2:08... The soldiers name is matthew. His father came to our school and talked about him and about his life.. Hearts go out to the familys that lost a loved one, And prays go out for the ones still fighting <3 I truelly WOULD LOVE to be a soldier, but im a too young right noow <3 Im Proud To be A CANADIAN !! <3
Be sure to thank Harper and the Conservative government every time another one of our kids come back in a body bag! Its not the Canadian kids fault,they are only trying to make a living and get ahead in life by joining the army. On the other hand,our government only wants to play nice with the Americans at our young generations expense. Shame on you Stephan Harper!

@wikkedwickyonblogtv Hi I am a retired vet from Canada's reg forces. I stood with 135 other boys on our first day in boot camp. 13 weeks later only 93 of us graduated to go on to our assigned units. It isn't easy and you really have to want it bad enough. But the pride you feel when done is like no other. I was a combat soldier. When going into my first combat area with the U.N. peace keeping forces. Our RSM said to us " A ship in harbour is safe but thats not what ships were built for".
I became Canadian in July 2009, I am originally from Iraq (Muslim too). I am soo proud to be Canadian, I am a grown 27 yr old man and the tears are streaming down my face watching this. I LOVE Canada and I LOVE our Heroes, I never say I am Iraqi-Canadian, I always say I am Canadian-Iraqi. God be my witness if anyone dares to take an inch of this country I will leave my family and fight for it until I die.
@ib983 nice to here you like canada so much. Hey man you don't need say your muslim no one cares if your muslim, a jew, or Catholic as long as you can be a good person, and your proud of who you are you can make it just about anywhere in canada (:
@cubsplayre I know that first hand, I have been here for ten years, since I was 17 and I felt at home the moment I stepped into Canadian soil. I guess that was just what I was feeling at the time, I was emotional because I truly believe in what Canada stands for, I really do. Cheers.
The soldier at 2:08 is from my hometown. When we found out he had been killed, it really shook the town. It's a town of 3000 people, so alot of people knew him. Our history teacher told us stories about him from when she used to teach him, and I couldn't believe such a regular guy would give up his life for the freedom of strangers. R.I.P Corporal Matt Dinning, with the knowledge we'll never forget your courage and bravery and your love for Canada.
3:46 that soldier used to walk the very same hallways i walk today in school. This coming rememberance day I plan to give a speech at my school assembly and dedicate it to him. RIP Spr Stephan Stock. God bless the soldiers over seas, and the families of all coalition soldiers fighting for a better future. I graduate this year and plan to join the forces, but by the time my training is done we will have pulled out of afganistan, but i will do my best to honor my family, his family, and my country
3:46 Stephan Stock went to my highschool. He was, and still is an inpiration. God bless all the soldiers fighting for freedom of afgans and canadians. RIP Stephan Stock. John 15:13 "Greater love hath no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends"
I was in Afghanistan in 2007, and it was my job to organize the ramp ceremonies for 22 of these heroes. I had a hard time afterward with this, and the Highway of Heroes makes it easier to deal with. When I see the overwhelming support from everyday Canadians for our fallen comrades, it makes it feel like their death wasn't in vain and that they are appreciated. It helps provide closure. THANK YOU to everyone who comes out to it.

@73Farley THEY are all appreciated! By each and everyone of us in a different way. I never got the chance to see one of these sad "parades" on the highway of heroes. Hopefully no one will see another one.
WOW! Well done! And sadly too true. Having had a father in the army and growing up worrying about him when he went overseas and now a son in the army, songs like this mean all the more to me.
i searched this song up because i have been in the army cadet for 4 years and on my 3rd year the guy who created this song came in and sang it to us all and it really made me feel grateful for all the Canadian soldiers who fight over seas
When I first looked this up it was becuase I was joining the Canadian armed forces and wanted to learn a little more but after the video was over I started to cry and I couldent be more proud of the country I am now serving
If you support the troops, then you support the killing of thousand of innocent civilians and an evil dictatorship that places no value on human life.
Instead of supporting a a treasonous government, support an end to war and the safe return of the soldiers. That is the only way terrorism will end and peace can begin. It's time to wake up to the cold, hard truth of why our soldiers are dying in vain.

Please dont read my comment the wrong way, It is meant to mean that Candians welcome their fallen heros back home like no other country. I admire you all, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
fiendvanhier why dont you drag your ass to afganastan and fight terrorists and poverty lets see how cowerdly it is to stand up to terrorists huh well i am canadian.. fuck you eh o canada
Afghanistan is a occupied land, occupied by America and its STOOGES like Canada. With all the modern equipments of the WEST( RACISTS )the Afghan Freedom Fighters are winning the War.Afghans are fighting to liberate their land and the West is trying to colonize it. Now who do you expect to win? Afcourse the Afghans led by the Heroic Talibans(students). Get this into your head, OBAMA has asked its ADVISORS/GENERALS to prepare for an exit plan.
@fiendvanhier UHM OKI.!? what the hell is wrong with you?! if it weren't for all these people who have given their lives you wouldn't be allowed to live the way you live, in a free country! yeh, the government may not be the best and they may make stupid choices but our military is on of the best if not the best in the world and its for us that they do what they do so we can live freely, all the things they have given up for us and you call them cowards.? you're absolutely disgusting.
thank you for posting this... my worst fear is that ill have to carry a friend in a abx or that my friends will do the same for me god bless the fallen heroes

I would love to discuss this with you face to face. Iam a retired service member....I highly doubt that you would posses the courage to be able to do what my brothers did! But yet you can call them racists. It is so poetic that they fought and gave you the right to be able to talk about them in such a disgraceful manner.

This is a beautiful tribute to the heroes of our country. I may not support the war, but I support the people who are going over there to make a difference. May God grant them their families and friends peace.
R.i.p I thank those who served for our country and died for our freedom I will never forget you. Lest we forget
