Netherland Liberation 80th Anniversary

One of the six U.S. veterans that Delta flew to commemorate the liberation of the Netherlands walks with the King and Queen of the Netherlands.

Delta partnered with Best Defense Foundation to fly a group of six veterans back to the very battlegrounds where they had fought for freedom eight decades ago. These veterans, with ages averaging 100 years, made the journey from the United States to the Netherlands to honor the sacrifices made by their comrades and to reflect on the impact of their efforts on liberating Europe.
