As a member of the Canadian Forces I think I'm not alone in saying this: We would do it all over again if we had to.
And we as Dutch would do it for the Canadians!!
Thnx
Admirable
As a dutch person, i thank you for freeying my lovely grandparents. They speak so often of the day they were liberated. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Thank you for your kind words. We love the Canadians for their devotion and their help in saving our country. Bless you.
to any canadian who ever visits the netherlands, say your canadian and i can guarentee you will be treated like a celebrity. we dutch people shall remember forever what you guys did, cheers for Canada!
From experience backpacking through Europe when I was younger, the Canadian flag patch on your backpack is like a VIP pass all over the place. I rarely had to stay at a hostel because everywhere I went people were outwardly insistent with their hospitality after learning I was Canadian.
I don't think people from the Americas really have the frame of reference to understand the reverence people feel for the liberators.
@@CorporateG0th lol they definitely do, since it’s common for American backpackers to use Canadian flags in Europe now
Thank you canada. From a grandchild born from canadian dutch inheritance. thank you
lol jij ook al!
my Mother RIP ,was "freed by polish canedians, father and most uncels, where in DEUTSCHLAND ,that time maar ruttes pa en ooms,?

dutch person here. too all those heroes. thank you. thank you so so much.
I'm American and I am absolutely astounded of this international relationship.
God Bless Netherlands and God Bless Canada!!!
Offcourse we are STILL grateful in 2018! My grandmother told me about the Canadians like I told my children. It's important not to forget to be saved by another country having no other reason but TO HELP. I'm born in 1961 and I also feel grateful to Canada. THANK YOU Mr White!! And we still have a Canadian/Dutch Princess Margriet (means Daisy)!
who not you toen was jij nog niet op deze aaardkloot
@@ariari4133 jij wel dan?
I was born in 2000, even my grandparent barely remember the war (they were todlers at the time). This doesn't mean we can forget. I feel very connected to the libaration. And 4 and 5 may, our schools and the mountains of books being Published to this day, will make sure our future genarations won't forget eighter. Thank you for you secrafice!
@@femkevanwageningen6068 So, they wisely - Plan Ahead - so future generations - "Lest We Forget" TJ Quinlan from Coniston On Take care keep well God Bless you all!
It is wonderful to see a WW11 veteran being honored! They fought and died for our FREEDOM, never forget!
Absolutely and beautifully put as our veterans never always get the credit that they are worthy of as without their sacrifice in the name of king,empire and dominion who knows what our life’s would be like.
Heb jij en anderen ook maar enig idee wat en hoe dingen gebeurd zijn ,?? denk t nie,geen flauw idee waar was pappie rutte,(waarschijnlijk)een landverrader,de appel valt niet ver van de boom. wat weten wij nou citaat in die paoling in n emmer snot
11 world wars is far too many.
World war eleven?
Did you mean WW2 or WWII?
As a dutch person, i thank you Canada for freeying my lovely grandparents. They speak so often of the day they were liberated. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Thank you Netherlands for making the men there at home we love you
Should I forgive our minister president for his very BAD ENGLISH? I feel embarassed.
@@lienbijs1205 His English perfectly fine, and more importantly, very sincere... that’s what matters! Thank YOU Netherlands, for remembering
No thank you guys! We won’t forget that we owe our freedom to you guys! God bless you and God bless Canada🇳🇱💙🇨🇦
Disappointed this has only 21,307 views... a lot more people, specifically Canadians and Dutch, should see this

