EUCOM Turns 60 Today
Happy Birthday, US European Command!
Today we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the inception of our command. Our dedicated Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and civilians are here at a fine time.
Since Aug. 1, 1952, EUCOM participated in or provided support to more than 200 named operations. These operations cover the spectrum of military operations, from humanitarian and natural disaster relief efforts to peacekeeping and anti-terrorism/force protection operations and preserving peace across Europe.

67th anniversary of D-Day: A living history book
I'll admit I've never been big on history, but there's something surreal about visiting the tiny villages our American Soldiers helped liberate 67 years ago. After meeting several D-Day veterans, walking on the beaches where thousands fought and died, and seeing the steep cliffs where they encountered enemy fire made history real for me.
