The Arnhem flower girl
Ran across this article while checking my email.
It is about a young girl now in her 80's, still paying tribute to the British soldier who liberated her town.

In this day and age where it is hard to find many who care about the fallen, this wonderful woman still cares.
God Bless Her!

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.

Great story and what a lady !!
I saw the article in the newspaper yesterday,and then today we have this despicable act - also in Holland. The Commonwealth war graves at Mierlo, Eindhoven after a sickening attack by mindless vandals. Such a contrast... those who still care and recognise the sacrifice made by servicemen in the fight for freedom, and those who could not care less.
