Army 1966 - 1970
I'll be eternally thankful to all veterans, especially those who
liberated Europe in WWII.
My hat off to all veterans!
With all due respects to your veterans Han, there were a few other
countries who were actually fighting from 1939 to 1945.
America entered the war in December 1941 and then *HELPED* to liberate
Europe, along with the British, Anzac, Canadian, Indian, Polish,
French, Russian and many other armies - as *THEY* helped America to
defeat the Japanese.
America was also late entering the war to end all wars 1914 - 1918 and
only participating from 1917.
Please read a true history on those conflicts before you infer that
America won anything single handily.
Once again, my respects to *ALL* the allies that fought and died in
war.
Disbelief, I think you are misinterpreting my words. I said ALL
veterans. Most f Holland (where I grew up) was liberated by Brits and
Canadiens. My high school was on the General Foulkes Road, the Canadian
general who accepted the surrender of the Germans in Holland in the town
where I grew up, Wageningen. That is about 8 miles from Arnhem, where
many Poles, Brits, Canadians and others died in Operation Market Garden
(the movie A Bridge Too Far). I could go on ...
