It is wonderful that WoT wants to give to Veterans causes !

PLEASE look into the D.A.V. (Disabled American Veterans).

Regardless of what you have heard, they have fought for our rights since 1919, and have a professional staff that is the best !

Most of the Service Officers are Disabled Vets themselves.

It is an oversight, but a remediable one.  WG has done it in the past.

I honor the contributions of Canadian Veterans.  On a per capita basis, you Canucks are a brave lot!

And besides, I like having our (USA) Northern border guarded by a bunch of folk who (mostly) I would enjoy as friends  :Smile_Default:

Thanks for the mention.

I do understand that WG_NA is mainly American, but it wouldn't hurt to show some Canadian spirit...

Dear Canadian Veterans and Supporters,

As General Direction previously stated we have donated to Canadian charities in the past and will most certainly do so in the future.

For this particular event we have chosen the veteran charities we wish to donate to.

Your feelings and sentiments have been both acknowledged and noted. Thank you for that.

Anymore insulting or accusatory posts will be considered non constructive and will be dealt with accordingly.

Respectfully,

SgtGrunt

PS My Grandmother was born and raised in Quebec. Her father was not at home for most of 1917 and 1918. He was in France and Belgium.  :Smile_honoring:

Thank you for your post.
The decision to include a Canadian veterans support group next time is very nice. In my clan we have Canadian veterans who are disabled as members and I will mention this post to them tonight.

For Canadians who are concerned, please understand that our neighbors to the south out number our veterans at about 30 to 1.

Good job Wargaming we appreciate this gesture
sincerely
