Once a month, American Airmen visit a German childcare center to sit down with a stack of children’s books and read aloud to a room of kindergartners.

These visits are part of the German-American Reading Program, a community outreach effort organized by the 86th Airlift Wing Host Nation Office and Kita Villa Winzig. The program introduces German children to the English language early in life, and, for the U.S. military, it is part of a deliberate effort to stay connected to the community that hosts over 50,000 American service members and their families in the Kaiserslautern area.

language at an early age.

Munich has a reputation that often starts and ends with beer halls and Oktoberfest. But spend even half a day walking through the city center and you quickly realize there’s far more to it:

Airlifter of the Month: A1C Jaideep Singh

Airmen who have been in longer than him.”

For U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Jaideep Singh, 700th Contracting Squadron contracting specialist, the answer to most problems starts with a question, and he is not afraid to ask it. His willingness to persevere against uncertainty, ask the uncomfortable questions, and stay with the problem until it is resolved has shaped Singh’s first year in uniform.

“Singh has only been in for a little over a year, and he is usually the first one to raise his hand for anything,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Tyler Winters, 700th CONS contracting officer. “I have never had to ’voluntold’ him for anything. He has been a good example for his peers and even for some

MASTHEAD

That quality showed during a period of increased operations, when his unit needed to convert an unused building into emergency aircrew lodging on a two-day timeline. The space was missing equipment required for aircrew, with no time to source it through normal channels. Singh took the problem on himself and made sure everything was in place before the deadline.

“I don’t like leaving things unfinished, so being able to take that one from start to finish was pretty sweet,” said Singh. “I got to figure out exactly what we needed and actually see it through.”

Outside the office, Singh became an early participant in the Kaiserslautern Military Community Run Improvement Club, a jointservice fitness program that meets three

mornings a week. Over six months, he dropped more than three minutes off his two-mile run time and became a coach for other members in the program. He is also pursuing a master’s degree and preparing for a below-the-zone promotion board as he works toward an officer commission.

What sets Singh apart is not his drive alone, but the maturity with which he applies it in a career field that can overwhelm newer Airmen.

“Contracting is intimidating,” Winters said. “Newer Airmen can freeze up or feel embarrassed if they don’t know something from day one. Because of his maturity, he can get past that and ask the questions to keep things moving. That is what I hope spreads to the other Airmen.”

Singh’s impact has extended beyond his

own performance, particularly for junior enlisted members navigating an environment with few mid-grade non-commissioned officers between Airmen and senior leadership.

“He is showing everyone that just being willing, able, and having a good attitude can take you a long way,” Winters said. “That is moving a whole squadron, not just what he is doing for himself.”

Singh does not see his approach as anything out of the ordinary. He sets a goal, breaks it down to what he can take on that day and refuses to let it sit. This mindset earned him recognition as Ramstein Air Base’s Airlifter of the Month.

“I just feel like I’m doing what is expected,” Singh said. “Just knowing where I want to be, what my goals are and getting there one day at a time.”

commissioned officer in charge, leads the program’s U.S. side, coordinating the monthly visits and the Airmen who volunteer for them.

“Every first Thursday of the month, we get the amazing opportunity to partner with our Host Nation office and a local GermanAmerican kindergarten called Kita Villa Winzig,” Sylvester said. “The purpose is to foster a connection with the local communities and give students a fun way to learn and practice their English naturally through reading.”

Through a broader, German-funded program, native English speakers are welcomed into local childcare facilities to introduce the language and foster a bilingual environment. The Airmen-led readings take place at Villa Winzig where it has been running since 2018.

Elke Sittel, 86th AW host nation advisor, said the readings may be one of the few chances the children have to hear and use English outside the classroom. With the program’s teacher speaking British English and the visiting Airmen reading in American English, the children pick up more than one dialect of the language, helping with com-

prehension skills. This also gives students a more hands-on approach with experiencing American culture.

“The readings help the children feel more at ease speaking a foreign language,” Sittel explained.

“They also give the kids firsthand experience with American culture and a chance to talk with English speakers they might not meet otherwise.”

The exchange runs both ways. For the Airmen who volunteer, the program offers something rare overseas: the chance to be a student again, right alongside the children.

“Communication is one of the most important aspects of any relationship. Investing intentional time with our host communities and their children creates a solid foundation we can build upon.”

“No matter where you are in the world, no matter what language you natively speak, children are our future.”

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Madison Sylvester, 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs Community Relations Noncommissioned Officer in Charge

“Unless you took the language in school, we’re on the same playing field as the children. You get to learn from the ground up without fear of imperfection or judgment,” Sylvester said.

Sylvester hopes the reach keeps growing. Multiple daycares across the Kaiserslautern Military Community have expressed interest in joining, and the goal is to expand beyond the once-a-month model.

That investment has not gone unnoticed.

“Each month, the program opens a window for our children into the American military world right beside them,” said Caroline Moor, Kita Villa Winzig English project coordinator.

“These are positive interactions they will carry with them, and benefit from, for years to come.”

“No matter where you are in the world, no matter what language you natively speak, children are our future,” said Sylvester. “Watching them learn new things about the world and themselves is such a privilege, and I would love to keep growing the program.”

Airman 1st Class Michelle Sies, a volunteer with the program, was nervous at first, afraid that she might stumble over her words, until the children leaned in and the nerves gave way.

