The cemetery is in the south of the Netherlands, a lot of the graves have been adopted.

 

I've been to a 104th division MV drive in the netherlandsin 2004.

We ate at a military complex when the veterans entered.

They got a spontaniously applause which lasted a long time.

We felt honoured they joined us for a meal!

 

We will remember! You should join the celebrations in the Netherlands, almost everyone speaks English..
