Happy 237th Birthday to the US Army and Happy Flag Day!

And here comes the War of 1812 Bicentennial . Congress declared war on June 18, 1812. How time flies…

AND ... the anniversary of the LAST battle of the Napoleonic Wars - WATERLOO in 1815! If you play the alternative history mind game, would the War of 1812 between USA and GB have occurred without Napoleon? Would Britain have won if it hadn't been fighting Napoleon? As it was, 1812 can be called the Second War of Independence and the War of Canadian Separatism. Oh say can you see!

Thanks for the referral!
