 And now, for your Strong Europe spotlight. Army Europe announced this year's winners of both the Eisenhower Professional Writing Competition and the Usur-Level General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award. The ceremony was held during the Army Europe Commanders Conference in Wiesbaden, Germany. Colonel Gary Graves, the senior fire's trainer at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center, took home top honors in the Eisenhower Award competition. Very important for all of us to continue to pick up the pen and write down the relevant lessons here in Strong Europe. Fourteen junior officers were recognized for outstanding leadership with the MacArthur Award. Among those recognized, three were selected to represent Army Europe in the Department of the Army-level competition. I'm hoping it provides me the opportunity to give back to soldiers in the future and continue to expand my influence and my ability to positively influence those junior leaders who are going to impact the next generation.
