with the goal of presenting today's Germany to Americans across the
United States and showcasing how closely the two countries are linked by
heritage, common values, and shared interests;
Whereas there are more than 50 million Americans of German origin living in the
United States, many of whom have provided valuable contributions to the
growth and development of the United States and to the maintenance of
strong ties to Germany and the German people;
Whereas Wunderbar Together--Germany and the U.S. will bring together more than
250 partners across all 50 States, with over 1,500 events and projects

more;
Whereas Wunderbar Together--Germany and the U.S. will assist both countries in
addressing global challenges through dialogue and cooperation;
Whereas today the United States and Germany are close political allies,

Whereas Germany is an important trading partner of the United States in the
European Union, and German companies have created 692,000 American jobs;
Whereas the United States played a leading role in the reconstruction of Germany
after World War II through political and financial means, laying the
groundwork for the establishment of a peaceful, democratic postwar

fall of the Berlin Wall, which took place 30 years ago this November:
