Canadian's in Vietnam A Tribute

What most people fail to realize is that over 40,000 Canadians crossed borders to join with their American brothers to fight in a war that none of them wanted to be in. When Americans crossed into Canada to escape Vietnam, we were crossing over to fight in their place. It was very hard finding photos of Canadians in Vietnam because they were all in American uniforms. So most of the photos you will see are of Americans but could be Canadians. One thing is for certain, they are all brothers. This video is dedicated to Larry S Semeniuk, my cousin a Canadian who died in Vietnam after 45 days at the age of 18

Canadians did not fight along with the Americans. Canada was there to enforce the 'Paris Peace Accords', to establish peace in Vietnam, ending the Vietnam War and direct U.S. military involvement, and to stop the fighting between North and South Vietnam .

My brother, a Canadian, flew with the 48th AHC Blue Stars. I've been adopted by my other 'brothers' who got to come home and I love each and every one of them. We come from a long line of military. My grandfather rode in the Canadian cavalry, at one time! Dad, RCN; sisters, Navy; husbands military, too. My husband and I met at my 1st USMC base! Semper Fi ev1 and good nite.

The Canadian Army did not send troops to Vietnam, but people like my graps volunteered to go. Canada was non-belligerent during the Vietnam War.

i really am sorry there are uneducated people commenting saying there were no canadians in vietnam. dont let them bother you. your cousin was a great man.

I am proud of my father who is an American Vietnam vietnam veteran; Canadians are not all peaceful or nice--we sent troops to the second World war and I am proud of them and all of our proud men and women in uniform. Canadians usually joined the US forces by getting a US post box and using that to join the military...later, there was a UN multinational 4 nation group sent to Vietnam in 1974 (?) to retrieve missing men, supervise the peace, as it was and make sure rules were kept.God bless you!

Thank so much for this. Trying to tell liberals that Canadians went to 'Nam is like talking to a rock. Liberals: Owned. Again.
