German Handwriting, can anyone help me?

[Herr General]

A German veteran gave me this book after a memorial service I helped organize. I can read German but I am having troubles with his handwriting. Can anyone help me?

I took at my name and the name of the veteran.....

[Gerd Becker]

Meinem guten Freund .... aus Dankbarkeit f?r die Arbeit die er uns Veteranen zugesteht und Verst?ndigung zwischen Holland und Deutschland schafft.

In herzlicher Verbundenheit und den besten W?nschen .....

Thats a nice compliment

[Herr General]

Thank you for the translation Gerd!
