  • I was blessed to have been able to attend the closing ceremony of Ledward barracks on Sept 19, 2014, where I was stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany. I was also blessed to have met the relatives of LTC Ledward and 1st LT Conn as well. I was filming from the front row sitting with all of the dignitaries. It was a bittersweet day for sure. "ROCK OF THE MARNE" !!!!!!!!!!!!
    Greetings to all from the Great State of Florida My name is Darion and I love to travel to Germany. If you have ever thought about or if you have never thought about traveling to Germany now is your chance. Let me be your personal travel guide. I lived a total of six years of my life in Germany, four years while my Dad had served in the US Army in Giessen, Germany but also two years in Schweinfurt, Germany while I had served in the US Army. I return to Germany at least once a year and I look forward to it immensely.

    Thank You for posting this. I have saved this and will definitely keep you in mind when I make plans to visit this area. My father served in the army in Bamberg Germany and I was conceived there lol and my ex husband was stationed on Ledward In Schweinfurt in 1994 and we lived there for awhile. I loved my time there and I am hoping to plan a trip back to that area one day soon.

      Germany Travel/Personal Guide as I said my ex husband was stationed on Ledward but we had our military housing in Bad Kissingen, which by the way is also a very beautiful town. I loved going to the Rosengarten in town.
