Herdenking 101e Airborne Divisie 2019 - 1

Even though commemorations were held

since 1982 at the Monument at the Drielse Rijndijk,

the story of WW2 at the Betuwe was nearly lost.

In 2008 the Foundation 'Never Forget Them'

restarted the annual commemorations

with the involvement of the local schools.

This way the activities of 

the 101 Airborne Division are remembered 

and the more than 250 fallen soldiers honored.

This year the ambassador of the USA,

Piet Hoekstra, was present.
