SATURDAY, MAY 29, 2004 GROSBEEK, HOLLAND - NATIONAL LIBERATION MUSEUM |
Grosbeek - National Liberation Museum Located on the outskirts of Grosbeek | National Liberation Museum Building Built in the shape of a parachute, it sits atop what had been a mine field. To it's right was a German machinegun emplacement. | Market Garden Drop Zone Behind the museum are the very fields where the 508th dropped and glider forces landed. To the left, off photo, stands Groesbeek's Remembrance Stone | WW-ii Re-enactors The first of many that we would see on this tour. Cpl. Rokus Veroorn (L) and 1st Sgt. Norbert De Groot take great pride in the authenticity of their garb |
The New and The Old 505 Re-enactor Norbert De Groot chats with
John Moore, a 317th PIR (101st Abn) Vietnam veteran | Robin Hood An unlikely nickname is shown on the side of this Sherman tank, perhaps owing to the 508th's training site in Nottingham, England | Taped interviews Another sight to become familiar with - TV camera crews seeking veteran commentary | Personal TV Crew Dedicated coverage signified by our own tour badge in the windshield reading "STATIC LINE TOUR, JOYOUS RETURN, 1944 - 2004" |
