I was checking out the news and thought this was pretty interesting this morning. It is neat to see other countries posting memorials like these so long after the war once more information can be dug up regarding what had happened.
It is also good to wake up to a nice news story for once.

At 87, she vividly recalls the moment the telegram arrived at her family's Hamilton, Ont., home, informing her parents that the brother she describes as "loving but quiet" was missing in action over Germany.
"I was upstairs in my bedroom, and my mother came running up and told me," Somers said.
"She kneeled at the side of the bed and said the Lord's Prayer."
"The next day my father's hair turned grey."
Summoning that memory still brings tears today, as Somers talks about the memorial to be unveiled in Germany later this month near the spot where the wreckage of her brother's Royal Canadian Air Force bomber fell to earth after it was hit by anti-aircraft fire in the early hours of July 29, 1944.
