Ex-Kommandant Christopher Cavoli ist Grafenwöhrs erster Ehrenbürger seit 40 Jahren

Er war Viersternegeneral, Oberbefehlshaber der US-Truppen in Europa und Afrika sowie der Nato in Europa. Trotz all dieser Aufgaben blieb Cavoli mit Grafenwöhr verbunden. Dafür wurde ihm nun die höchste Ehre der Stadt zuteil.
