@gblair, thank you, George. Finding free time in the coming week might be difficult, lots of activities going on around here to celebrate 80 years of liberation. My hometown was part of Market Garden, next Tuesday a lot of military vehicles will pass through our village again following the same route as 80 years ago.

@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros.

So today we had the Market Garden Liberation tour passing our town, which they also did exactly 80 years ago. It was really impressive to see all those vehicles still in running condition. Especially those Shermans and half trucks. Our city center did smell the entire day to fuel. Its a pity I cannot upload videos but from the pictures it should be clear how it was when they powered up their engines.

@gblair, thank you, George. The weather cooperated a lot indeed. Since I know that we don't have that many tanks in running condition, I asked around where they got them from. It seems like that lots of vehicles, not only the tanks, besides from the Netherlands, also came from volunteers in Malta, France, England, Ireland and so on. It must have been a big operation to get all those vehicles over here. Good to see that still so many people appreciate what all those men did 80 years ago to give us freedom.

What a day, my friend @johnb! Thanks for uploading those photos!

Very cool John. I would have liked to see that display. Thanks for sharing the photos.