We love you Canada!🇨🇦❤️🇳🇱
We love you, too 🤗 💖 🇨🇦
Thank you Canada
The two thumbs up... Thank you Canada from Amsterdam
The humblest generation, that did the most terrifying and unbelievable things to save the world from darkness.
God bless that man. ❤️🙏🏽
and please let us not forget about the hero LEO MAJOR and what he did alone for the town of zwolle, THANK U canada, america, england - our liberators, we will NEVER forget, even i'm only 49 years young i will say THANK U from the bottom of my heart
Thank you sir White and Canada!
This is amazing! Very proud to be Dutch/Canadian!!!!
and let's not forget, part of our royal family took refuge in Canada and the crownprincess went into labour there. Canada changed a law to declare (part of) the hospital Dutch so that the baby princess could be born Dutch. one of the coolest thing I've ever heard a country do.
So emotional and such a humble man. I'm tearing up watching this.
We Will always be thankfull to Canada for what you did for us,
That Will never change
Thank you from the bottom of the heart of every dutch person ❤❤❤❤❤
Proud grandson of a liberator, I wanna travel the Netherlands
Thank you Canada!❤️🇨🇦
My Uncle lies with his bomber crew in Holland. They are remembered, loved and well cared for by the citizens of Dalen. It is a great sorrow that l was never able to visit Holland with my dad and see the towns he helped Liberate from tyranny. I think we both would have enjoyed that. Thank you for remembering and honouring their sacrifice.
I am from that village. the graves are well cared for. if you want to, i can send some pictures in private
@eroentje94 bless your heart, you, and the townsfolk. I can not express how thankful I am that Uncle Walt and his crew are loved and cared for. Around 20 years ago, l saw photographs of their graves and the ceremony that's held to remember them. Someone was kind enough to show them to me. Thank you for making the offer. His photo is at my office desk at work, l remember him every day, and it's comforting to know there's good people out there like you who also remember them.
@@exJacktar after having a little think, I think I remember the exact place the bomber crashed but I might be wrong because from the stories I've been told people always said it was a US B24 liberator, but now I'm thinking it's a RAF Lancaster since that should've been commonwealth. Can't expect Dutch farmers to have material recognition, especially back then. I do know it came down at night and usually those were RAF operations.
@eroentje94 the German who brought down Uncle Walt had 6 victories that night. 3 Lancaster and 3 Halifax. Of the 6, only Walt's Halifax fell near Dalen at 2:45 am. Herbert Lütje was the German Ace. He was awarded the Knight's Cross for this night. It's strange to read about this guy on Wikipedia, see his photo, and read his record. I don't feel animosity towards him. Both were doing their job, and unfortunately, Walt lost in the encounter. In the mid-1980s, the last surviving member of the crew was kind enough to meet my family and tell us some of that night. He said they had magneto problems, which caused the bomber to fall back between the first and second wave of aircraft. This meant the German defences were engaged and made it easier to find them. Walt was #28, so Herbert was already a seasoned veteran and at the top of his game. It was Walt's 6th mission. Fortunes of War.
@gurka321 absolutely, an old Dutch joke that my grandfather used to tell me, who was a teenager during this time is, there's a sign in Dutch saying no drinking water, the German guy asks what does this mean, and the Dutch guy goes you've gotta take it down with 2 hands 😂😂😂
Thank you for your Service and liberating The Dutch people Mr.White 🇨🇦
Wow how powerful!
Anytime Anywhere ❤
What a beautiful speech 🎤.
fun fact: Don white is my great grandfather he died last year in June love you grandpa 🕊
Please accept my deepest condolences 😭 🙏 💖🇨🇦

Thank you for fighting Nazis sir :)
They want our real estate.
not the point of the video, I know, but his accent really makes me gringe!
Are you kidding? He speaks better English than most North Americans.
Antifa hero
Yeah, but not the kind that refused to stop Hitler from winning a majority nor one that divides countries with the nazis.

@@Brozius2512 uw mag uiteraard uw eigen interpretatie van dingen hebben
@@ariari4133 Denk je nou echt dat ik je geloof dat iemand anders die dingen schrijft en jij niet??? Jij bent gewoon een leugenaar, erg zielig van je.
@@Brozius2512 dat.uw vocabulaire op kleuterschool niveau zit is wel duidelijk.Maar wat u met de geringe woordenschat duidelijk probeert te maken is een groot ? Misschien dat het u wel lukt om het een en te onderbouwen,zou niet alleen mijn maar meerdere mensen, enigszins duidelijk kunnen maken punt een wat die paar woorden achter elkaar betekenen, en zo mogelijk duidelijk proberen te maken wat u bedoelt,ik heb helaas geen flauw idee waar het om gaat, tot zover inhoudelijk. eigenlijk niks.maar als u volwassen wordt ??? hoor ik graag waar het om gaat ,het moge u goed gaan, wat ik ten zeerste betwijfel !!!! En die eerste komt inderdaad van mijn Android telefoon gt 3 of zo, ?!
%$#@sakes another bill for Canadian taxpayers,
I'd like to see Merkle come to Canada to apologize for the mess Germans started in 1939.
