Airborne Cemetary in Oosterbeek, not far from my parent's home. Roo and I visited the cemetary on May 4th, which is our version of Veterans Day.

'Operation Market Garden' would involve the United States 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, the Commonwealth 1st Airborne Division and the Polish Parachute Brigade. On 17 September 1944, the 1st Airborne Division began landing west of Arnhem, but German resistance, bad weather and problems with supplies and reinforcements led to heavy losses, and their objectives were not taken. They were forced to form a perimeter at Oosterbeek which they held stubbornly until 25 September, when it was decided to withdraw the remnants of the division across the lower Rhine. Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery contains the graves of most of those killed during the September landings, and many of those killed in later fighting in the area. There are now 1,680 Commonwealth servicemen of the Second World War buried or commemorated in the cemetery. 245 of the burials are unidentified and two casualties are commemorated by special memorials.

Linda, this is a popular magazine dedicated to you, with the cutest guy ever on the cover.

Very Dutch: Old willow trees. They cut the branches every year to use the reeds for baskets etc.
In the background the hard fought over bridge over the Rijn. Made famous in the book/movie: One Bridge to Far. (my brother and Rob were extras )
