Today, the 'Militaire Willemsorde' for the Polish Parachute Brigade and the 'Bronzen Leeuw' for General Sosabowski (posthume) were presented during a ceremony at Den Haag. The medals were presented by Queen Beatrix. A total of 120 Polish veterans and 40 widows from those killed in 1944 travelled from all over the world to attend the ceremony.
This token of appreciation for their actions was long overdue.
