Remember september

In this september month in Holland we always remember the operation Market Garden which was a bridge too far at the bridge in Arnhem. In 2009 i took part in an impressive battlefieldtour in the area in Arnhem and could get a good impression about the logitic problems this operation must have had.
At the wargraves i realised that the fallen  soldiers had paid with there lives for my freedom, and i will always remember them as the greatest generation.

On 18 and 19 september i took part in the activities tot remember this battle at a museum near Eindhoven. For the foundation for information on world war two (STIWOT) i placed an information stand in the museum. There where a lot of extra activities as outside driving course with militairy vehicles.

On 15 september the BBC will remember the Battle for Britain, which is remembered by the famous words of Sir Winston Churchill : Never was so much owed by so many to so few.

We live in freedom now but we must always gard this treasure and be aware of the fact that others gave their live for it. We must continue to repect others and secure our peace with a strong defence effort.
