43. Expatriate in Canada eh?

I know a few of those. I joined a group of Canadians, mostly VN vets--both Canadians and expats-- for their first memorial service at the Wall in the late '80s, and we've stayed in touch and visited back and forth over the years. They're mostly from BC (Vancouver, Surrey, Maple Ridge, etc.).

I happened to be doing a congressional internship with a Dem Rep from CA when Jimmy Carter issued the pardon and I wrote my Rep's press release announcing and explaining it.

I was drafted from the San Fernando Valley.
