U.S. Army CW3 (Ret.) Ken Holden, a Black Hawk flight instructor, shares the story of his late grandfather, who served under Maj. Gen. James M. Gavin, during an interview at the Operation Market Garden 2026 “First Encounters” event in Groesbeek, 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 the those who served and through and enduring U.S.-Dutch partnership.
