Last year Mary and I went to D Day 75 events. In the fall of 2019, we bought two bags of tulips from the Royal Canadian Legion and planted them in our front garden. They are memorial tulips remembering the thousand Canadian troops who helped liberate Amsterdam on May 5th, 1945, and the thousands who died liberating Holland from Nazi oppression. Our grandson Justin Greaves took the photos. He does freelance work now after several years with the Toronto Star organization.
