2 More youtube movies including the P-51 Mustang fly-over.
I hope you'll enjoy it. I don't know who made the movies but sadly enough he didn't join us at the monument.

It gladdens my heart to see the foregoing text, pictures and videos remembering events after 65 years. We owe these guys and those who went before so much!

I sure enjoy watching the videos etc., and want to tell you how much I (and hopefully WE - our members) appreciate the time and effort you put into all this. I'm glad you take the time to post it here on our forum.
Loved the sound of the P-51 flying overhead. Trying to imagine a whole sky filled with the sound of engines. Gave me goosebumps!

Trying to get back in touch with Bas. I sent him an email this morning and it bounced. Can anyone put me back in touch with him. Many thanks.
