Default Canadian Vietnam vets:

Researching this issue one source I found said that the number of Canadians who enlisted in the US Army to fight in Vietnam far exceeded the number of Americans who dodged the draft and fled to Canada. Did they have to lie about their citizenship or their legal status to enlist in the US armed forces, or were these guys just signed up by the recruiters with no questions asked?
For years Canada's Vietnam vets were not recognized officially for their services by the Canadian government since afterall, Canada was officially neutral. they were finally honored by Canada in 1995 with the unveling of their own Vietnam memorial called The North Wall patterned after the Vietnam War Memorial in the US.
Has anyone visited the North Wall Memorial?
