Very touching article. The Belgians had much to lose at that time, thus memories and history carry much more weight there. Meanwhile, we in the West take it more for granted with each passing year.

I'm glad Canada's capital at least keeps the tradition of commemorating things like the liberation of Holland and the Battle of Britain each year.

Thanks Baron!
