Son Airborne Forces monument by Jan van Gemert

Son is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant, in the municipality of Son en Breugel. The nearest major city is Eindhoven.

During World War II, it was the site of a bridge, the capture of which was crucial to the success of Operation Market Garden in September 1944. The bridge itself was featured in the 1977 war film A Bridge Too Far as well as 1997 video game Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far.
