the wargraves in the netherlands

This year we celebrate the 75th year  life in freedom in the Netherlands.
This gratitude to the efforts from many a brave men from the UK, Canada and the other alies.
They where the one that gave their lives for ours.
These men find their last resting place, here where they lost their lives.

Now we learned that there are protocol's they follow , By the CWCG (commonwealth War Graves Commission). We found out there is not much respect for the victims and relatives.

They take all the things from the graves that where placed by the graves at an amount of time. They bring them to a storage and keep them there for a while, and after this time they will be removed and destroyed. And we find out that the belongings there are put at the graves where meant  to keep this in honor.

At this moment they are working on a visitors center project at the Canadian and English Cemetery in Bergen op Zoom. They have the opportunity to keep these items and show them at the visitors. 

Also they decided that about may 2020 the graves will only be cleaned the top half of the graves. The messages on the graves at the bottom from relatives will be faded away because of that trough time. We find this scandalous and dishonorable. This is why we want action, we want:

1. A full cleaning of the graves at least 2 times a year.
2. Everything that is placed by the graves must never be destroyed, but given to visitors centers or museum. 
3. When there is no location at this moment available for the items, the items will be saved until we find a good location for the items to keep them.

We must keep in our mind that this men and there relatives deserved our respect for ever, Because of them we can say we live and we are free.
