The USA started on 7 December 1941 and was over around 1945. You don’t have to stretch the truth here.
It started in 1939 for Canadian troops. No stretch.
Germany invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939. That date is considered by historians as the onset of the Second World War. The USA entered the war on December 7th, 1941, which is two years, three months and six days AFTER the party started.
Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) was May 7 and 8 1945. That is the only factual error in what I posted. I forgot the exact date of the end of formal hostilities in Europe and misstated it by 3 weeks.
Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day) was August 15, 1945. The USA only became involved after Pearl Harbor, but the Chinese and several volunteer forces (including a very brave contingent of American airmen) had been fighting the Japanese there since 1931 (The Manchurian invasion).
I did not stretch the truth, I spoke it.
I must be a well-propagandized robot, as I am a member of a veteran’s club, wear red on Fridays, have the “pathetic Canadianized” ribbons on all my family’s vehicles, and stand shoulder to shoulder (metaphorically speaking) with all our troops in their duties.
I also support the Canadian government’s stance on keeping the fight over there rather than allowing the moon-worshippers to further infest our free nations.

Hey, that’s OK. Churchill gave Roosevelt a Late Slip and everybody mucked in and got the job done. Better late than never.
