German civic leaders accept honorary command, partnership with U.S. forces
NIEDERWEIS, Germany – Col. Chris Weggeman, 52nd Fighter Wing commander, speaks to wing leadership and German civic leaders about the importance of building partnerships during a 52nd FW Honorary Commanders Banquet at Niederweis Castle here Feb. 24. The banquet is held to ceremoniously induct German civic leaders into the honorary commander program through a tradition of passing the 52nd FW guidon to the new honored commander. The program allows squadron, group and wing commanders to bolster and sustain partnerships with local leaders by working alongside one another to talk about and resolve community issues.
