Yes Decadence, there were other countries in the Allied forces. The quote you took from me is a quote from the NYTimes actually. The quote was geared towards the majority population on here and while I did not mention other countries, I did not take aim at our allies either. The celebrations are talked about in this article . We are well aware of our ally England's sacrifices as well as those from other countries. Do I personally think France is fully accepting of those sacrifices from all our countries? No.

Perhaps if you opened some books too you night realize that some 20,000 French died in the D-Day operations as a result of the bombardment. The services in a few hours will nor only honour those that fought, but remember all of those who died....

While I would find it interesting to see what some American vets over here thought of your comments, I wouldn't be so crass as to show them your comments. I wouldn't dirty the day with your filth.

Further it may just be a Canadian thing, but many of the vets feel that they are forgotten by the American media (not the US vets) and their role in D-Day... after-all there were 5 beaches (2 US, 2UK, 1 Canadian) and the Canadians did advance the furthest inland that day (although not to their objectives).
