Today in the City of Leiden, a local elementary school held an event called the "Patriotism Fair", where children dress up as who or what they think represents their country the best. Many went to school as soldiers, the President, one child was even seen holding a full-sized Leiden War Flag in either hand. But what caught most people's eyes among the entire fair, was a group of children dressed up as "battle-ready" tanks. A child was interviewed on why he chose to wear the tank costume, "My papa was a soldier and he fought in tanks, he is very brave and cool and I want to be a soldier like him!" he answered ecstatically.
Touched by the amount of support they had received from the children, the Army showed their gratitude by giving the children a show of the insides and features of the tanks, and are also given the ride of a lifetime sitting on top of a tank. "It's heartwarming to see that our country supports us in what we are doing, and the fact that the children actually took effort in showing their love and support for their country is well... nothing short of amazing.", a Corporal from the Army said.
