I wish you all a happy New Year- health and happiness for 2021!

Before we depart this challenging year, allow me inject a bit of hope and recollection. (1/6)
In #2020, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of German Reunification. Millions of people worldwide joined us in remembering the moment in 1990 when East and West returned together as a proud democratic state.

America's role in that moment cannot be overstated. (2/2)
#2020 was also another Year of German-American Friendship facilitated by our wonderful colleagues @wunderbar2gethr. Despite the restrictions and safety measures, events were held nationwide virtually, highlighting our common ties and shared values.

In #2020, I had the privilege of hosting five episodes of "The Ambassador Meets" with outstanding guests, and more importantly, outstanding participation from you, our audience.

Your questions for me and the guest made the whole endeavor worthwhile. More to come in 2021! (4/6)
This is the year we felt fear, lost loved ones, adjusted to a dreadful 'new normal' for the sake of our neighbors.

We are forever changed.

We are also hopeful. German-American cooperation between Pfizer and Germany's BioNTech resulted in the first available vaccine in the US.
2020 has left me both enlivened and saddened- ever appreciative of the embrace and warmth of our American friends, even if felt only over virtual platforms.

May 2021 bring us more hope and cooperation!

#ByeBye2020! (6/6)