“I was nervous going in, worried I’d mess up or stutter,” said Sies. “But once I started reading, I just had fun with it. The energy in the room was so positive and the kids were so engaged. Taking the time to read to them reminded me to slow down and enjoy life.”

In a command where the operation tempo rarely slows, the program asks Airmen for just one hour of their time per month. What it gives back, to the children, the volunteers and the bonds it creates in the community, lasts considerably longer.

Freedom delayed, but not denied: Deep roots, lasting legacy of Juneteenth

Story & graphic by Bernhard Lashleyleidner Landstuhl Regional Medical Center

Each year on June 19, communities across the nation pause to observe Juneteenth, a holiday rooted in the long American struggle for freedom, equality and human dignity.

For many, Juneteenth is a welcome summer holiday, but its history reaches back to June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to enforce the promise of freedom for enslaved people more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

That day, Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger, delivered General Order No. 3, announcing that all enslaved people in Texas were free and that there would be “absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property” between former enslavers and those who had been enslaved.

For more than 250,000 enslaved people in Texas, freedom had been declared on paper, but Juneteenth marked the moment it became a lived reality.

At Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, the holiday also serves as a reminder of the values that guide military medicine: dignity, fairness, representation, and trust.

“Celebrating events like Juneteenth reminds me of resilience and freedom; words often heard throughout the military and DHA,” said Amy Dungca, patient advocate at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. “It is a time that allows us to recognize, understand, and value each other’s varied backgrounds and histories.”

Dungca said that recognition strengthens communication, builds trust and helps create a more cohesive team.

The work of patient advocates at LRMC reflects many of the principles Juneteenth represents. The patient advocates’ core mission mirrors the core message of equality, justice, and representation.

“Patient Advocates exist to ensure that our patients are represented, treated fairly, and have a voice in their healthcare experi-

ence,” Dungca said. “Our patients have the right to the same high-quality, unbiased care.”

While LRMC’s Patient Advocate Office and Juneteenth operate in completely different spheres – one in military healthcare and the other in American history – both share broader underlying principles of justice, dignity, and equal treatment.

Patient advocates help protect the rights of service members, veterans, and their families navigating the military healthcare system. They ensure medical concerns and grievances are heard, reviewed, and addressed through the appropriate command and hospital channels.

Juneteenth, likewise, commemorates the enforcement of fundamental human rights after generations of enslavement. It marks not only the announcement of freedom, but also the recognition of the inherent dignity and equality of those who had long been denied both.

“Observing Juneteenth is a reminder of human dignity,” Dungca said. “If we allow ourselves to sit in the moment and remember the reason, we observe the holiday, we can use this day to reinforce our commitment to our patients by ensuring they are treated fairly and their voices are heard.”

Dungca said every person has a story, and listening to those stories is central to patient advocacy.

“Every person matters,” she said.

Lt. Col. Agela Iyanobor, deputy commander, Army Health Clinic Support Cell at LRMC said celebrating historical milestones like Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder of our shared commitment to the core values of freedom, equality, and dignity for all.

“Understanding the diverse historical experiences of individuals allows healthcare providers to approach patients with greater empathy and sensitivity to their unique life journeys,” said Iyanobor. “Acknowledging the strength of those who overcame historical adversity encourages providers to support and uplift patients as they navigate their own

health challenges and recoveries.

Iyanobor said when team members feel valued and respected for their unique perspectives, trust is built, directly enhancing operational readiness and our ability to operate as a cohesive, unified force.

“As a Service Member, it reinforces the solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution,” said Iyanobor. “It honors the resilience of those who fought for freedom and inspires a dedication to protecting the rights and liberties of all people today.”

The name Juneteenth is a blend of the words June and nineteenth. The holiday is often referred to as America’s second Independence Day. While July Fourth marks the birth of the nation, Juneteenth marks a later and essential step toward fulfilling the nation’s promise of liberty for all.

For generations, Juneteenth was preserved through local community gatherings, church picnics, parades, family reunions, and other traditions, first in Texas and later across the country as Black families migrated north and west. Texas became the first state to make it

FREE HOME-DELIVERY OF THE

an official state holiday in 1980.

Traditional Juneteenth observances often include red food and drinks, such as strawberry soda and red velvet cake, symbolizing the resilience, sacrifice, and spiritual strength of those who came before.

The movement to recognize Juneteenth nationally gained momentum in the 21st century, led in part by advocates such as Opal Lee, often known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth.” On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, making it the first new federal holiday established since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983.

For LRMC, observing Juneteenth is more than a historical reflection. It is a reminder that dignity, fairness and voice are not abstract ideals. They are daily responsibilities carried out in the way staff members care for patients, listen to concerns and uphold trust.

Celebrating Juneteenth reinforces LRMC’s commitment to giving every patient an equal voice, exceptional care, and the dignity they deserve.

435th AGOW Airmen honor D-Day legacy

by Capt. Amber Kelly-Herard 435th Air Ground Operations Wing

NORMANDY, FRANCE — On June 6, 1944, the 435th Troop Carrier Group of the U.S. Army Air Forces dropped paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division near Cherbourg, France, and towed Waco and Horsa gliders carrying reinforcements.

