Seven paratroopers lost their lives during the fighting around Lock Bridge in Heumen. These Soldiers were Lawrence F. Blazina, Onie A. Burnett, Donald W. Forein, Fred Grainger, Patrick J. Mcgrath, Jerry M. Murphy and Edward J. Schutt. Their names now stand near the place where they fought. A ceremony was held in Heumen, Netherlands, Sept. 17, 2026. As the United States marks 250 years of independence, Operation Market Garden commemorations offer a living example of the long relationship between Americans and the Dutch. From Dutch trade and support during the American Revolution, symbolized by the First Salute at St. Eustatius in 1776, to American and Allied forces fighting together in the Netherlands in 1944, that history continues today through communities that preserve the memory of those who served and through an enduring U.S.-Dutch partnership.
