On May 5, the Netherlands celebrated the 75th anniversary of their liberation from Nazi occupation by Canadian, British and American armed forces. The below video shows greetings from various ambassadors posted to the Netherlands, including the US Ambassador, Peter Hoekstra.




As part of the 2018  commemoration (below video), a ceremony was held at the American Cemetery at Margraten. Surviving family members attended and brought photographs of their dead soldiers, which were placed on the graves.
