Members of the Minnesota National Guard and Norwegian Home Guard along with Norwegian Home Guard Commander Col. Ebbe Deraas, reenactor “Lars”, U.S. Army Col. Peter Scammell, and German Lt. Col. Oerter pose for a photograph at the Jørstad bridge memorial site in Snaasa, Norway on Feb. 19, 2015. The memorial site pays tribute to the achievements and sacrifice made by those U.S. and Norwegian service members who carried out Operation Woodlark, which destroyed the Jørstad bridge, and remembers the loss of 80 lives on Jan. 13, 1945, when a train derailed several hours after the bridge was demolished.
