Highway of Heros in Canada

[Hylton]

I was returning to Ottawa from Toronto (eastbound) right when those 6 soldiers were killed last summer. On every overpass stood hundreds of people waving Canadian flags and had signs facing the west bound traffic. This went on for about 30 miles and I could not figure out why since nothing was going on in the other lane of traffic.

Then I see a funeral procession coming towards me holding up 8 lanes of on-coming traffic. Talk about a surge of emotion hitting you as 6 hursts in a row pass you by and then you realize who's remains were in those vehicles. I'll never forget that moment.

4 seperate local news channels featured that same moment on their newscast over here.

Choked me up too..

Even though that stretch of road is only a few miles long
most of us Canadians and our American friends were also on that road too.
