Info from Belgium
Dear All ,
Unfortunately there will be no ceremony at the Mardasson this year .
But I would like to invite you to another great event .
The main Theme for the ceremonies this year is : 'The Medics '
This year , Nurse ReneƩ Lemaire , depicted in the HBO series BoB , will become a Knight in the Order of the Belgian Crown .
66 years after her death she finally gets the recognition she deserves , hereby representing all the medics , military and civilian, who treated wounded soldiers during the battle for Bastogne .
You are invited to be part of the Official Medal Presentation on Friday 10 Dec at 7 PM .
The presentation will be held at Salle XXIII , rear theatre at the Seminary . Will post a map if needed .
After the medal ceremony episode 6 of BoB will be broadcasted on a big screen in the same theatre .
Chris Langlois , grandson of Eugene Roe wrote a beautiful letter , that will be read to the public prior to the broadcasting .
Everybody is welcome to attend . No entrance fee ! Only 450 seats available .
I hope to see you all there to honor ReneƩ AND the Medics .
Best regards
