The War of 1812 says "hello"

That was my first thought too, but I think it's overly pedantic. If we're reaching all the way back to 1812 then I think parents point is true in spirit if not letter

It was fought on US soil but did they really get invaded in that war? They declared war on Great Britain. They even invaded Canada themselves. It just doesn't seem to match the conflicts the USA brings upon other nations.

It might be mere semantics, but the 1814 burning of Washington has been depicted as an invasion.

Yes, they got invaded. Just because it happened after they invaded someone else doesn't make it any less an invasion.