On June 7, 35 U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 435th Air Ground Operations Wing, direct descendants of 435 TCG, parachuted into Normandy to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

“As a jumpmaster, this jump and the history behind it is incredibly humbling,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Amanda Thompson, 435th Security Forces Squadron Contingency Response team member. “Every time we conduct airborne operations, we're focused on the safety of our jumpers and the successful execution of the mission, but standing here in Normandy puts that responsibility into a much greater historical perspective.”

Thompson noted significant similarities and differences between herself and her predecessors.

“The jumpmasters who loaded onto C-47s on D-Day carried the same responsibility to inspect their paratroopers, maintain discipline in the aircraft, and get their stick safely out the door,” she said. “But

they did so knowing they were flying into enemy territory and that many of the men they were leading might not return. That’s a weight that most of us today can hardly begin to comprehend.”

However, the most significant difference is the outcome of the mission.

“We are fortunate to return home to our families and loved ones after this jump, something many of the paratroopers who fought here never had the chance to do,” she said. “That perspective makes this experience incredibly meaningful and humbling.”

The road to paratrooping at Normandy is long.

First, qualifying as a parachutist requires a minimum of 12 jumps. Then, the members must attend a jumpmaster course where they are tested on reciting prejump commands, a nomenclature test, a 100-question test, and mastering aircraft safety procedures. Lastly, candidates must complete a Jumpmaster Personnel Inspection where the member inspects three jumpers and finds one to five deficiencies in less than five minutes.

“Completing the course is just the beginning,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Nathan Ocasio, 435th SFS Contingency Response team lead. “Being a jumpmaster is a constant learning experience.”

Both Ocasio and Thompson

have been jumpmasters for around two years.

“Being a jumpmaster is a very humbling experience,” said Thompson. “People trust you with their lives, and you’re often the last person they see before they exit the aircraft. That responsibility requires you to hold yourself to a higher standard because your character, professionalism, and actions directly affect the confidence of the jumpers you’re leading.”

In addition to jumping out of airplanes, the 435th AGOW also stood in formation at several D-Day ceremonies across the Normandy region.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to attend ceremonies in Normandy,” said Ocasio. “Meeting veterans, speaking with families, visiting the memorial sites, and seeing people from around the world gather to remember those who served makes you appreciate the significance of what happened here. As time passes and fewer veterans remain with us, it becomes even more important to carry on their legacy and stories,” Ocasio added.

Paratrooping in Normandy also provides an opportunity for the 435th AGOW Airmen to connect with their fellow paratroopers.

“The Airborne community is a very strong one, and the history here connects all of us,” said Thompson.

EOD leads the way through adaptability, partnerships

Senior Airman Dylan Myers 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

When a suspicious package is reported, a call goes out across the installation. For most, that call means stop, back away and wait. To the 786th Civil Engineer Squadron explosive ordnance disposal flight it means the opposite.

They move toward the danger.

EOD is one of the most specialized career fields in the U.S. Armed Forces, and one that may not be as understood. Most people only see the badge or hear the title. What they rarely see is the deliberate, methodical thinking that happens before anyone takes a single step toward a threat.

“As soon as you get a call, you put your game face on,” said Staff Sgt. Christian Brown, 786th CES EOD team leader. “I get a flow chart that goes through my head: What is everything we need for this problem, and what is the best way to get it set up to be as efficient as possible?”

Speed without discipline is dangerous. What sets EOD technicians apart isn’t how fast they move. It’s how meticulous they think when everything around them is telling them to panic.

“We can never eliminate the inherent risk that comes with our job,” Brown said. “But we’re always striving to mitigate it.”

That mindset doesn’t arrive fully formed. It’s built through months of training at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, and years of experience that continues long after the schoolhouse.

“You come out of school just gung-ho, super confident,” Senior

Airman Cameron Poe, 786th CES EOD team member, said. “You get to your flight and you’re just like, ’oh’. You start from zero and really start learning what this job is.”

For Poe, the importance of humility is a pivotal component of staying grounded and clear-sighted. Confidence in EOD isn’t arrogance; it’s a precision tool built through knowledge, tested through training, and necessary for the job to succeed.

“Coming off as cocky is better than coming off as incompetent,” Brown said. “Especially when you and other people’s lives are at stake.”

That confidence has to carry through the entire team. Brown learned that lesson early in his career, and it’s shaped how he leads today.

“The easiest way to do well on an operation is to just be comfortable,” Brown said. “It’s up to the team leader to set that flow. Whatever you have to do to set that tone, as an NCO you are in charge of that.”

For Brown, that weight of responsibility becomes clearest at graduation. EOD technicians don’t receive their badge on a parade field. They receive it at the EOD Memorial Wall, Kauffman EOD Training Complex, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, where the names of every fallen technician since the career field’s inception are etched into the wall.

“You get your diploma, you get your badge in front of this legacy that’s left behind,” Poe said. “And you have a responsibility to uphold.”

That responsibility doesn’t wait long to be tested. The threat landscape that EOD technicians now face is shifting faster than ever,

and the career field is racing to keep pace.

Drones, once a peripheral concern, have become one of the most pressing challenges the career field faces. The 786th CES EOD trains against simulated versions of those threats, adjusting tactics as new information arrives from conflicts abroad.

“The career field describes the relationship between emerging threats and EOD technicians as a cat and mouse game,” Brown said. “Emerging threat, EOD techs find a way to solve it. Another threat, EOD techs find a way to figure it out. It just keeps building.”

