The project offers an impressive insight into the reality and impact of military missions on veterans and their home front. With a helmet in the municipal coat of arms and in the logo of the Helmond Veterans Foundation, the link is quickly made. Why this project? As a former sailor and veteran, Amy van Son leads the 'Helmen full of Stories' project. The goal is to gain more understanding and recognition for veterans. Many Dutch people don't know what it means to go on a mission. The stories in this project provide a valuable insight into these experiences. With 'Helmen full of Stories', Amy van Son pays tribute to those who devote their lives to the protection of freedom and peace. Come visit and discover the impressive stories of our veterans!
