n007;
Thank you for the link and interesting read sir, I appreciate you taking the time to post it.
I've worked with at least one Canadian who served in Vietnam, but as with many vets he didn't talk about it and out of respect I didn't ask.
There was a story on CBC radio a few years back about this and they interviewed a chap who'd grown up in the interior here and just walked across into Oroville whereupon he picked up a young American's draft notice and became him so to speak when he presented himself to the appropriate branch.
As I recall he said there wasn't much work and his home life was poor, so he welcomed a change - any change - and most certainly got that by going in country for I believe two tours.
The interesting thing with that chap was that if I recall correctly, after he got out, he walked back across the medicine line and resumed his life as a Canadian.
Doing so of course meant no pension or any other VA benefits.
Anyway sir, thanks again for the read, all the best to you folks and good luck on any remaining hunts.
Dwayne
