“Op deze dag, precies tachtig jaar geleden, regende het Amerikaanse brisantbommen op Roosendaal. Het was een dag van immense tragedie, verlies en vernietiging.” Zo begon locoburgemeester Arwen van Gestel op 31 mei 2024 zijn toespraak tijdens de herdenking op de begraafplaats aan de Bredaseweg. De eerste keer vond deze herdenking in 2019 plaats, op initiatief van Piet Geleijns, 75 jaar na de rampzalige dag. Sindsdien vindt de herdenking elk jaar plaats.
