​My name is Frank Gubbels. I was born in 1982 and I am living in a village called Noorbeek, located in The Netherlands.

​​Noorbeek was the first liberated municipality of The Netherlands in WWII, which occurred on Tuesday, 12 September 1944.

I was twelve years old in 1994, when numerous American veterans participated in the 50th commemoration of the liberation of Noorbeek. It made a huge impression on me and that is how I got interested in the history of WWII.

​I started to wonder why these men came over to fight against the Nazi's and why many of them gave their lives for our freedom.

I had the honor to meet numerous veterans and after listening to their stories, I soon realized that their sacrifices should never be forgotten. Therefore, ​I believe it is my duty to keep their memories alive by educating the public and giving them an insight about the liberation of this area, during the month of September 1944.
