My father was posted from Cold Lake to CFB Trenton and we lived there from 1993 until 2008 (he passed away from cancer) but anytime these funerals happened and I drove by, I used to cry really badly. Anytime I drive on the Highway of Heroes, I cry badly. Military life is hard but is an honour. Very great video, definitely brought a tear to my eye.

@Rahkayelle Thank you. This video is especially emotional for me. My mother lost her battle with cancer while I was making this so to me, it is also a tribute to her. It doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I tear up every time.

Dear Canada. I just wanted to say thank you. I landed in Gander on 9/11 and I have never been treated better. And you stood with us without us even having to ask. I swear that we're trying to do better. May God bless the maple leaf and your fallen heros. Love, a thankful American.

Every soldier ever to fight is a hero. Except for Hitler who used his power to nearly out Jews and their beliefs to extinction! He killed babies, kids, women and men alike. The Taliban now don't give a shit 'bout the depression their causing. Killing innocent men and women. Bastards.

You do the same drill as the British army, you also look smart when you are on parade. Long way up short way down, not a flick of the wrist like the rednecks do. I am with you guys, you have my respect for the job you do, May your God go with you, good luck and return home safe.

A good occupying soldier is a dead occupying soldier.

[OutdoorSurvivalist1]

Each and every soldier that dies for his/her country is a hero reguardless of nationality, idioligy or ethanic background. Every soldier is an honorable individual because he/she is fighting to keep us safe. You should respect every single one of the. Why? Because they fought and died for what they believed in and such a sacrifice should be rememebered and honored forever.
