@sutton123454 Oh -- I left off the Netherlands -- there's a huge US military cemetery there.

@sutton123454 Same here man ... peace ...

@iriewaregl that is true, i respect all the allies troops and soldiers who fought for their countries and their brothers in arms.

@sutton123454 With all due respect, might I suggest you look at the number of Americans buried throughout France, Belgium, Sicily, Italy, the UK, islands throughout the Pacific, etc., in comparison to Canadians. It had nothing to do with stealing glory, but rather the fact that the Americans had more troops & equipment in Europe & the Pacific. For example, Canadians did not have huge arnour divisions like the US. No matter, all allies KIA were brothers-in-arms and deserve equal respect.

@paintballTSD Canada was suppose to walk through Rome but an American general told the Canadian's to stop, they fought to get there and they let the Americans get the glory for it. Same in alot of other places it happened to the Canadians but atleast in Belgium they remember the most, they love us Canadians there still.

I was there on August 20 2009 to see where the fallen of my regiment rested and I would have seen your Great Uncle's grave as I looked at the name on every grave marker there. As I looked at their ages, I wondered what could they have become had they lived? A great doctor perhaps? Now they lie so far from home yet so loved even in death by the French people.

there names live forever is not true , the french remember only because the celebration is prepapre in advance ! news on t.v.,.. Newpapers,.. Canadians Soldiers and tourists who goes there,.. pretty hard to ignore there presence, .. not too much choice to remember when there is a delegation of many Canadian Soldiers and politicians on the ground .

the great big memorial stone which said "their names liveth for evermore", i also saw it at the Arnhem graveyard which i went to today....RIP all the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.

Hi Cheesie99, it is great to see a video which documents the final resting places of Canadians who fell during the Dieppe raid. This video would be great for the Canada’s Got Treasures collection, which aims to feature Canadian videos of personal or cultural significance. Help celebrate Canadian diversity by joining our YouTube group (/group/TresorTreasure) and submitting your video. It would be made available on our channel and website.
Hamish,
Canada's Got Treasures, a VMC initiative
This video was posted in honor of my Great Uncle Charlie, not to start arguments. "Peace"
