Welcome! I'm from near Peterborough, Ontario myself. I joined the Yankee Army because I refuse to learn Frawg!

I have my Canuk Abn Wings, I got them at the 25th Anniversary of the Canadian Airborne Regiment party, just before they got disbanded.

The following year I got to JM a bunch of Canuks and give them their American Airborne Wings. Petwawa's DZ Cuddly is the best!
