What a great letter to Ottawa from a visiting US Soldier!

That was entirely amazing to read.


I remember a few years back at the ceremony at the Museum of the Regiments here in Calgary and I talked to an older Gentleman from Texas who had served in Vietnam. He had no real connection to Canada's history but starting in the 90's when he heard about what we do for Rememberance day and he knew some Canadians that had volunteered to serve in Vietnam he started making the trip up here. He was blown away by the crowd and the concept. He also talked about our Highway of hero's when Canadian KIA were returned from Afghanistan.


We have some absolutely awesome traditions in this country that I hope we don't lose.
