Cool indeed. I was unaware of that fact.
Darn, this place is good, not only for gaming, but also for learning. :up:

You're confusing Remebrance Day with Remembrance of the Death (Dodenherdenking) which is on the 4th of May in the Netherlands where we commemorate all the Dutch civilian and service men who died during World War 2.

@HunterICX

Since we were no party in WWI (we were neutral) we don't have a remembrance day for that war.

The only war related remembrance day in the Netherlands is the one I mentioned in my previous reply to Jimbuna's remark on "Remembrance Day in Arnhem".

I'm not feeling confused at all. :03:

11/11 is traditionally the opening day of the carnival season, with clown ceremonies, and cities' townhalls hijacked by jesters.

History is a bitch.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:39 PM.
