'Market Garden' - Michael Yon

From Michael Yon, "Market Garden," a photo-essay of a Netherlands trip for World War II reenactments and remembrance of Operation Market Garden. A parade was held in the evening of the second day of events:

General Petraeus arrived and said hello to each veteran, some of whom shook his hand while others saluted. If General Petraeus had any idea of the hectic schedule that was still unfolding, he’d probably have wanted to get straight back into the war. It seemed like everyone in Holland wanted to see the vets, and despite that the old soldiers were in their eighties and nineties, they kept going and going.

And not to be missed: There's an interview with General Petraeus at the dispatch, here. Also, be sure to click through to the conclusion. You'll get direct reports on the war's progress you won't find anywhere else. Ultimate decision time in Washington is now.
