I love seeing young people take an interest in their history, Canada has a proud military history that many are only dimly aware of if the know it at all. <br /><br />Curt thanks for the movie tip I have shared it with my Sister in Law who's father was one of those who landed on Juno.

Also "The Necessary War" is an excellent book on the Canadian war effort that I would highly recommend. Thank you Curt for inviting my brother and I to join the challenge, and Thank you everyone for welcoming us so warmly! It is an honour to be part of it all!
