Soon enough Remembrance Day, a paid holiday, will be upon us. A day to think about and remember all the lives lost, those of young men some 75-plus years ago who had dreams of love, life, family, and freedom. They made the ultimate sacrifice to stop the Nazis.
The Netherlands was under Nazi occupation for five years. In the Battle of the Scheldt, where Canadian forces played a leading role, more than 6,000 lives were lost; in the Battle of Arnhem, over 1,400 died.
