Wow.
Still a touchy subject.
Canada watched in horror; accepted those who were able to flee here. I would never dishonor those who thought they were doing the right thing, but I'd blow the low lifes who tricked them into thinking that away without second thought. Peace. -
Aww good luck with the contest I am glad to know the war isn't forgotten their heros living and who died fighting

CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners. Thank you for hosting this great contest. Take care. Sandy
