STORYLINE:
A convoy of historic cars with enthusiasts dressed in U.S. Army World War II uniforms passed through Prague on Friday to mark the anniversary of the end of World War II.

"It means a matter of the heart for us because freedom is probably the most we can have," said Marcel Kuzel, one of the participants.

The commemorative drive and public display of historic military vehicles and motorcycles, called the "Convoy of Liberty," marked the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII.

"We have to remember the people who gave their lives for it, and without that, we can never have freedom," Kuzel added.
