This is for you Stoney, Sonoffatboy, and the rest of you Cannucks...

http://www.actualriders.ca/lest_we_forget.htm

While many "Americans" ran for Canada during Vietnam, I had a young Airman work for me that was a Cannuck....he was married to a USA citizen...he joined the USAF during the Vietnam War to stay in the USA with his wife...it would have been easy for them to return to Canada where he could work...but he choose to stay...

Please read the article and remember that the Cannucks have stood by us in every conflict....Kevin Meyers piece puts in prospective how the vast majority of "Americans" think....and it is a sad state of affairs....

I dare you to watch the 11 minute video and look into those young peoples bright eyes and think of lives cut way to short...

On Veteran's Day, I plan to be in Arizona with my grandson....the young people in that video won't have Veteran's Days with their grandsons...

Thank you Canada and all the nations of the world that send their young men and women into harms way so I can sit here, drink a beer and brag about our adventures riding motorscooters.....

God Bless and Protect those serving in harms way.......:kevlar:

It should be posted everywhere.
