A tribute to fallen soldiers on the the Road of Heroes!!!



















































The support of Canadians clearly shows the support and respect for all of our fallen brothers and for all those serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Terry

Your are absolutely right, these pictures are certainly ominous as they represent a fallen soldiers final journey. The saving grace is truly seeing the outpouring of respect and hounour the wonderful Canadian citizens have shown during this journey. With all the talk of many not supporting the mission or our troops, these pictures show that those kind of people are in the minority and that the majority of Canadians truly believe in what our soldiers are doing and when one of them falls we will be here to show our respect for the heroes they were and the actions they will be forever remembered.
