‘From the People of the Netherlands to the People of the United States of America’

This beautiful dedication is inscribed on the front of the Netherlands Carillon (pictured below).

The Netherlands Carillon is a 127-foot-tall campanile housing a 53-bell carillon located in Arlington County, Virginia. The instrument and tower were given in the 1950s "From the People of the Netherlands to the People of the United States of America" to thank the United States for its contributions to the liberation of the Netherlands in 1945 and for its economic aid in the years after.

The carillon is situated on a ridge overlooking the Potomac River and Washington, D.C., and it provides expansive views of the National Mall, West Potomac Park and Arlington National Cemetery. (Wikipedia)