That adaptability extends far beyond the training range. At Ramstein specifically, the mission reaches across borders and back through decades of history, binding American Airmen to Allies still reckoning with the ordnance of a war that ended eighty years ago.

The 786th CES maintains active partnerships with EOD Allied partners across Europe, working alongside host nation teams on unexploded ordnance that has been buried across the continent since 1945.

“Our bread and butter here is the partnership role that we play,” Brown said. “I’ve gotten to go to the Netherlands, Slovakia, Sweden, Luxembourg and work with these guys, see how they do the same thing that we do.”

For the Airmen of the 786th CES EOD flight, the mission is rarely visible and that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work. The call is made, and deliberate action follows.

The chaos doesn’t stop. They just learn to adapt.

US Army Medical Department Activity Bavaria Soldiers take part in 57th International March of Diekirch

by Kirk Frady Medical Readiness Command, Europe

DIEKIRCH, LUXEMBOURG — As a sign of camaraderie and commitment to its NATO allies and host nation partners, a group of U.S. Soldiers assigned to U.S. Army Medical Department Activity Bavaria and the Army Health Clinic Vilseck took part in the 57th annual International March of Diekirch in Luxembourg May 30-31.

With approximately 8,000 civilians and military personnel taking part, the International March of Diekirch commemorates the liberation of Luxembourg, twice from foreign oppression, and shows gratitude toward U.S. soldiers who liberated Luxembourg in 1918 and 1944.

“Events like the International March of Diekirch strengthen relations with our allies and partners while showcasing the professionalism and commitment of our U.S. servicemembers,” said Sgt. 1st Class Jennifer Collazo, the S3 Operations noncommissioned officer in charge for MEDDAC-Bavaria. “Participants from several nations, military organizations, and the local communities all came together. There was a strong sense of camaraderie, mutual support, and respect among all participants.”

The march, originally organized by the Luxembourg Army, was first held in 1968. The number of participants in the International March of Diekirch on its inaugural debut was only 267. Over the years, it has grown to several thousand participants.

“The atmosphere was absolutely incredible,” said Sgt. 1st Class Adam Quick, an S3 Operations noncommissioned officer for MEDDAC-Bavaria. “There was a profound

sense of camaraderie out there on the trail.

You have military contingents from all over NATO, local civilians, and veterans, all sharing the same arduous journey. The support and cheers from the local towns we marched through were highly motivating and really kept our spirits high.”

Participants had the option of competing in a 12-, 20- or 40-kilometer hike. The march is open to military personnel and civilians alike, including children.

“Our team tackled the 20-kilometer (12.42 miles) route on day one of the march,” Quick added. “The steep elevation changes and the varying terrain of the region really put the lead in your legs. By the end, everyone was feeling the miles, but crossing the finish line as a team made all the pain worth it.”

Since its inception, more than 250,000 individuals have participated in the annual march.

“I had a fantastic experience while I was there meeting and talking with so many different people from different backgrounds and countries,” said Pfc. Jarold Chetwood, a combat medic assigned to the Army Health Clinic Vilseck. “We did the 40-kilometer march on the first day. The original plan was to do back-to-back 40-kilometer marches, however, due to the multiple steep hills over that distance we decided against the second day.”

When asked what advice he would give to anyone contemplating taking part in the Diekirch march, Chetwood said, “Carry plenty of extra socks and practice on hills with steep inclines to better prepare for this event."

The 58th International March of Diekirch is tentatively scheduled for May 2027. For more information about the march, visit marche.lu.

This year, the sundial on the Reiserberg will also be integrated into the hike. The diversity of the landscape is also reflected in the variety of foods offered, which mostly come from the region. A trilingual menu in German, Palatine, and English leaves nothing to be desired. Be it smoked trout, vegetable patties, or homemade cakes from the creative women’s meeting, everything freshly prepared from the ponds and forests.

ABTEIKIRCHENKONZERT

(CHURCH CONCERT)

JUNE 21, 5 P.M., ABTEIKIRCHE, OTTERBERG

Stabat Mater: With his early departure from the opera stage in 1829, Gioachino Rossini composed only larger-scale sacred music alongside chamber music. Among these is the Stabat Mater, which was created in two phases between 1831 and 1841 and premiered in Paris in 1842. The text encapsulates

Mary’s grief in the face of the Crucified in a prayer. Rossini unites different forms such as aria, duet, quartet, and chorus, operatic arioso style, and strict a cappella technique into one of the highlights of this genre. After the successful performance of F. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s Hymn of Praise in 2025, the choir at Bännjerrück is preparing for a special concert in the abbey church: the vocal quartet and the choir are accompanied by a chamber orchestra, following an arrangement by J. Linckelmann from 2016. With the arrangement (flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, timpani, and strings), the symphonic character is nevertheless preserved.

ABC in KMC: Festivals and summer fun

by Gina Hutchins-Inman 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

If you live in one of the villages or towns around Kaiserslautern or Kusel, you’ll soon spot signs for a “Kerwe” or “Dorffest.” It’s festival season and a great time to get outside, meet your German neighbors, make new friends, and dive into authentic village life!

Summer in Germany is festival season, and the region around Kaiserslautern offers plenty of large-scale events to choose from: the Altstadtfest in Kaiserslautern in early July, Speyer’s Brezelfest in mid - July, Bad Dürkheim’s Sommer program and the Fallen Fortress Open Air rock and metal shows in July and August, Freinsheim’s Stadtmauerfest in mid - July, a lakeside music festival at Ohmbachsee near Schönenberg - Kübelberg, Wein am Markt in Landstuhl at the end of the month, Weilerbach’s Weindorf in August and the Kuseler Messe in early September.

