Memorial Day Ceremony in the Netherlands - an Update


I've blogged many times before about the Field of Honor project in the Netherlands who memorializes service personnel that were killed in the line of duty during World War 2.  They had originally planned a 75 year memorial event for early May that had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. 

On Memorial Day, they held a small event for 30 people that was attended by the King and had a flyover.  They reached their goal of obtaining 7500 photos of the interred; thank you to all that helped with the research!

You can learn more about the organization and the ceremony here and here.

They have set a new goal of 8000 photos for the larger event that was postponed until next spring (hopefully).  Please continue to send photos by checking their website
