This weekend, the mrs and me, stayed in Bergen aan Zee, The Netherlands... Just a long weekend quality time together... We found out that in the village 4 km's down the road used to be a WW2 German Luftwaffe airfield... It seemed that the whole area was bombed to yingyang and back during WW2. We also found out that the airmen who lost their lives, getting shot down in that area, where buried in that village... So that Saturday we went to pay our respects to these guys... Ages: 20 - 22 - 26 not older then 30... Nationalities: Canadian, American, Polish, New Zealanders and Australian... In total about 250 airmen are burried there... I still thinks it's remarkable that a 22 year old kiwi wants to fight on the other side of the world to liberate people... Thank you guys...
