1) In this small, Dutch village, citizens adopt the grave of a fallen American soldier from WWII and honor their lives as a gesture of “comfort” to their liberators.

#9: As a late ’80s child, 99% of that article applies to me and even everyone who was born up to 1988, at least. It’s not just early ’80s adults.
