Welcome to War and Tactics!    War and Tactics Forum is currently undergoing some modifications that might disable features you are used to. This is unabvoidable as we have to update the forum engine to a new structure that is incompatible with many of the features we had used so far. The good news: WaT will be more secure and stable, and most of the features we uninstalled will be a natural part of the new structure anyway. For the rest we will be looking for solutions.

Yesterday the last saturday in june was the day we commemorate and honour our veterans.
This event is celebrated for the 9th year now.
Every unit who fought somewhere in the world since world war 2 has aplace in a static show for its men, equipment and off course to inform visitors about their missions.
Veterans from ww2, Korea, Dutch Indies but also Jougoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libanon.

At the end of the day a parade through The Hague, watched by 1000s of people.


My platoon!


And myself!

We had the honour to walk with those veterans, a small detachement representing the entire 3500 men strong Reserve force.
veterans day
My detachement comes into view after the interview with the red baret, unfortunately I was just out of sight.
A very great day, and an event that was much needed and appreciated by civilians and veterans!
