Bernhard

Yesterday evening the ineviteable happened: Our Dutch Royal Highness prince Bernhard passed away. Prince Bernhard was a remarkable man. He married queen Juliana in 1937 and he was a real WW2 hero who's fought with the soldiers at the battlefront. In addition to that he's even been a RAF fighter pilot. Therefore, unlike George W. Bush who fights wrong wars from behind his desk, Bernhard was a man who fought a a 'right' war right from within fighter cockpits or the battle front. Besides being a war hero he was also a prominent wildlife activist, the key figure in an important Dutch cultural foundation and many more things. Bernhard had a very strong opinion about many issues in the Netherlands and he was generally seen as a very nice person. Rest in peace Bernhard, your country will miss you...
