  • Generous gift for the Sunset March Foundation.

    Mr. Evert van de Poll, owner of the Van Gelder Group, the infrastructure partner of the Netherlands, recently turned 80.For his birthday, he had set up a campaign in which his guests could make a donation to 2 charities. In the context of his 80th birthday and living in freedom for 80 years, one of these charities became our foundation. 80 years of freedom must be celebrated and everyone must be aware of this luxury. Our freedom has cost many sacrifices and still produces victims, which is why we must be grateful to veterans for ensuring this freedom. In the end, Mr. van de Poll supplemented the amount and presented a check for no less than €2,500 at his office. Mr. van de Poll: “With this contribution, I would like to express my appreciation for the impressive daily tribute that you pay to the allied soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom.”

    Dear Sunset March Team Thank you so very much for the honour of allowing our group of sons, daughters, and other relatives of the Canadian liberators of the Netherlands to partake in the emotional and meaningful Sunset March on April 30th, 2025. Particularly for me as the daughter of a Canadian Veteran, and as a Canadian Veteran myself, it was a privilege to have been selected to lead the “In Our Fathers’ Footsteps” contingent in this poignant act of remembrance. We shall never forget. Patricia M. Patricia MurphyMajor (retired)Daughter of Brigadier William MurphyCommander, First Canadian Armoured Brigade 1944 – 1945

  • 01-04-2025 Chaplain Karen Meeker

    What a solemn honor to join the Sunset March on 1 April 2025. The 82d Airborne Division was my first assignment as a US Army Chaplain in the late ’90s. I have jumped many times on the Drop Zone at Fort Bragg named in the memory of those tough, courageous paratroopers who captured the bridge over the Waal River vicinity Nijmegen during Operation Market Garden. Thank you, Peter and team, for keeping their memory alive. I commit to carrying the light of their sacrifice in word and deed. Airborne All the Way!

    I definitely had some issues with the language barrier, but it was great to have a chance to do the walk. Please pass along my thanks to your entire group. My father was aware of the support from the people of The Netherlands and he was very appreciative of it. He always wanted to return here someday, but he never got the chance. It meant a lot to me to be able to come in his place. Alan Driver
