There's a reason the Netherlands loves us, because we kicked kraut ass and took kraut names for freedom and democracy. We were fighting to stop Hitler way before the states was, and the Brits can thank us for making up the difference the RAF needed to stop the Luftwaffe at the Battle of Britain. D-Day, yes we only had one beach, but not only did we take it on time, but our landings and paratroops were so successful we actually had to pull back because the yanks couldn't keep up.
Not to mention that we won where the superpowers couldn't in World War 1 as well. Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, and a couple others, we tore the Germans down then too.
Aside from how much the cause of democracy and Brits owe us, Canadians also invented penicillin, snowmobiles, zippers and a few other things that are important. I have no idea how one country did all this, I guess being an immigrant country has it's benefits.
