October 6, 2004. Berlin Thunder General Manager Michael Lang and the Cheerleaders of the Berlin Thunder Dance Team visited the embassy to celebrate German-American Day with Ambassador Coats. As a symbol of German-American friendship they presented Ambassador Coats with a chocolate cake in form of a German-American football field.
German-American Day was first instituted on October 6, 1983, the tricentennial of German immigration to America. Now the president of the United States officially proclaims this day every year. It honors German-American heritage and the unique relationship that has been forged between Germany and the United States since the end of World War II.
