Well. Tomorrow we will put the new monument on it's place. It's awesome but I won't share some pictures yet. Please be patient untill Monday after the inauguration. Everything worked. We have found fundraisers (a lot of people from the village) and the monument is ready.
I am really looking forward to this weekend. Saturday there is some kind of memorial walk wwith reenactors, an airfield for a piper, roadblocks and things like that. On Sunday there is a convoy. At the start of the convoy there will be a fly-over from a p-51 Mustang. About 10 veterans of the Old Hickory will attend the convoy and the inauguration of the monument.After the inauguration there is time to have a view at the vehicles and there is a chance to get some food and a drink (or 2

Thank you all for your kind replies.
To Vee: There is a convoy before the inauguration. That convoy will start around 3 PM. I can't give you exact details because the veterans will come around that time. There is also a fly-over from a P-51 Mustang. If you'll come you'll have to park your car in a field. That field is between the monument and our village. That place is called "Onderschey" as you can see on the Google Earth map on our website. You'll have to park your car in that large field. I think the best option for you is to drive towards Maastricht, Then you'll have to leave the highway and follow the road towards Cadier en Keer / Margraten. (You'll pass the American cemetery). Drive through Margraten and you'll see the signs with Noorbeek. It's about 10 minutes from Margraten. Come early because we expect a lot of visitors. There is some room in our village to drink and eat. I don't know how well they can speak French. I don't speak French, sorry.
