Have you ever participated in the Vierdaagse in Nijmegen? What was your experience?

Just participated this year. Great event and great experience if you ever get the chance (realizing I am bumping an old thread). The award is authorized for wear on the ribbon rack of your uniform, and in medal and miniature medal form on dress uniforms (though it may be a difficult time finding the mini medals and ribbons).

It’s one of the few awards outside those you receive for direct combat action/gallantry that you’ll truly feel you earned. Hell of an experience.

Good Success on your march! It is an experience like none other that I can think of. Bring some extra unit patches to trade with the other military units. The final day is AMAZING! People will line the route for the last 20KM handing out Gladiolus flowers.

It actually is authorized for wear in accordance with 600-8-22 appendix E (listed as Holland Four Day Event Cross). But you still have to go through the appropriate approval process and have it added to your OMPF. It must be worn on the left side (as a full size medal or a ribbon). The ribbons are nearly impossible to find in US size. I found a company that sold them in Sweden at 9 Euro a pop, but their website doesn't seem to work anymore. I only got one and I am trying to be very careful with it until I find another source. If I ever do, I will let you know.
