Previously, the logistics management specialist was an active-duty Army officer for about five years and in the Army Reserve for an equal amount of time, but he and his family never had the opportunity to serve in Europe until now.<\/p>\n<p>Now an Army civilian employee at LRC Stuttgart, Wilhelm said coming from a long line of family members who served in the military, he feels privileged to be doing so himself, especially in the heart of Europe and during the year the Army celebrates its 250th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandfather was a Merchant Marine during World War II, and my other grandfather served in the Red Cross during World War II. My father was a career serviceman in the Marines and the Navy, and I grew up a military brat in places like the Great Lakes, Guam and Virginia,\u201d Wilhelm said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, my sister is still serving. She was active-duty Army, and now she\u2019s an Army Reserve officer,\u201d said Wilhelm, who worked at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare School as a logistics captain\u2019s career course instructor and finished his uniformed service as a company commander in civil affairs at the rank of major.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m glad I was provided this opportunity in beautiful Germany. I\u2019m glad I get this chance to continue supporting Soldiers and Army Families. I appreciate this opportunity to serve, especially during this special year.
