World War II Cemetery

[high psi]

Well I moved to The Netherlands this past week for three years and went to my first WWII cemetery in Margraten, The Netherlands

It was pretty moving... at 12 and 3 music plays from the top of the tower which is 100ft high. There is a chapel on the other side which was amazing... once I entered I could here my footstep echo bounce off the walls... Usually they keep it immaculate, no leaves on the lawn or anything. . .

The people in this cemetery were all recovered from Maastricht, Eindhoven, Grave, Nijmegen, Arnhem, Julich, Linnich, Geilekrichen, Krefeld, Venlo, Rheinberg, Cologne, Wesel, and Ruhr.

I also have pictures of the part of my five day spread of partying over here for Carnival. Amazing time.

Yeah, I'll probably go to Normandy this summer and a lot of other Cemeteries around here. There are a couple within only a few hours drive from me.
