It was not only Dieppe but Oratona, Juno Beach, and the Schelt as well. To add insult to injury, after the Canadians won that fight, they were not even invited to the Port Openning.

Hopefully I can soon become part of this program. In about 6-weeks I go to BCT and prepare for a 2 to 3 year training program for the Army. I enlisted as 18X.
