Do you know that Dutch schoolchildren clean the tombstones in WW2 cemeteries every year? They clean the stone and rub sand into the engravings to make them easy to read. May 4th is remembrance day. They still have parades and memorials to remember the allied war dead.

So anyway now we're the bad guys. I'm wondering what celebrations will be like this year.
