In the heartland of Germany, Ramstein Air Base embodies and celebrates Veterans Day every day with their workforce and retiree community. There are approximately 56,000 active-duty military, family members, and DoD civilians that live in and around the Kaiserslautern Military Community. The KMC also includes a robust retiree community that thrives in this area, which is the largest American settlement outside of the United States. Veterans Day is a celebration of all those who have served in the military at some point, no matter how long. Ramstein Air Base is a living example of veterans at work every day, for their country, and for their host nation, ensuring the safety and security of base personnel and their families.
