The award reads: “In recognition of and thanks for your dedication, passion, energy, and expertise in serving and advising the Embassy and the United States of America for over 30 years, and your exemplary support of bilateral relations between the U.S. and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, particularly in preserving the memory of the sacrifices of U.S. troops in liberating Luxembourg during World War II”.
