I don't know who started this thread, but I am sure they didn't intend for it to go here. I shouldn't answer, but I can't help it. My ancestors also fought in WW1 and WW2 and even though Canada has it's problems today, I'm sure my ancestors would feel proud to know their grandchildren and great grandchildren can still walk outside their house and down the street without having to see the military walking about as well with machine guns.

I don't know why this person posted this message, either. I unsubscribed the person from this list. Remember the CAN-MANITOBA-L Mailing List is for genealogical or historical research in Manitoba. It is not a general mailing list.
