9064 "Festa della Liberazione" 2008.

The above Festa which is being hleld on Friday 25th April 2008 is to remember the liberation of Italy from the occupying German forces in World WW2. It also gives an opportunity for everyone to remember the Italian Parisans and English and Amercan service personnel who died in achieving that objective.

There are something in the region of 145 Commonwealth and British War Cemeteries in Italy holding 45,000 + graves of those service personnel who died during WW2.. In Britain on the 11th November of each year we remeber the fallen during the WW1 and 2 by placing weaths on local war memorials.

Do you think it would be possible for everyone, Itallans and British, to adopt a local War Cemetery and on the 25th April place some flowers within the cemetery?
Maybe the local Mayor could be encouraged to attend?

If you want to know where your local cemetery is please send me an email and I will advise you

Many thanks.
