★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Belangrijk om te weten wie onze vrijheid heeft veiliggesteld, sommigen hebben dit met de dood moeten bekopen. Laten we dit nooit vergeten.
Important to know who secured our freedom, some have paid with their death. Let's never forget this.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Op 17 september 1944 lande hier het Amerikaanse 501 e Airbone Division. Dit in verband met Operation Marketgarden. Helaas lande zij bij het verkeerde kasteel, ze moesten 6km verderop in Veghel gedropt worden. Eén parachutist zou later bekend worden, Father Sampson. Hij lande samen met een andere parachutist in de gracht van het kasteel. Toen ze elkaar geholpen hadden om er uit te komen ging hij terug om zijn uitrusting op te duiken. Nadat het kasteel op de Duitsers was veroverd trok de divisie op naar de juiste dropzone. Father Sampson bleef achter met een aantal gewonden. Hij ging opzoek naar transport voor de gewonden. Toen hij terug kwam met een aantal paard en wagens met Nederlanders op de bok was helaas het kasteel al weer in Duitse handen. Father Sampson overleefde de oorlog en stierf in 1994.
Respect voor deze mannen...
On 17 September 1944 the American 501st Airbone Division landed here. This in connection with Operation Marketgarden. Unfortunately she landed at the wrong castle, they had to be dropped 6km away in Veghel. One parachutist would later become known, Father Sampson. He landed with another parachutist in the moat of the castle. When they helped each other out, he went back to show up his equipment. After the castle was captured from the Germans, the division advanced to the correct drop zone. Father Sampson was left with several injured. He went looking for transport for the injured. When he returned with a number of horse and wagons with Dutchmen on the box, unfortunately the castle was already in German hands. Father Sampson survived the war and died in 1994.
Respect for these men ...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Als een ieder die zo onheus met onze vrijheden omgaat maar eens tot besef kwamen hoe hard er gevochten is voor onze vrijheid. Op plekken als deze eer ik de gevallenen, maar schaam mij ook diep voor de respectloosheid van onze tegenwoordige jeugd. Los van mijn dank spreek ik ook meestal mijn excuses uit. Dat moest niet nodig zijn. Welnu, op deze plaats is het goed gedenken. Eervol, respectvol en waardig. Dank aan de oprichters van dit monument, en aan diegene die het heden ten dage onderhouden.
Go you Screaming Eagels
Drop through the sky.
Never let your strenght and gourage fail,
and as you hit, keep going
with that Bastogne spirit,
wich has carried freedom’s grail.
Come on, let’s go, you Screaming Eagles
Fight for the right to be called a son
of the one-o-one !
So here we go.
You know, the Eagles are diving from the sun.
Look out for the mightiest men of Geronimo !
If only everyone who treats our freedoms so unfairly would realize how hard they fought for our freedom. In places like this I honor the fallen, but I am also deeply ashamed of the disrespect of our youth today. Apart from my thanks, I usually also apologize. That shouldn't have been necessary. Well, in this place it is good to remember. Honourable, respectful and dignified. Thanks to the founders of this monument, and to those who maintain it today.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ the presence of the historical building is breath taking, an old castle with a moat. This castle called Heeswijk kasteel with the moat and the WW2 historical monument of the 101st airborne devision is a must see!
