Happy Liberation Day! My father, of Dutch extraction, was in the US Army, (82nd Airborne) during WWII. At one point he was in Arnheim and elsewhere in Holland. Later he was transferred to the 84th Infantry and fought on the front lines in Germany (1944-45). Some years ago I visited Arnheim during one of several trips to Holland.

And today a lot of people remember the murder of Pim Fortuyn and there are calls to mark this day as a day to remember we got freedom of speech.

I know Venlo. I live in Helden, a town 24 km away from Venlo. I also think I know which company you work for.

Yes, but only with a permit, which is hard to obtain. Hunters can have buckshot rifles without a permit though.

The south of the Netherlands were liberated earlier, that part mostly by paratroopers from the 101st and 82nd. Polish, Canadian and UK troops did their part too.
Near Eindhoven there is a Airborne museum too.
8.000 US troops are buried in Margraten, were there will be a remembrance May 25.

Miss that guy. What would it be great with him as our MP. May 6 will be a day to remember we got a thing called 'freedom of speech'.
