“BECAUSE THEY GAVE UP THEIR TOMORROWS -WE HAVE OUR TODAYS” - MEMORIAL DAY 2026 🕯️🇺🇸🕯️🇺🇸🕯️🇺🇸 Throughout the course of U.S. history, American service members have given their lives in defense of the Nation. On this Memorial Day, U.S. EUCOM pays solemn tribute to their selfless service, courage in combat, and ultimate sacrifice. Here are just a few of our poignant moments from this weekend's numerous ceremonies across the European command.

As we also mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence this year, we reflect on the 109 years since the first American service members stepped on European soil during WWI, and the unchanged indomitable spirit of the US military; its commitment to the enduring ideals of liberty, freedom, and human rights.

FREEDOM 250 HIGHLIGHTS FRIEDRICH WILHELM VON STEUBEN 🇺🇸🤍🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸💙 Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was a Prussian-born military officer who had shown great promise in the well-disciplined Prussian Army. He received the honorary title of Baron, while serving as a court chamberlain for a German prince who ruled the Hohenzollern castle. While seeking new military employment, he had a chance encounter with an agent for Benjamin Franklin, who was in Paris at the time gathering support for the American Colonies. Von Steuben travelled to Paris and met with Franklin, who was impressed with Von Steuben’s military training, experience, and personality, and sent a glowing recommendation to General George Washington on his behalf.

The Continental Army rode out the winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge, where Von Steuben drilled into the soldiers the precision, discipline, toughness and professionalism that the Prussian Army was so renowned for. Under Von Steuben’s training, the Continental Army had become a group of extremely proficient, highly motivated warriors ready to meet the British on equal terms. During this time, he authored the “Blue Book” of detailed regulations for the Army that would serve as its regulation's manual through the War of 1812. Some of the regulations detailed in this manual are still in use today.
