My Famous Relatives
My cousin Daniel deRidder, he no longer plays for Amsterdam Ajax as he did since he was in the junior league but now plays in Spain for Celta de Vigo. He is on the Dutch junior national team. Go ORANJE!
My cousin Brandon Bearg is the voice of Thumper!
My Heroes are my Uncle and my Grandfathers.
All of whom fought in World War II.
Pacific War - U.S. Navy
My Grandfather fought in the pacific ocean where his ship the Ommaney Bay was hit by a Kamikaze.
Pacific War - Dutch East Indies
My other Grandfather was a prisoner of war in the Japanese slave camps that built the "death" railroad and the Bridge over the River Kwai.
Europe - Royal Dutch Air Force - Dutch East Indies
My uncle was a telegraph operator in the Mitchell 25-C Bomber planes that flew over Noramandy in D-day. His unit the famous Dutch 320 Squadron of Bombers escaped Indonesia prior to occupation. He later died in a bombing run when his plane was shot down over Northern France.
These people are my heroes because they suffered and died so that I and everyone else can live our day to day lives never having experience the pain and sorrow that must have gripped them each and every moment during the war. For that I praise them here and hope I can live my life with respect for their sacrifice.
