No they bloody didn't! They were dragged extremely reluctantly into the second world war due to the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbour!
TWO years after the war started!
I don't commemorate 11/11 or the Hillsboro events or the 7/7 events. I don't commemorate openly, any dead.
They are in the past. Having lived in various countries where the past is an embarrassment, (China, Japan, Germany) I find the way they deal with it as an unspoken-of respect to be far more civilised way of doing things.
But then I've never been one for getting all gooey eyed for folks I don't know.
Oh, and quite frankly, I couldn't care one jot if me not towing the popularist line upsets of offends anyone. Free thinking and all that.
