83 years ago today, 48 men made a choice that still humbles me.

Their homeland was occupied.
Their families left behind.
Their future uncertain.

Yet they stepped forward.

No. 2 Dutch Troop wasn’t born in victory.
It was born in the Netherlands’ darkest hour.

These men:
• Left everything they knew
• Traveled to Scotland in secret
• Endured brutal Commando training
• Faced impossible odds

Their motto?
“Nunc Aut Nunquam” – Now or Never

Think about that for a moment.
It´s 1942.
When everything was lost…
When failure seemed certain…
When most would have given up…

They chose ‘Now.’
Not tomorrow.
Not when conditions improved.
Not when it was safe.
NOW.

Sometimes when I face a challenge in business or life, I think of these 48.
Because they teach us:
• Greatness is born in the darkest moment
• Impact requires sacrifice
• Change demands action
• Legacy starts with 1 choice

To those 48 madmen who dared to dream when dreams seemed foolish:

Thank you.

Your courage didn’t just help liberate a nation.

It shows us, even today, what’s possible when we dare to act in the face of uncertainty.

48 men.
One choice.
Infinite impact.
Now or Never
