D-Day

On 6 June 1944 the Allied invasion of Europe took place on the beaches of Normandy, France; 400,000 American, British and Canadian troops were involved.

Ironically enough, on the same day 'way back in 1813, the US invasion (?!?) of Canada was halted at Stoney Creek, Ontario.

Props to the Canadians for not holding a grudge.

"Oh Canada. . . "

I own the sheet music for the Canadian national anthem. If I need to apply for political asylum I want them to know I'm sincere, and ready to sing.
