Jan. 22, the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Center, Europe hosted its annual New Year's reception. Col. William M. Stubbs, USAMMCE Commander, and USAMMCE command Sgt. Maj. William Majors, welcomed almost 200 guests from the Host Nation Government, local communities, German and U.S. Military Leaders, and friends.

As part of the event, Brigitte Mack, Sgt. Maj. William Majors, and Master Sgt. Terri Dickerson were inducted into the "Order of Military Medical Merit", also known as O2M3. Two German Army Soldiers and one local mayor received the "Friend of the Regiment" award for their significant contributions to USAMMCE.

The afternoon's entertainment was provided by the USAREUR Band Jazz Combo and the Landgrafengarde, a local dance group featuring traditional German dances.
