This is one of the things that makes Canadians proud, that other countries respect the sacrifice and willingness that our young men and women were able and willing to undertake for the cause of freedom to fight off Nazi oppression during World War II. It had to be done and our young men and women were prepared to make the sacrifice to do that, in both Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador, which was a separate country at the time.
Les Canadiens sont fiers que d'autres pays respectent le sacrifice que nos jeunes hommes et jeunes femmes ont été capables et désireux de faire pour la cause de la liberté en se battant contre l'oppression nazie pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il fallait le faire et nos jeunes hommes et jeunes femmes, tant du Canada que de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, qui était alors un pays distinct, étaient prêts à faire ce sacrifice.
