Introducing the Exclusive PAX44 Liberation Day Edition

It serves as a tribute to 80 years of freedom and symbolizes the enduring friendship between the Netherlands and Canada. The following message from Veteranen TV & Radio captures its significance perfectly:
“Today, on behalf of Veteranen TV & Radio, I received, in silence but with deep respect, one of the only 12 bottles of the Pax44 Liberation Day Edition. > > A unique bottle of whisky, imbued with meaning, history, and friendship — a tribute to 80 years of freedom and to the unbreakable bond between the Netherlands and Canada. > > Pax44 is inspired by that special moment in Arnhem, 1944. Where, even in the midst of war, a Pax was made. Where whisky and chocolate were shared between enemies, as human beings. And that is exactly what we wish to do with Veteranen TV & Radio: sharing stories, connecting the past and present, and contributing to a future where we do not forget what truly matters. > > 🙏
This bottle means more than just a collector’s item to me. It will have a place of honor in our studio, and I dedicate it to all my colleagues, veterans, military personnel, and their families. > > PAX44 – Schoonoord meeting on 16 April. > > #LastDramtableNews > > PAX44 – Schoonoord meeting on 16 April. > > Gratitude is the only right word. Especially when you understand what has preceded it. > > 🎙️ Let us continue to listen, to share our stories, and to remember.”
