Again today another fallen Canadian soldier travelled the Highway of Heros in the GTA( Greater Toronto Area). He was killed in Afghanistan on foot patrol- Steve Martin from Quebec. To honour our heros a stretch of highway on the 401 between Trenton and Toronto was given this designation. It is a grass roots movement of ordinary Canadians, firemen, police who line the bridges overlooking the highway to pay their respect and show the families we care as the cavalcade passes along the highway. Cars move over to make room for it. The Cars on the other side of the highway will honk, slow down to honour our loved one. When one of our Armed Forces member dies, all families across this country feel their pain. Other people wait at the Coroner's office in Toronto to give support to the families there. Hopefully, today will be the last time it will occur. Rest in peace! Canada is grateful for your sacrifice. Sorry for the Loss!
It’s hard not to be moved by the sacrifice paid by members of our Canadian Forces.
