If you are referring to WW2, many American's went through Canada to enlist in the armed forces of England. One such individual was WW2 Ace pliot Gabby Gabreski from Oil City Pennsylvania who flew the Supermarine Spitfire Mark IX. Many others Americans labored anonymously and without anything in the way of fanfare in the armed services of England during WW2 as well.

This doesn't even begin to mention the American personnel who were in the Merchant Marine who brought supplies to England to enable them to stay in the fight. Many of them battled and died fighting against U-boats and sea raiders. There is of course the Lend Lease program as well.
A great deal of this was before America " Officially " entered the war.
