[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 610029, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]I had to go back and do some research since its been a while but I thought the 101st airborne was also heavily involved in Holland. I don't want to say the wrong thing and diminish the contributions of the many Canadian soldiers that lost their lives there but while Holland celebrates Canada's day there were a lot more units from other countries involved in the liberation of Holland.

I think those conferences recognizing those three as the top allied powers clearly indicates the us was considered a top world power.
