Last but not least you can bet your ass if Newfoundland had gone with the States they would have been able to salute when the Ode To Newfoundland was played.EDITORS: Ghost Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029381282324241030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18242390.post-1149993753845857022006-06-10T19:42:00.000-07:002006-06-10T19:42:00.000-07:00One of the most tragic events to hit our island na...<B>One of the most tragic events to hit our island nation </B><BR/><BR/>Given the number of young Labrador men who served, and died, with the RNR in the Great War, your reference to "island nation" here is VERY offensive.WJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070910923518931583noreply@blogger.com
