[MD] Say it isn't so

[Matt poot]

Hi Platt,

I'm not 100% sure that the U.S. were the saviors of WWII.  While the effort 
would likely have been a failure without U.S involvement, the total loss for 
the allied losses was 17 million. 11 of those were Russian. 4 million 
between western allies.  mind blowing at any rate....:*(

The U.S only joined the war, 2 years into the game after Russia, if I'm not 
mistaken.  It was also initiated only after they were attacked by the 
Japanese.

Gratitude?  This weekend, for example, is the anniversary of the battle of 
Vimy Ridge, and France is hosting thousands of our(Canadian) soldiers and 
citizens as an homage to their efforts. I would see that as gratitude.

As far as I know, Canadians are well received in Holland due to its 
liberation by Canadian forces.  to this day people offer their homes to 
Canadians in remembrance of that.  That sounds like gratitude.
