On Saturday May 27, the evening before Memorial Day 2017, the American flag was raised\u00a0in front of community center Oos Heim in Margraten. The Foundation for Adopting Graves\u00a0American Cemetery Margraten organised that evening a concert to welcome and honor all\u00a0American guests in our municipality that came all the way from the States to visit the\u00a0American Cemetery for Memorial Day. The concert was also meant for all grave adopters.\u00a0Conductor Jos Dobbelstein with our local harmony Concordia performed a special musical\u00a0program. On a big screen above the orchestra videos were shown giving the music an extra\u00a0dimension. Vocal support was given by solists Lien Haegeman (soprano) en Erik Moonen.\u00a0Deputy mayor Jos Custers expressed his gratitude for the liberation and mentioned\u00a0the sacrifice that both the American soldiers and their families in America gave for us. The\u00a0American visitors present were welcomed by an standing ovation.\u00a0Mr John Wessels, deputy secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission\u00a0(ABMC) in Paris expressed his admiration for all the grave adopters who commemorated the\u00a0American soldiers since 1945 with flowers and a prayer. He was personally moved by this\u00a0dedication. On behalf of ABMC he awarded three former members of the Adoption\u00a0Foundation with a Certificate of Appreciation and a medal. Fien Opreij, Jacques Aussems and\u00a0Jo Purnot were honored for their hard work during more than a decade for the adoption\u00a0program and with that for the American-Dutch relationship.<\/p>\n

Before the break the concert was about war with film music, the second part had a lighter\u00a0program with Glenn Miller and a liberation medley with Vera Lynns\u2019 \u201cWe\u2019ll meet again\u201d. The\u00a0audience (full house) was thrilled by the performance of solists Lien Haegeman and Erik\u00a0Moonen together as well by the professional sound of the orchestra.\u00a0The Foundation for Adopting Graves American Cemetery Margraten is grateful for all those\u00a0that contributed to this wonderful concert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
