Yesterday's Weapons Forums

We do not celebrate Memorial Day every last Monday in May in the Netherlands.
We remember our soldiers who gave their lives on May 4th each year.
May 4th was the last day of the war in 1945 over here.
On May 5th we celebrate Liberation Day.
That doesn’t mean we do not honor the American soldiers who gave their lives for the liberation of Europe.
Just outside the town of Margraten, in the south of the Netherlands, you can find the only American cemetery.
The ceremony is covered by the media every year.

I found some info and a short movie about the cemetery.
I haven’t found the coverage of the Margraten ceremony 2008 yet.
I’ll keep checking the internet and update the info ASAP.
