Speaker. we do owe the Dutch people a thank you. The Dutch not only supported America at ports in Holland but also voluntarily sent fighting ships. minehunting vessels. air defense squadrons. medical teams. as well as other units to Saudi Arabia and the gulf region in support of our effort to remove Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. As if this was not enough for a small country to give. the Dutch also provided $65 million in financial aid along with $6 million to assist refugees from Iraq and Kuwait. Every year on May 4 at 8 p.m.. a bell rings in Holland which calls for a moment of silence by the Dutch people in memory of their fellow citizens who were executed there by the Nazis. The next day.
