Walking arm-in-arm with the Dutch queen, American WWII veteran Kenneth Thayer returned to the Dutch village he liberated 80 years ago, honored in a touching ceremony.
Thayer, now 99, was accompanied by Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima as he revisited the iconic locations of his heroic past, reflecting on the liberation.
This event marks the beginning of nearly a year of commemorative events celebrating the Netherlands' liberation from Nazi occupation, fostering remembrance and connection between generations.
