My Wife's Great Great Granfather was Canada's #2 Sniper in World War 1. 9% of the Canadian population is Indigenous.
My Canadian Indigenous Wife understands Cree. It was useful in World War 2.

Amazing & Impressive family history @ LTC Stephen LTC (Join to see)!
My Uncle was a dive bomber in WWII. Part of Squadron 6 which took out Yamamoto’s ship during the Battle of Midway. Unfortunately, he was KIA

Yes we are, Out of that group one old china vet is still going. I think he's 97 and just went into a assisted living, still mowing his own grass a year ago. The Korean guys are leaving just as fast and Viet nam people are not far behind.
