Yvonne. It may not a matter of "owing more". Granted, the supply of equipment and troops by the US was a major factor in the outcome and especially the duration of both World Wars. What I find offensive is the general conception of many that Canada, Australia, France, Russia, Poland, India, Arab Nations... and others, did not contribute as much as the US when, as you have stated (regarding some), they did. But, again, the notion proferred by many that the US won the war is DEEPLY offensive to many.

For instance, my father, my ex father-in-law, four of my uncles and four of my aunts.

Don't get me wrong. Thank God for the good old USA (back then, at least), but there are some who need to read some history, as I have pointed out previously on various threads.
