Paratroopers remember a big fight from the past

Many years ago, there was a big fight called World War Two. Soldiers from countries that were friends jumped from planes into a place called the Netherlands. They wanted to fight the enemy and win. Now, 80 years later, soldiers from many countries will jump from planes again to remember that day. They will land in the same place where the old soldiers landed. This jump is to remember a special plan called Operation Market Garden. The plan did not work, but people still remember it.

Some soldiers who died in that old fight were put in the ground this week. People put flags on their boxes and carried them. Family members of these soldiers felt sad but proud. They were happy that many people came to show respect. The soldiers who died were very young when they fought in the war. People found their bodies after many years and now they can rest in peace.

People in the Netherlands do not forget the soldiers who tried to help them. They have a big walk every year where many people remember the soldiers. They walk past places that are important from the fight. It is a way to teach children and remember the past. People feel it is important to talk about what happened. They want to remember the brave people and the hard times from the war.
