Liberation day in the Netherlands is celebrated of 5 May, the day in 1945 the Germans surrendered to Charles Foulkes of Canadian I Corps at Wageningen (near where I live). I'm happy to say that today in schools in Holland, children still are taught, as I was, that we were liberated by the Canadians. That might not be strictly true (Polish and British forces also participated), but I'm still amazed how a small country achieved so much in WW2. We all owe a lot to the Canadian Heroes.
Lest we forget.
