army and was sent to Ft. McClellan, Alabama, for basic training, followed by Fort Benning, Georgia, to parachute school and finally he arrived at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, 11th Airborne Division. In 1950, while still stationed in Fort Campbell, Barney’s real dreams came true. Little did he know that the long-legged eloquent lady he watched walk down the plane ramp was going to be his best friend and the love of his life for the next 70 years. After only two weeks, Barney and Libby knew that they could not be apart. Sept. 2, 1950 they were married in Dallas, Texas and so the love story began. From 1957-1964, Barney was detailed to an elite helicop-ter unit that supported the White House, Executive Flight Detachment Davison A.A.F in Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. He received Top Secret Clearance and much coveted White House Clearance during the reign of President Eisenhower to Kennedy and Johnson. Barney had business in every War Room of the White House. In 1967, Barney was transferred to San Antonio, Texas, home of Randolph Air Force Base, with a special unit to fly to and from the Texas White House during the Johnson Presidency. While at the Texas White House with President Johnson, he would receive orders from a military aide, who happened to be the pilot of Air Force One. Now it was 1968 and everything changed, Barney was faced with the most challenging year of his life, Vietnam. With God on his wings his family was able to welcome him home with great gratitude. In 1969, Barney retired from the U.S. Army and became President Johnson’s private pilot which led him and his family to Fredericksburg, Texas.

Three Fredericksburg Brothers Serving With The U.S. Army Three sons of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Itz of Fredericksburg are today serving in the U.S. Army. They are: Cpl. Kurt L. Itz, age 29, Staff Sergeant Luther R. Itz, age 26; and Sergeant Harry O. Itz, age 24, who is now somewhere in England
Cpl. Kurt Itz entered the service in May, 1942, and received his training at Camp Stoneman, Pittsburg, California, where he is still stationed with the Quartermaster Corps. He was married to Miss Emma Eckert of Fredericksburg in September, 1943, who is making her home with him in California.
Kurt Louis Itz entered the service May 26, 1942 at Fort Sam Houston, Texas and received his honorable discharge January 17, 1946, at Camp Fannin, Texas. He received his training at Camp Maxey, Texas, Camp Stoneman, California, and Fort Lewis, Washington.
Kurt was sent to Europe in early 1945 to join Company H, 2nd Battalion, 5th Infantry Division for action in France, Germany and Austria, attaining the rank of sergeant. His awards include the European Theatre Campaign Ribbon with two battle stars, the Good Conduct, American Theater Campaign and Victory Ribbons, and the Bronze Star medal.
The Bronze Star award citation reads: "Kurt Itz (38159069), Sergeant, Infantry, Company "H", 5th Infantry, for meritorious service in connection with military operations against the enemy from 12 March 1945 to 6 May 1945, in France, Germany and Austria. Sergeant Itz's ability to speak and and interpret the German language greatly enabled his unit in combat. Because of this valuable asset Sergeant Itz participated in nearly every patrol made by his company. On numerous occasions he was able to locate enemy positions by conversing with the civilians. Obtaining information in this manner prevented his patrol from taking unnecessary risks and possible ambush in attempting to discover enemy positions. In addition, Sergeant Itz displayed exceptional ability and leadership in participating in action against the enemy. Sergeant Itz's devotion to duty reflects high credit upon himself and the Armed Forces. Entered military service from Fredericksburg, Texas."
