Bevrijdingsdag (Liberation Day)


Every 5th of May, is a National holiday here in Holland to celebrate the Bevrijdingsdag (Liberation Day). Holland was liberated from Nazi (German) occupation in World War II with the help of Canadian troops with British and American armies too... I've seen in TV here some of the old videos during World War II... it's sad...

Today, I did not have a chance to watch in TV, the particular activity for today. I just tried to browse in the Nationaal Comite 4 en 5 mei. I told my husband that if the Liberation Day here in Holland was during World War II and ends in 1945... In Philippines, the Independece Day which is celebrated every 12th of June, ends the Spanish colonization for 300 years in Philippines in 1898.
