"for being from the country that saved that country from falling to the Germans?"
I know I shouldn't respond to this but to suggest that the United States is responsible for saving Great Brittan from the Germans is just wrong. It was England's "Few" that defeated Hitler's Luftwaffe and without control of the air Hitler cancel Operation Sea Lion the invasion of England. In addition, by this time he had already set his sights on his true prize which was Barbarossa the invasion of the Soviet Union. This was all done long before the United States was "officially" involved. Besides the "Few" American pilots that volunteered our involvement included some surplus ships and supplies for their troops. To even think that the United States "saved that country" is a gross over simplification of the final outcome and lacks the respect that the British soldier so honorably deserves.
