In September of 2019, I happened to be in the Belgian countryside, relaxing on a Sunday afternoon as a close friend drove back from Bastogne to Brussels.
We had been in Bastogne to visit the Mardasson Memorial to the Battle of the Bulge.
We had decided to divert from the fastest route to drive the old circuit at Spa.
And then we noticed in the countryside, that private homes were flying the Stars and Stripes, alongside the flag of Belgium!
It was the 75th anniversary of the Liberation.
In 2014, the Belgians had celebrated the 70th Anniversary at the Mardasson Memorial with this commemoration:
Texas Aggies Go To War - Belgium (en Francais)
Every Aggie should watch this video and be reminded of America's place in the world.
