My first tour was at Minot AFB ND and my best bud was from Calgary (dual citizenship). We spent several wild weekends in Calgary (his brother was in the reserve Commando unit there. Everyone we met were wonderful and I don't think we ever had to pay for a beer (after it was explained that, yes, we were yanks but in the service...they had little use for the draft-dodgers).
Banff (sp?) National Park was absolutely beautiful. I have a definite soft spot for your great country (and not just because of the free beers...)
Nice to see you here today.
