101st US Airborne Memorial Gift to the Dutch
The Memorial, which is in Sint Oedenrode, was initiated and funded by 101st Airborne veterans in recognition of the Dutch resistance against the Germans and the help that the 101st had had from the local population. It was the idea of veteran John Seney and was designed by Frans Alkemade, Andre van Bergeyk and Trudy Peters-Broos. It was unveiled on 21 September 1994 by Lieutenant-General Harry Kinnard who in 1944 commanded the 501st PIR which landed in the wrong place, almost on top of Castle Heeswijk. The inscription is Dedicated to the Dutch people in grateful appreciation and around the monument are scenes of the landings in bronze relief. Date: 2001