Cozy village fests

But, you may not even have to travel very far, most likely your town or village will have a “Kerwe” just down the road. A Kerwe (Palatinate dialect) is a local village festival originally tied to a church consecration, derived from the word “Kirchweih,” and is traditionally celebrated from mid-summer to early fall.

Until a century ago, the Kerwe was, after Christmas, the village’s most important celebration. Houses and fences were freshly painted, children received new clothes, and women prepared special dishes and baked for relatives and guests who came to join the festivities. Young people used the occasion to meet one another, and many couples who met at the Kerwe tied the knot in the months that followed.

Today the Kerwe is less central to family reunions, but many traditions remain: special meals for friends and relatives, a festival set up on the marketplace, dances in the local gasthaus, and sometimes a parade. Most often local clubs and associations will support the events with plenty of food and drink stalls, rides for children and adults, and music on several stages—from tradi-

tional brass bands to pop and rock. Most towns also host a Frühschoppen, an early-morning social drink accompanied by lively “oompa” music.

One tradition endures: The village youth still fashion the Kerwestrauss, a pole festooned with thousands of colored ribbons, and raise it outside the local Gasthaus or town hall.

From a ladder a skilled speaker delivers the Kerwerede, a dialect speech recounting local scandals, sensations, and comic episodes. Today these celebrations typically take place over a summer weekend and have a much cozier, community-focused atmosphere than the large commercial carnivals.

Some of the larger Kerwe and village fests that are coming up soon include:

Seewoogfest in Miesenbach on June 19 – 21. Kuckuckskerwe in Enkenbach, Glan-Münchweiler and Niedermohr in early July. Hochspeyer and Thallichtenberg celebrate in early August, and

Alsenborn, Ramstein, Otterberg and Weilerbach in September.

In addition to the annual Altstadtfest, Kaiserslautern offers a fabulous street art theater and music festival taking place July 17 – 19. This year Baumholder is hosting a special 75 Years/ 250 Years celebration at the airfield on the long Independence Day weekend.

Every year, numerous wine royalties such as the Zellertal Wine Princess and the Palatinate Wine Queen travel to the wine fair in cozy Einselthum on the third weekend in July.

Kirchheimbolanden is celebrating its annual elegant Residenzfest Aug. 8. Stay tuned for further dates and locations in UNTERWEGS.

River festivals

Larger and more spectacular events along Germany’s streams include the Weinfest “Zeller Schwarze Katz” taking place the weekend starting June 26 in Zell/ Moselle. The Altstadtfest from

June 26 - 28 and the Zurlaubener Heimatfest in Trier along the banks of the Moselle River with fireworks, from July 10 – 12. The Altstadtfest in Saarbrücken along the Saar River takes place on the 4th of July weekend this year.

And, the Backfischfest in Worms on the Rhein River from Aug. 24 – Sep. 1, is the largest volksfest in the region and draws up to 700,000 visitors a year.

You can also enjoy spectacular fireworks and riverside festivals on the “Rhein in Flammen” (Rhine in Flames) cruises, which glide past castles and picturesque towns; several tour operators offer package trips on dates from June through September. For inspiration visit: https://www.rhein-inflammen.com/home_gb.html

Time for fine wine

When summer’s heat fades and the days grow cooler and more colorful, the festival season turns to more traditional autumn celebrations: the Bad Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt, the Weinkerwe in

St. Martin and Neuleiningen, while the Weinmarkt in Mainz takes place late August to early September. Neustadt-Weinstrasse hosts the Deutsche Weinlesefest from late September to October, with the largest vintners’ parade in Germany marking the highlight of the wine fest season in the Palatinate.

In addition, there is a string of wine festivals along the Moselle, Saar and Rhein Rivers. Details listed at: https://en.visitmosel.de/ wine-cuisine/wine-events September then ushers in the world’s largest beer festivals from Munich’s Oktoberfest and Stuttgart’s Wasen to smaller regional Octoberfest celebrations, in addition to local and vibrant colorful farmers’ markets that welcome the fall.

Whether you prefer big, spectacular festivals with thrilling rides and bustling crowds or a cozy, familiar celebration near your doorstep, there’s something for everyone. Just step outside and enjoy the fun!

Traffic circles

Story & graphic by German American Community Office

This week our driving topic is when and correctly driving in a traffic circle.

The same rules for traffic circles apply in Germany and the U.S. We were asked from multiple people to share basic behavioral rules in local traffic circles as there seem to be many misunderstandings (I can think of at least two traffic circles in the area that are complicated).

The basic rules are:

• When wanting to enter a traffic circle, yield to vehicles already in the traffic circle.

• Cars in the traffic circle have the right of way.

• Use a turn signal when exiting the traffic circle.

• The direction of travel is right.

• Use caution when entering, driving in and exiting a traffic circle.

When there are traffic lights in the traffic circle, those dictate the rules.

From cold war to Operation Atlantic Resolve, Wellenreich family continues tradition of sustainment service

by Pfc. Kadence Connors 21st Theater Sustainment Command

For over 70 years one name has remained with the 6966th Transportation Truck Terminal, from the Cold War to the War on Terror: Wellenreich.

