The first Dutch victims of the accident involving Malaysian Air Flight 17 returned home July 23, 2014. In light to this, the Dutch Prime Minister declared the day as a Dutch National Day of Mourning. To honor this declaration at NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen, the men and women of the Dutch Contingent held a special ceremony at their national support unit. After a short speech, everyone attending the ceremony, which included members of all the E-3A Component nations, held a moment of silence to pay respect to all the 298 victims, 193 of whom were Dutch citizens, on board flight MH17.
