    U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 7th Engineer Brigade, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, pose with John Leesberg, who lived in Nijmegen as a child during its liberation in World War II, during the 82nd Remembrance Ride in Groesbeek, Netherlands, Sept. 19, 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 and enduring U.S.-Dutch partnership.