After 47 years of service supporting the U.S. Army in Europe, Claus-Jürgen Wellenreich retired from the 6966th Transportation Truck Terminal, closing a chapter in a family legacy that spans three generations and seven decades of military transportation operations in Germany.

“My career within the 6966th started in November 1979, where I held several positions in the field of road transportation,” said Wellenreich. “The latest assignment dates back to May 1995, as a highway operation supervisor for this unit.”

However, his connection to the 6966th started before 1979. His father served with the 6966th in the transportation administration department starting in the 1950s.

“Watching my father serving in the 6966th taught me that supporting the U.S. troops in Europe is more than a duty, it is

a commitment to something greater than oneself,” said Wellenreich.

That inspiration eventually led to a family tradition of serving as local nationals.

Local national employees are hired to support U.S. or allied military missions in their home country.

For the past 11 years, Wellenreich’s daughter, Jenny, has worked alongside him.

She is now continuing a legacy that has supported the Cold war, fall of the Berlin Wall, Yugoslavian Regional Conflict, the War on Terror, and modern day conflicts.

Wellenreich hopes that one of his grandchildren can continue the family tradition of sustainment service in the future.

Looking back at his career, several accomplishments and challenges stood out to Wellenreich, starting with his first major mission supporting the Bosnian War.

Fairly new in the supervisory position, Wellenreich was not only entrusted with coordination, managing and overviewing the Eagle Express for the 6966th but also the Convoy Support Center in Germany and Austria along the supply route.

“I was a brand new man with no idea

what I had to do, so I had to learn every day,” said Wellenreich.

The Eagle Express was the longest lasting overland supply route in Army history run by the 37th Transportation Command for supporting U.S. military combat operations in the former Yugoslavia region from 1995 to 1999.

“Every day we supported the U.S. forces with everything they needed, ammunition, supplies, explosives and a lot of other things,” said Wellenreich.

The biggest challenge came a few months later in late 1996 when he was deployed and put in charge of a 50-man team taking over 24 heavy equipment transporter systems. For over three months, Wellenreich and his team faced numerous inclement weather conditions while living in tents and also taking care of the vehicles with them. Away from his family, he learned that duty often comes with personal sacrifices, and the support of family is an essential part of the mission’s success.

According to Wellenreich, there was never a dull moment in his time at the 6966th.

“Everyday is different,” Wellenreich said. “You always have new requirements and you must react to them. It’s a unique job between the military and civilians. It requires a lot of ‘out-of-the-box thinking’ since there are no blueprints, you must decide on the situation.”

As his time with the 6966th came to a close, he left some words of advice to incoming employees of the 6966th.

“Whenever you start a career within the 6966th, you have to steal with your eyes, and need to have ears like an elephant,” Wellenreich said. “You need to hear everything, see everything, and make notes. Also make sure to educate yourself and be flexible.”

“My father will leave a huge gap within our unit that cannot easily be filled,” said his daughter, Jenny Wellenreich, who now continues the path of service that her grandfather started 70 years ago and her father continued. “In times of constant change there is constancy like our green uniforms with the flying wheels on our shoulder, the family-like work environment and our ‘pride in professionalism.’”

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center team strengthens ties with Kaiserslautern Public Health Department

by Kirk Frady Medical Readiness Command, Europe

U.S. Army Col. (Dr.) Claude Burnett, director of global health engagements for Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, and U.S. Army Lt. Col. (Dr.) Erika Petrik, chief of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Division of Public Health recently met with officials from the City of Kaiserslautern’s Public Health Department to enhance collaboration and working relations between Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and local public health authorities.

“The engagement originated from discussions regarding communicable disease coordination and highlighted the need for stronger relationships and communication pathways between LRMC Public Health and local German public health authorities,” said Lt. Col. Petrik. “The goal is for transparency and open lines of communication between Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and local host nation Public Health officials.”

According to attendees, the outcome of the meeting was very positive and will help in creating stronger bonds, collaboration and closer working relations between host nation and local U.S. military health officials.

“Our meeting focused on public health coordination, infectious disease reporting, emergency notification procedures, contact tracing, isolation and transport processes, communication channels, and the respective roles and responsibilities of U.S. military and German public health organizations,” said Burnett. “We also discussed opportunities for information sharing, reciprocal visits, and future training and preparedness activities.”

The meeting was arranged by Lt. Col. Petrik who worked with local German Public Health counterparts to arrange an initial meet-andgreet/familiarization visit that focused on building relationships, understanding respec-

tive capabilities, and identifying opportunities for future collaboration.

“LRMC operates within a host-nation environment, and many public health challenges require close coordination between military and civilian authorities,” added Burnett.

“Building relationships before a crisis occurs improves communication, enhances force

health protection, strengthens community health preparedness, and enables a more coordinated response when public health issues arise that affect both the military and local population.”

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, established in 1951, is the largest American military hospital outside the United States and is a key

trauma and medical hub for U.S. forces in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

“Through continued communication and partnership, both organizations are better positioned to support public health preparedness and protect the health of the military and local communities they serve,” said Petrik.

Medical Readiness Command, Europe celebrates Army’s 251st Birthday

Oneil Archibald, the command's junior ranking Soldier, cut the ceremonial cake celebrating the Army's 251st birthday at the Medical Readiness Command, Europe headquarters in Sembach, June 12. Established on June 14, 1775 — more than a year before the Declaration of Independence — the U.S. Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of the American nation.

