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.

Although these quiet moments are too few and far between, I realize that my right to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,” wasn’t just handed to me, but fought for by the many who served and died.
