Thanks To Those Who Serve Our Country

This monument in Zwolle, Netherlands is in honor of my father's B-17 flight crew that was shot down during WWII.  The pilot made the ultimate sacrifice by staying with the plane to avoid crashing into the town of Zwolle. Several of the crew members including my father survived but were captured and remained POW's in Germany for the remainder of the war.

Thanks to all the men and women who have served or are currently serving to give us the freedoms that we enjoy in our great country.
