Fellow Vietnam Veteran's,
        Please excuse this non-MV post, but I felt it was something that all of
us who served in 'Nam should take note of.

NELSON, British Columbia, Canada -- B.C. activists plan to erect a
bronze sculpture honouring American draft dodgers who opposed the Vietnam
War and sought refuge in Canada.

        This really affected me personally, as I was one of the Canadian's who
came south to enlist in the U.S. Army and volunteer for service in
Vietnam. Somewhere between 6,000 to 10,000 Canadian's fought in Vietnam
under a foreign flag.
Six Canadian names are engraved on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington
D.C.

LANCE MVPA 22125
Vietnam: August '67 -- Tet '68 -- March '69
