That's a very touching story GeeRam, a trip that you must be proud of having made and what a loss that photograph must be.
You reminded me of my trip to Flushing, when I represented my dad and laid a wreath for him in remembrance of those KOSB that were lost. It was the 75th anniversary of the battle of the Scheldt. He did several trips over the years, to visit the friends he made there. In 2014, he was 93 and didn't feel he was up to making the long flight from Canadaicon. It was a beautiful warm November day and I was proud to have done that for him. The Dutch people were wonderful and they say they will never forget the soldiers who took part in their liberation.
