Commemoration 101st Airborne Divisie 2020

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 only a few people were allowed,
so attendance was by invitation only.
It was decided 3 schoolchildren would be present
per program item,
and the rest of the schools watched by webcam.

Even though there were some huge changes
the commemoration wasn't less respectful.

People, watching from the bridge, 
were unaware we could hear them talk very well.
