A gift of Friendship of Holland for the American people.

It is called the "Netherlands Carillon" (installed in 1954) and was offered in gratitude for American aid during and after WWII. The Carillon symbolizes and is dedicated to the friendship between the 2 countries and their common allegiance to the principles of freedom, justice and democracy. I'm still searching for the Belgian gift, but, believe me, if there is one, I will most definitely find it. More pix HERE.
