    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.

    Recited poem at Sunset March 708: BLACK WHITE. We, the ones who stand here. For them, the ones who fell. A mission, for the night. For them, no new day. History must be remembered. So that they will never be forgotten.   HM, Veteran of the Day 708

    On Saturday, May 5th, 2018, I was honored to be recognized as the Veteran of the Day and to forever become a part of the Sunset March. As a Veteran of the United Stated military, it was humbling to see the dedication made each and every day to recognize the sacrifice made by those 48 US paratroopers on 20 September 1944. I can not put to words the feeling I had while walking the bridge. A mix of sadness for their ultimate sacrifice but a feeling of pride. I am proud to be an American Veteran but I am also so proud of the people of Nijmegen for the creation of this amazing bridge and so proud of the Dutch Veterans who have taken on the task of forever remembering the sacrifices of so many during a time that seems so long ago. May we never forget those sacrifices that allow us all to live as free people today. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the Sunset March. I will forever remember that evening and forever be proud to call myself a Sunset Marcher!