Building better riders, 86th AW hosts annual safety motorcycle mentorship ride

Story & photos by Airman 1st Class Paden Henry 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

As warmer weather brings more motorcycles onto roads across Germany, the 86th Airlift Wing Safety Office continues working to help riders develop the skills and judgement needed to ride safely. The 86th AW Safety Office hosted the second annual motorcycle mentorship ride in collaboration with Spangdahlem Air Base, June 5

For many new motorcycle riders, the first lesson has nothing to do with shifting gears or navigating curves. It starts with knowing when not to keep up.

“Ride your own ride,” said Tech. Sgt. David Gardner, 86th AW weapons safety manager and motorcycle rider coach. “Rookie riders will go out with a group of friends who may be more experienced and they’ll try to keep up. That’s where they get into an incident or an accident.”

Many riders feel pressure to match the pace of more experienced motorcyclists, especially on winding roads known among riders as “twisties.” Instead of focusing on their own abilities, they focus on keeping up.

According to the Air Force Safety Center, the DAF has lost 116 members from fiscal years 2016 to 2025 due to motorcycle accidents, an average of over 11 per year.

“Learn to respect the motorcycle,” said Tech. Sgt. Randy Willis, 86th AW traffic safety manager. “A lot of new riders think, ‘It’s a bike, let’s go crazy,’ but you need to ride within your limits.”

That mindset set the framework of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course, which introduces riders to the fundamentals of motorcycle operations, from throttle control, braking, turning and maneuvering. Advanced courses build on those skills with emergency braking, obstacle avoidance and other techniques riders may need in

real-world situations.

While motorcycle training is required every five years for military riders, both safety managers emphasized that refresher courses provide more than just a regulatory requirement. Beyond formal courses, mentorship rides offer riders an opportunity to learn in a more hands-on way.

The Department of the Air Force Rider has named 2026 the “Year of the Mentor.”

Unlike traditional classroom-based refresher courses, the mentorship ride serves as an alternative method for military riders to complete their required motorcycle refresher training. During the group rides, service members discuss safety topics, review riding methods, practice safe riding procedures while traveling through the region.

“I think it really ties the whole community together,” Willis said. “You’re meeting people from all over the base, building connections and learning from other riders.”

Both safety managers stressed motorcycle safety extends beyond those on two wheels.

“Drivers need to be aware now it’s summer, that more riders are out. There could be a bike there and you may not know,” Gardner said. “Look twice, save a life.”

Drivers can prevent accidents by checking blind spots, maintaining safe following distances and remaining aware of motorcycles sharing the road. Riders, on the other hand, can increase their visibility by wearing bright clothing, using proper lane positioning and ensuring other motorists can see them.

To attend a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course at Ramstein Air Base, contact the 86th AW Safety Office at DSN 314-480-7233 (Commercial: 06371-47-7233) or email them at Kmc.MotorcycleSafetyProgram@ ramstein.af.mil).

Members of the Kaiserslautern Military Community, participate in a mentorship motorcycle safety ride near Ramstein Air Base, June 5. The objective of the mentorship ride was to provide refresher training to military riders and build community among service members.

95th CSSB hosts “Praise and Graze” to celebrate community, excellence, service

Story & photo by 1st Lt. Nahjier Williams 16th Sustainment Brigade

Soldiers, Families, and friends of the 95th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion filled the Rheinlander Community Club as volunteers hurried to set up extra tables and chairs for the growing crowd.

This year’s gathering marked the second iteration of the battalion’s “Praise and Graze” event — formally hosted on May 20, by the Battalion Unit Ministry Team as UMT Appreciation Night, themed The Graze and Praise. Approximately 260 Soldiers and Family members attended the event, which focused on recognizing excellence, strengthening community bonds and celebrating the collective efforts that sustain the formation.

BN Chaplain Capt. Mike Kim opened the evening with an invocation centered on spiritual wellness, encouraging Soldiers and Families to reflect on gratitude, resilience and connection.

The event featured quiz-style activities highlighting battalion history, promoting team building and giving Soldiers and spouses of the 1,000-Soldier formation an opportunity to connect. Throughout the evening, 1st Lt. Drew Johannes, the narrator, invited guests to participate in the Moment of Sharing, during which Soldiers and Family volunteers exchanged words of encouragement and appreciation. The testimonies — offered by both Soldiers and spouses — strengthened unit cohesion and underscored the emotional ties that extend beyond the uniform.

Lt. Col. James Seale and Command Sgt. Maj. Garry Kisko, the battalion command team, recognized several Soldiers for outstanding performance, including Cpl. Kelvonda Harris, a 92A, an Automated Logistical Specialist, assigned to the Supply Support Activity. Harris was honored as the distinguished honor graduate of her Basic Leader Course cycle after earning a perfect 100 percent GPA and achieving a first-time

pass on all graded tasks.

In the spirit of servant leadership, the command team, senior leaders of the Herd, and Command Sgt. Maj. Jimmy Ingram, the 16th Sustainment Brigade command sergeant major, stepped into an adjoining room to serve food to attendees.

Another highlight of the evening was the battalion’s special recognition of civilian staff from the Baumholder dining facilities and the Rheinlander Community Club. Leaders formally acknowledged their hard work, dedication and service — reinforcing the importance of honoring contributions that support readiness, even when they come from outside the formation.

