And this is why I love the Dutch! (Look how beautiful a gesture this is!)

Thank you Silk,

It is important to us to know that the memory of our grandfathers' and great-grandfathers' generation is respected still in Europe. Our governments contribute (I am sure) to the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission around the world, which I have seen in France, Gallipoli, and Kanchanaburi in Thailand. It adds a real human dimension at the personal level to know of such happenings as the pipers of Holland, the daily evening service at the Menin Gate in Ypres, and the inscription above the school in Villers-Bretonneux, "N'oubliez jamais l'Australie". It means a lot to know that ordinary people remember.
