Afterwards, the three of us went through the Flander's Field Museum. Very sobering moments were these on this 85th year at a pivitol place where the Great War was fought, "The War to End all Wars". There literally dozens of burial grounds dedicated to the British Common Wealth soldiers who fought and died there in all directions.
Over the past four Memorial Days, here in Europe with my sons, we place flags on American Graves at Margaraten, The Netherlands - but this year we visited Flander's Fields and just two weeks ago Verdum, France. We have also visited Omaha and retraced the Ranger March to Point Du Hoc on the invasion beaches of D-Day and the German Memorial to fallen soldiers in Achen, Germany ("where no soldier is buried alone but rather in pairs, so that one might not spend eternity alone.")
I can only say that after standing with the British on this day, that there is at least one Nation other than the USA which is freedom loving and willing sacrafice.