Many attendees were members of the Soldier and Family Readiness Group, along with senior spouse advisors from the battalion and brigade. Mrs. Avery and Mrs. Sauseda each shared personal reflections about what being part of the Herd family meant to them. Their remarks blended humor, gratitude and

emotion, drawing both laughter and quiet appreciation from the audience.

Mrs. Christi Kisko also addressed the crowd, emphasizing the vital role of the Soldier and Family Readiness Group in sustaining readiness and sharing stories from her long involvement with FRG and SFRG programs dating back to her husband’s earliest days in the Army. She offered special recognition to Mrs. Karen Kim, spouse of the battalion chaplain.

For the Kim family — who have served with the battalion since shortly after its 2023 reactivation — the evening marked their final Herd event before their upcoming PCS.

The night concluded with dozens of Soldiers and spouses receiving certificates of appreciation for their contributions to the battalion. The event served as a reminder that the collective efforts of Soldiers, families, civilian partners and volunteers remain essential to mission readiness and the overall resilience of the Herd.

CROSSWORD

royal history, grand architecture, hidden courtyards, local eateries, and places that feel distinctly Bavarian without being overly polished for tourists.

This route is designed for around four to five hours on foot and works well whether it’s your first visit or your tenth. Distances are short, but there’s enough variety to make central Munich feel bigger than it first appears.

1.

Start at Marienplatz and catch the Glockenspiel

Every first-time Munich itinerary should begin at Marienplatz, and for good reason. The square blends different eras of Munich – from its medieval origins to nineteenthcentury grandeur and modern city life. It has been Munich’s central square since 1158 and remains the city’s natural gathering point. The square is dominated by the Neo-Gothic Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), which possesses an ornate façade that often surprises visitors expecting something more traditionally Bavarian.

If possible, arrive shortly before 11 a.m. or noon (and 5 p.m. in summer) to see the famous Glockenspiel performance.

If you want a quick coffee before continuing, the surrounding streets offer plenty of options without leaving the historic core.

2. Walk through the Frauenkirche

From Marienplatz, it’s less than five minutes to Munich’s most recognisable landmark. The Frauenkirche’s twin green-domed towers define Munich’s skyline and remain visible from much of the center. Unlike many European cathedrals, its exterior is relatively restrained: large brick walls and clean lines rather than elaborate decoration.

Inside, the scale becomes more apparent. It’s cavernous, lovely, and filled with amazing detail. One of the church’s most curious details is the so-called “Devil’s Footstep,” a dark footprint embedded in the floor. According to local legend,, the devil was tricked into believing the church had no windows, until stepping inside and seeing the light.

Even visitors who aren’t especially interested in churches often find this stop worthwhile because of the atmosphere and historical significance.

3. Explore the Residenz and its courtyards

Continue east toward the Munich Residenz, which is one of the highlights that many Munich day-trippers miss.The Residenz gives a different perspective on Munich: less beer-hall capital, more European royal city. For centuries this was the seat of Bavarian rulers, and today it’s one of Europe’s largest city palaces.

Hall of Antiquities Antiquarium in Residenz Museum.

You could spend an entire day inside, but for a half-day walking tour, focus on the exterior courtyards and choose one interior highlight if time permits.

Walk through the sequence of courtyards and arcades and notice how architectural styles shift across centuries. If you go inside, the Antiquarium (the enormous Renaissance hall originally designed for sculptures) is particularly memorable.

4.

Slow down at Odeonsplatz and the Hofgarten Exit the Residenz toward Odeonsplatz. This broad square feels distinctly different from Marienplatz: calmer, more open, and often less crowded despite being only a few minutes away.

Look for the yellow façade of the Theatinerkirche and the open loggia structure inspired by Florence. From here, step directly into the Hofgarten.The garden’s geometric paths, fountains, and central pavilion create one of the easiest places to pause during the walk. Locals cut through here constantly, and that everyday use gives the space a different feel from more formal palace gardens elsewhere in Europe.

If the weather is good, this is an ideal place for a short break.

5.

Finish at Viktualienmarkt Loop back south for a final stop at Viktualienmarkt. This open-air market has operated in central Munich for more than 200 years and remains one of the city’s most enjoyable places to wander. It’s also a reminder of how regional food culture changes from one part of the country to another.

Unlike markets built mainly for tourists,

Viktualienmarkt still functions as a genuine food market. Expect seasonal produce, cheeses, flowers, Bavarian specialities, and plenty of opportunities to pick up lunch.

If you want something distinctly local, try a fresh pretzel, Obatzda (a Bavarian cheese spread), or a simple sausage lunch with a drink in the beer garden area.

It’s an easy, low-pressure ending to the walk, and one that feels more like experiencing Munich than checking landmarks off a list.

Timing tips

For the best experience, start between 09:00 and 10:00. You’ll reach Marienplatz before peak crowds and still have time to finish with lunch at Viktualienmarkt.

Spring and early autumn are particularly good for walking conditions, while December adds Christmas market atmosphere. Summer offers long daylight hours but also the largest crowds.

Getting to Munich

By car, Munich is approximately 4.5 hours from Kaiserslautern, 4 hours from Wiesbaden, and 2.5 hours from Stuttgart. For rail options, check with Deutsche Bahn.
