U S Media Tribute to Highway of Heroes
Просмотров 537 тыс.11 лет назад
I initially uploaded this to RUclips Nov 11, 2008 under my sudo account. I've decided to close out the sudo account, so I'm re-uploading it to my own account. U.S. news rarely pays attention to news from Canada, but a touching tribute by Canadians to it's fallen war heroes has caught the attention of the U.S. media.

    Her son is not only a Canadian hero but an American hero as well because Canada is not an Ally that's too impersonal their family.

    Inspired by stories of the "Highway of Heroes," Canadian rock band The Trews wrote an excellent tribute song with that title.

    We don't honor a flag or a god. We honor the PEOPLE that give us a good place to live in. That is OUR patriotism. Something REAL. Not a piece of cloth or an intangible being. Maybe that is one reason why we have that fewer crazies and ranters per capita than some overly nationalist countries.

    I maybe a proud Canadian and have a huge respect for the Canadian Military but that extends to the American Military as well. My boyfriend was a Sergeant in the US Army (he’s now Retired). Both country’s troops have one thing in common, they fight and sacrifice themselves for their country so that they can keep us safe. They’ve seen indescribable horrors that we can only begin to fathom and we won’t know what those truly are until we’ve experienced them for ourselves. They are our heroes. They paid their price for freedom. May God watch over them, protect them, and keep them safe. For those who died in combat while serving, they died a hero’s death. They died by fighting for us and protecting our freedom. May God continue to watch over them in Heaven. Thank you to all of the men and women who have served or are continuing to serve our countries. Thank you for continuing to fight for our freedom to protect us and keep us safe. Thank you for sacrificing your lives for us. Whether you’re in the Canadian or American Military, you are all the true heroes.

    It warms my heart and gives me solace in the face of unimaginable loss that the mother of a young private lost in combat takes comfort from her fellow citizens showing up to pay respects and recognition to one of their own. I wish everyone a peaceful and reflective Remembrance Day.

    America’s Gallant Soldiers Poem By: David O. Melton America’s gallant soldiers Serve to keep America free, And some pay freedom’s highest cost And die protecting you and me These valiant men and women Whose mortal bodies now lay still, In death earned the greatest honor Herald by a lone bugler’s skill Because they preserve our nation Chosen honor guards stand abreast, While a lone bugle sounds out taps For each great soldier laid to rest Yet far greater than all these things Beyond the stones of marble white, Behold God’s tribute of honor That’s shining eternally bright Greater love has no one than this, To lay down one’s life for one’s friends, This honor is proclaimed by God Over everything it transcends Now honor our gallant soldiers Who under freedom’s banner fall, Soldiers who had to leave loved ones And made sacrifices for all Uplift their hurt and grieving child Left to long suffer and travail, Each soldier’s widow and orphan Greatly needs our help to prevail Let our nation and our people Honor all sacrifices made, Now honor our gallant soldiers And our sacred freedoms they saved

    I remember a few years ago it had snowed and i was going to my sisters to plough her driveway with my ATV,, I came to a bridge on the highway of heros and there wer 4 very old vets trying to shovel the banks that the snowplough had pushed up against the guard rails, I ask them what was going on ,,they looked exhausted , they said they were waiting for a soldier to come by, I took my snow plough and cleaned it out for them, on my way back there were about 15 men there all in uniform holding there flags up high

    Too bad they left out the initial 'ramp' ceremony in Kandahar for the fallen soldier. Incredibly moving. Standing ramrod straight on the tarmac as a civilian behind our military men and women listening to the bag pipes, watching his mates load him(them) onto a C130 for the ride home...never felt so Cdn as I did on that far away tarmac.
