Thanks for the pictures Light Speed.
There are Fifty Eight Thousand, Two Hundred and Nine ( 58,209 ) names inscribed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., one hundred and three (103) of those names are of known Canadians who served and did not return from the Vietnam war.
There are Fifty Eight Thousand, Two Hundred and Nine ( 58,209 ) names inscribed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., one hundred and three (103) of those names are of known Canadians who served and did not return from the Vietnam war.There were approximately 5000 Americans who dodged the draft by running to Canada. But there were over 50,000 Canadians who volunteered for the American military during Vietnam. On the basis of population, for every draft dodger than ran to Canada, 100 Canadian men served in the US military.
Thank you, Canada, for your brave men, and my sympathies for having to put up with our cowards.
