Default Not to take anything away from the message...

...but having friends and family on both sides of the border (North and South)and the Atlantic I get many emails forwarded to me, usually with a patriotic message. I've noticed that there is a certain amount of hijacking of of the best stories. This one circulated throughout the U.S. about a year ago with the same story line and only the salient facts altered to refer to U.S. troops returning to Iraq aboard an American Airlines flight with a visit to the USO at the terminal. I've also received emails, purportedly taking place in both Canada and the U.S. about some grey haired old lady going off on some anti-war demonstrators. I'm sure its done in the spirit of honouring the troops of the country of the author or plagiarizer and is harmless, in fact it probably does more good by rousing people everywhere. We should just remember to not believe everything we read on the internet. Derek
