  7. As an immigrant to these fair shores I am under no illusions how fortunate I am to be here. My wife is astonished that such tales are indeed true.

    And as a former member of the Canadian Forces I can’t help but respectfully suggest that no “Tommies” fought ashore on Juno, that was the Canadian beach.
