Tour guide Frans van Marle poses in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Monday, Nov.9, 2009. Canadian veterans accustomed to getting a hero's welcome every spring when the Netherlands marks the anniversary of its liberation might well be disappointed if they expected to get a similar reception on Remembrance Day. While thousands of grateful Dutch people line the streets of their cities and towns to cheer passing Canadian veterans during celebrations in early May, very few people here are even aware that Nov. 11 has any significance.
