Yes, from Montreal, my Thracian friend, but via Germany where I was born, my mother having recently been liberated from a forced labor camp by American soldiers. She was there from the age of 11 to 19. It sure wasn't the "singes du capitulation et mangeurs du fromage" who freed her.
I read this somewhere recently - a retired classical musician recalled how he was liberated from a death camp at the age of nine: "To this day, the sweetest sound I have ever heard was that rumble of American tanks, I knew at that moment that I would live to grow up".

Thanks for remembering, the frogs have very short memory. I have lost many of my love ones in WWII.
