The World Through My Eyes

Remembrance Day...

Liberty is not taken for granted...
Today is 4 May and we remember the victims of World War II and the peacekeeping operations thereafter. 
This year there was extra attention at the memorial for Captain-pilot Michael Donkervoort. Michael was in 2006 from Volkel Air Base in Afghanistan on a mission when he crashed with his plane.

Because of their sacrifice, we now live in freedom

Lest we forget ...
