Jim Parks, a 100-year-old Canadian veteran, prepares for another visit to the Netherlands, marking 80 years since his contribution to liberating the nation from German forces. Esteemed as a local hero, Parks symbolizes the gratitude the Dutch hold for the sacrifices of Canadian soldiers, with numerous memorials, annual tulip gifts to Ottawa, and dedicated streets in their honor. The Canadian Liberators Foundation continues to support veterans' visits, ensuring that the heroism and sacrifices of these soldiers are remembered and celebrated each day.
"Even after 80 years, he's still our hero here in the Netherlands, so we're so grateful he can come again."
"The precious thing of freedom the Canadian soldiers gave to us, we have to remember that every year of every day."
