Liberation day in Holland

Nothing was going on at her place so I watched TV and held her hand while she dozed. It was a default visit and does not require much description.  What I am really excited about is a new version of Taps that was given to me. This version of Taps is new to me.  In fact I did not know there was another version.  This new version was written by an Italian.  Please listen and see if you don't agree that it is an event that makes you fully understand what it means to die for your country.  

Look at these baby faces and remember that it is these kind of kids  you send to fight your wars.  

St. Avold, France 1945 25,000

At the time I took this  in 1945 at St Avold France 25,000 Americans were buried here.  Many of them  just like the boys in the pictures you see above.

Each year in   Holland  they commemorate Liberation Day.  On May 5 this year Holland remembered  those who died liberating Holland from the German occupation. What makes the ceremony exceptional this year is the little 13 year old angel who played Taps and the beautiful version of Taps she played. I think  you  will get the full impact of the sacrifice these men made for  their country when you hear it.    Click on the link and  see for yourself.
