Still Sunday. What a magnificent day.  The Walk is now over - a wonderful turnout, weather was perfect. The day started with a ceremony which can honestly be described as stirring. 

John J - The Vet - was there in uniform along withe the formation from the 101 ADBF.  Dignitaries from the area were in attendance.  Monuments were unveiled - tributes made in French and English.

After the ceremony, many, many people sought out The Vet to shake hands, say thanks - sometimes at great length - and get a picture or autograph. Or both.  Or several.

    It should also be said that there were folks here from all over the area - so many places I don't want to leave anyone out - but here is a sampling:  Czech Republic, Holland, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Germany and the UK.  It must be conveyed that the Belgians and others certainly have not forgotten what happened here 67 years ago.

Hope these few pics will help convey some of the flavor of the day's events.  It was nearly an indescribable experience.  More later - what a day.
