Speaking of the Canadians and Aussies, they too stormed the beaches at Normandy and Sicily. The French resistance and the Italian Partisans also sacrificed for the effort in their own homelands...</p><p><br /></p><p>Look, I&#039;m done schooling you.&nbsp; Take your &quot;facts&quot; and shove &#039;em.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
