On Thursday, April 24, former soldier and commander of the Land Forces Mart de Kruif was a guest at our information center. We think it's an honor.

“If you've experienced the war, you know one thing for sure: you don't want anyone to do this. We must not let this happen again. And yet it happens. 80 years after WWII, we are again at a crossroads. How are we going to work together for a future, reconcile? As a team with a mission. Contribute instead of just taking and taking. Not being a perpetrator, not a victim, but certainly not a spectator either. We owe that to everyone who fought for our freedom. 'Read we forget'.”

De Kruif got the volunteers at our information center thinking. In doing so, he drew on personal experiences, looked back into history with us, pointed out patterns and provided perspective! There is strength in Europe. Get started together.
