Where are some places Veterans Day is celebrated?
The battle of Arnhem, is remembered on the first Saturday of September in Oosterbeek, near Arnhem, where scouts, school children, veterans, from Poland, Denmark, Holland, Britain, Canada and the Among other nations, come together to walk the "Airborne March". This is the route, which the allied soldiers followed, to get from their dropping point near Oosterbeek, to the Rhine Bridge at Arnhem. (now called the John Frost Bridge, after the officer leading the defence of the Bridge at Arnhem. School children in AArnhem, get told the story of the battle of Arnhem, when they are in the 5th year of primary school. On the day of the remembrance, they are asked to bring a bunch of flowers to the War Cemetery in Oosterbeek. They than choose a grave where they lay their flowers. Then at 11.minutes past 11 o'clock, they make the a promise, "never to forget and always to return". The school children will then the 10 kilometer walk along part of the route , which the allies took to get to the bridge at Arnhem. Although I now no longer live in the Netherlands, even today, I always try and get back to Oosterbeek, on the day of the Airborne marches, remembering the words of the promise above. My mother used to say, "remember, if it was not for the Allies, we would be German now." And no Dutchman/woman, would want to be German by choice or force.
