I definitely had some issues with the language barrier, but it was great to have a chance to do the walk. Please pass along my thanks to your entire group. My father was aware of the support from the people of The Netherlands and he was very appreciative of it. He always wanted to return here someday, but he never got the chance. It meant a lot to me to be able to come in his place. Alan Driver

North Shore Legacy Tour: 80th Anniversary of D-Day On June first 2024 our 273 canadian students, teachers and local tour guides participated in the daily Sunset March held in Nijmegen at the place the Waalcrossing took place on September 20th 1944. Each evening a veteran walks the same route using the newly build bridge call The Crossing. 48 lamppost join the veteran and all the participants from south to north on its way to the famour town of Arnhem. Both the crossing and the battles in Arnhem are captured in the movie a Bridge to far. And as part of our tour for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we joined a group of about 15 Norwegian Veterans doing the Sunset March. They were also heading for Normandy, but on their motorcycles. Our full journey can be seen here. https://www.eftours.ca/educational-tour/DDEC?utm_source=brochure&utm_medium=offline&utm_campaign=tourcode Craig Caldwell Director of Schools Anglophone North School District, NB Canada

Leading the Sunset March as the Veteran of the Day alongside fellow veterans from Norway, the Netherlands, and Canada is both an honor and a tribute to those who sacrificed their lives crossing the Waal River. The march and the ceremony at the memorial stones are profoundly moving moments to remember our fallen comrades and to reflect on the value of peace today. Peace requires continuous effort and investment from society and government, but the cost of war is far greater—lives, democracy, and freedom. I am deeply grateful to Team 31 for all they do to honor those who gave their lives in the crossing of the Waal River. LTC John SolemNorwegain Army

Thank You! It was an honour to serve as the Veteran of the Day for the Sunset March. As a former member of the 8th Canadian Hussars with a number of WW2 8th Hussars buried in Groesbeek and the grandson of a soldier who served with the Canadian Scottish Regiment buried in Groesbeek, taking part was incredibly meaningful for me and my family. Thank you Team Sunset March and Team31. Sean Wallace

Sir, Good morning! As a proud veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division’s 2nd Battalion 325th AIR and 2nd Battalion 505th PIR, it was an honor and privilege to do the Sunset March. The Dutch do not forget! I wish I could express how humbling and honorable that is. It means everything. Most Americans seem to have forgotten that those men traded all of their tomorrows for our today. The Dutch don’t forget and in doing so, honor themselves and all fallen allied soldiers! Respectfully yours, Lawrence LundtUS Army (retired)82nd Airborne/19th Special Forces/USASOC SOD-G
