Farewell to Leighton Barracks – May 13, 2008

On May 13, 2008, Leighton Barracks marked the end of more than six decades of U.S. Army service in Würzburg. During the farewell ceremony, the 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade cased its colors as the installation was officially returned to German control. For everyone who served, worked, or lived here, it was more than a ceremony—it was the closing of a chapter that will never be forgotten.
