25 GRAFENWOEHR, Germany – The 7th Army Training Command and units throughout Bavaria recognized ten Bavarians for their support to the U.S. military community in Bavaria during a ceremony May 21 for the inaugural ‘Good Neighbor Award.’
“The idea of this Good Neighbor Award is a small but hopefully meaningful way to say thank you,” said Brig. Gen. Christopher Norrie, commanding general of 7th ATC.
The inaugural class of Good Neighbors was a mix of current and former mayors as well as private citizens.
Anton Duerr of Grafenwoehr was honored posthumously after passing 2020. He was one of the founders of the Grafenwoehr German-American Volkfest, which has brought hundreds of thousands of Germans and Americans together since 1957.

As the Army looks to preserve its budget and advance modernization priorities in the Indo-Pacific region, it tested firing rockets at targets from long distances during exercises near Russia on Wednesday amid tensions with the Kremlin.
The Defender Europe exercises taking place across 13 training areas with 28 NATO partners and allies are defensive in nature and practice a range of capabilities over six weeks. In Estonia this week, Army units from the United States, Estonia, and the United Kingdom practiced firing artillery rockets with ranges up to 300 miles. Meanwhile, before Congress, Army leadership was making the case for preserving its budget so that it can adjust to a region more fit for the Navy and Air Force and acquire the capability to fire hypersonic missiles over thousands of miles.
