The week of July 16th, Adam went to Nijmegen, Holland to participate in the 4 Degasse (the 4 day march). This is a week long event with 4 days of road marching. Participants complete 25 miles a day, for a total 100 miles to earn a completion medal. Unfortunately, the weather was awful this year and after one day of marching, the event was called off due to several heat injuries and medical staff being overwhelmed. This was the third time in 90 years that the march wasn't completed. The first two times were for world wars.

This is part of the route through Nijmegen. 

Here is a Scottish team that had a bagpiper marching along next to the guidon in the rear. 

This is the flag ceremony at Camp Heumensoord where the Heidelberg Team stayed while they were in Nijmegen, Holland. 

Here are some marchers. There were approximately 44,000 people participating with a mix of military and civilians from several countries.
