That's kind of cool-- I'm Canadian, live just outside of Toronto, and I'm in the Halton Regional Police Pipes and Drums. We are going to Holland in March!!! We are going along with a few of the Canadian ambassadors, for the Liberation of Holland-- it was the Highlanders of Toronto that liberated the region we're visiting.

That's awesome!!
