So if you think about the Canadian wars, including the period from Tecumseh, and others as well - First World War, Second World War, Korean War, there have been literally hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands and thousands of Aboriginals in this country that are part of the Canadian constitution now from 1982 and described as Aboriginals are Indians, Inuit, and Metis. And the Metis are the mixed blood, half blood, thin blood Canadians that are proud to be Metis for having done what they’ve done for themselves and for the country that we all love. And these guys are buried over here in Europe just like any other Canadian - Jewish, French, Anglo Celt, whatever, so my feelings about the war era group I think is inherited because I told you about my great grandfather and my grandfather and my father, myself. My brother is dead now, he won the military medal in Korea.
