I would like to know if annybody has some info on Canadians soldiers that went to Nam during the war?
Have you been there?CH1 said:There was some 60,000 Canucks over there. Some were ICCS, & other agencies. Some were in US forces, Aussie etc. There was even some in Canuck uniform on the line (The forgotten ones.) The Cdn govt then as now still treats us as third rate. Until as approx 10 yrs ago, Ottawa explicitly denied we were there, in any fashion. Then some classified papers suddenly left the politico's with red faces.
Trudea was upset that the beans were spilt about the level of Cdn invovlement from arms & ammo to bodies in the field.
Cheers

I' ve been soldiering since 1968, & am on terminal leave. The jungles over there are dense hot & humid.
The grass is taller than me in places & I'm over 6'. Just last week in the States, ran into a door gunner, I met 30+ years ago. We had a chance to salute those that didn't come home, & remember what it was like on the DMZ. Unfortunately due to my sched, we did not pass the bottle & cigar.
In short yes to your question. You are a "cherry" with just a year behind your belt. A word of advice, be respectful to whom ever you question. Even what I call the younger generation, has even more combat time than me & have earned the respect they are due. Choose your words as carefully as your weapon.
