The U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz commemorated Earth Day by planting a cherry tree in front of the headquarters building on Smith Barracks, Apr. 22. Earth Day served as the official unveiling of the new name for one of the streets on Smith Barracks in Baumholder, Germany. The street adjacent to the PX is now known as Holunder-Weg. For the occasion, three elderberry trees were planted. "We are planting three elderberry bushes along this road today,” said Jae Kim, USAG Rheinland-Pfalz deputy garrison manager for Baumholder. “May they blossom and grow, become as strong as our decades-long friendship, and strengthen our future."
