Acknowledgements
I am indebted to many who have contributed and helped with this book.
Inspiration came from Pacific Unit 280, Chinese Canadian WWII veterans, a group I have been privileged to serve as Chaplain for over twenty years. These men and women who fought for Canada, even though they were not considered citizens or had the right to vote, proved to Canada that Chinese deserved a seat at the table. In 1947, they received the right to vote.
My grandfather, who was born in Canada, was almost fifty before he was allowed to vote.
Special mention should be made to Col. Howe Lee,
Cdr (Ret.) King Wan
; author, editor and veteran of two tours in Iraq, R.A. Peters, for his editing and on-site insights;
Jun Ares for his striking cover design; JW (

and editor Janet R. Musick for her exceptionally keen eye to detail.
