This is a nice link to a memorial I never knew existed.



A lot of people who don't know, say that people from the USA came to
Canada
to avoid the Vietnam war and that was it.

The "North Wall" in Windsor, Ontario commemorates the 40,000 Canadians
who
fought in the Vietnam war from '59 to '75 and the 103 who died.

"The significance of the Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Windsor,
Ontario, Canada, is that a small group in Michigan U.S.A. called
M.A.C.V.
(Michigan Association of Concerned Veterans), felt that their Canadian
brothers and sisters, who gave their lives for the lives of others
deserved
to be recognized and accounted for, at home in Canada. This small group
of
Veterans proceeded to make this dream a reality, They fought through the
many hardships that comes with caring, they designed, built, and donated
the
memorial to be placed on Canadian soil, making this Memorial very
special to
the families of those who gave their lives for the freedom of others. "
