Nothing to do with Errol but just wanted to show how proud I am as a Canadian that the past and present members of the “Devil’s Brigade” will be honored today with the Congressional Medal of Honor.
This is for my American fellow-bloggers today!
Thank you! Next should be the Order of Canada.
The 1st Special Service Force (also called The Devil’s Brigade, The Black Devils, The Black Devils’ Brigade, and Freddie’s Freighters),[1] was an elite American–Canadian commando unit in World War II. The unit was organized in 1942 and trained at Fort William Henry Harrison near Helena, Montana in the United States. It fought in the Aleutian Islands, Italy, and southern France before being disbanded in December 1944.
The modern American and Canadian special operations forces trace their heritage to this unit. In 2013, The United States Congress passed a bill to award the 1st Special Service Force the Congressional Gold Medal.[
