Editing Remembrance of the Dead (section)

== Definition ==
Since 2011 the official text of the Memorandum for Remembrance Day on 4 May is as follows:

{{Blockquote|During the national commemoration of Remembrance Day we remember all victims – civilians and soldiers – who have been killed or murdered in the Kingdom of the Netherlands or anywhere else in the world in [[War|war situations]] or during [[Peacekeeping|peace-keeping operations]] since the outbreak of the Second World War.|source=Memorandum 2011<ref>[http://www.4en5mei.nl/english/commemorating Commemorating], The National Committee for 4 and 5 May</ref>}}

It is organized nationally by [[National Committee for 4 and 5 May]], but local committees still apply their own interpretation to the commemorations and also bear responsibility for that interpretation.
