31-03-2018: Special Sunset March to accentuate the Sunset Marches in April 2018

2 April 2018 DJ Comments 0 Comment

A very special initiative. Members of the Dutch Veterans bikers Association adopted the Sunset Marches in April. Each and every day a member of this club of veterans and riders of motorbikes walks the Sunset March. On Saturday March 31 a mutual Sunset March of these veterans was held as start. On April 30 another mutual Sunset March will be held to fulfill this month’s requirement.

Sir, Good morning! As a proud veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division’s 2nd Battalion 325th AIR and 2nd Battalion 505th PIR, it was an honor and privilege to do the Sunset March. The Dutch do not forget! I wish I could express how humbling and honorable that is. It means everything. Most Americans seem to have forgotten that those men traded all of their tomorrows for our today. The Dutch don’t forget and in doing so, honor themselves and all fallen allied soldiers! Respectfully yours, Lawrence LundtUS Army (retired)82nd Airborne/19th Special Forces/USASOC SOD-G

On Sunday 10th Sept we were passing by the Windmill near Afferden, at 1 Kerkdam. It was having an open day, so we stopped to have a look (myself and my wife were both on motorcycles.Just as we were leaving, i started to talk to a man called “Stan” who told me all about the Sunset march. I have a fair interest in WW2 and the liberation but I had not heard about the action by the 82nd Airborne near the bridge, so i was very interested to hear about it. I hope that the next time that we are visiting (we live in Scotland) that we will get the chance to see the march. My gratitude to the veterans who honour the fallen with their evening march.
