We might also celebrate:
1. Canadian Day of Infamy, Dec 25. Also known as "Happy Xmas, War Is Over." It certainly was for many Canadians after the Hong Kong surrender in 1941 and 2,000 Canucks were marched off to POW camps.
2. Secret Sacrifice: to commemorate the Dieppe Raid, which may have had much more importance than anybody knew at the time.
3. I nominate the "Sicily Slog"--military buffs know what I'm talking about; with most of its vehicles at the bottom of the sea, Canucks hoofed it on foot throughout the island, fighting all the way.
4. Holland Holiday: Canadians bring liberation to the Dutch.
5. Corvette Navy Day: commemorating over 100 Canuck convoy vessels that fought off the German u-boat wolf-packs while shepherding tons of supplies to Britain during the "great days." Corvettes were made in Canada--can't manage to do that now!
Not-wanted on the roster: Captains-of-the-Sky Day, saluting bomber pilots and crews who hit German cities.  Not politically correct, doncha know.
