Title: Today Dutch Day of National Mourning
Post by: Marcellarius on July 23, 2014, 04:37:29 pm

Last week a Malaysian commercial air plane departed  from Amsterdam was shot by rockets over the Ukrainian country.
all 298 people where killed and almost 200 of them where Dutch.
Today is proclaimed as a national day of mourning in Holland as the first 40 bodies arrived back in our country.
All bodies where taken to a military base for identification and the 40 cars containing the 40 people were escorted by police and people payed great respect.
Truly a sad day in our history!

The world is just going crazy with all this senseless violence.
At least the victims here were treated with a sense of patriotism and respect.
God Bless! Spirithorse

third day on a row now, they did the same ceremony every day,  only different numbers...
1 th day 40 funeral cars, 2 th day 70.....
so sad  :'(
Still going on, if all goes like planned the last deceased will be back in Holland tomorrow.

Stories come out now, families are torn apart, children..., all terrible.
all the people who lost their loved ones mourn and will need prayers.
