I have not seen such a plaque but Graf is a large training area. We had a plaque commemorating Elvis's service on the kaserne and lots of memorabilia scattered about.
American tank crews stationed across Germany routinely travelled to Graf to for weapons qualification training. We used to go twice a year to train tank gunnery. We would ship the tanks and troops by rail, though some soldiers convoyed the trucks on the autobahn.
