We started the day participating on a radio program of the Armed Forces Network hosted by Demarrio Spence. Below is Demarrio at the mic with Jeff Bacon ready to go on the air.

We got a tour across the facility.
A bunch of the guys got these cool berets!
We did lots more drawing. Above is one Jack Davis did.
There are hiking trails EVERYWHERE!
Came across this hiker and his handmade flexible cane hiking sticks.
We had a wonderful dinner at the Bremerhof Restaurant & Biergarten.
My meal of wild boar.
Jeff Bacon received an award for his hard work putting all of this together from Walt Murren, Regional Vice President of USO Europe.
A number of USO officials joined us for this meal. Amongst those joining us was Mary Eisenhower, granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Here Jack Davis talks to her.
