Remembrance Day May 4

When in Amsterdam...May 4 is Remembrance Day. The day remembers those who experienced war and peace-missions. Men,women, children, and animals who suffered are not forgotten.

The Kinr of the Netherlands makes his yearly trip to Amsterdam's Dam Square. His Highness brings together family, students and political dignitaries of city, province and state.


Flowers are laid at the National Monument on the east end of Dam Square. A young student whom represents the country's young, reads a poem of their hand.

At 2000hrs the bells toll throughout the land and two minutes silence is observed by the country.

Lest we forgot.

When in Amsterdam....respect!
