When I was about 12 years old, I played runescape with a Canadian Soldier. I played with him and talked to him almost every day, he never minded talking to a little kid and he gave that time of my life a lot of happiness. That February he got shipped out to afghanistan. He said he would be gone for months. In that time I stopped playing. I never knew his name. I still think about him every year around this time, wondering if he was one of the ones to go down that highway in a casket. Wherever you are buddy, I hope you found peace and happiness whether its on earth or in heaven or wherever you go, cause you're a hero to me and the country and you deserve it.
My Father came within a hair's breadth of making the trip down the 401. He Commanded a Leopard C2 Mexas. They hit an IED outside of Kandahar, and the ammo box for both the main gun and the Coaxial Machine Gun cooked off. His Driver, Gunner, and Loader weren't so lucky. I was 3 years old at the time. The first time I ever truly realized how lucky I am to have him was during a trip to a museum in Ontario 9 years later. We came across about a third of an armored corps headset. Being a naive 12 year old, I of course started questioning, not recognizing how uncomfortable my father was seeing items from Afghanistan layed out on that display. "I wonder if that guy made it home." "Max, that was my headset." To *all* the troops who served and continue to serve in the Canadian Army, and every Army the world over thank you for all you do for us. To all the less glorified positions, like supply, maintenance, even the cooks, thank you for making sure that armour was strong enough to hold out against a case full of hesh cooking off. Thank you for making sure our troops are kept well fed, well supplied, and healthy. And to the Ambulance drivers, Military or Civilian, the paramedics who go with them into objectively hostile environments, and the doctors who work at the exclusion of all else to help their patients: *Thank you for making sure my father made it home.*
"Carry me softly, down the highway of heroes. True patriot love, there was never more." RIP Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. Your nation loves you and misses you very much. We will never, ever forget.
I say a prayer for his little boy whenever I think of him… although I know he wouldn’t be a little boy anymore. Time goes so fast. RIP Corporal - never forgotten.
As an former canadian soldier this song always makes me cry. I had the pleasure of serving with many outstanding Canadian soldiers in Kosovo and Afghanistan . Still to this day I am privileged work with ex and serving soldiers and civilians from many nations .
the canadian flag doesnt fly because of the wind moving it.. but because of the last breath of every soldier who died for it.... RIP to all the soldier who died for our freedom
I was born in Iraq and therefore its my mother but I grew up in Ontario , Canada and Canada is my father that I am so proud to be the Son of , and if one day i was to die for my country like these heroes did then i have lived a great life , God bless Canada and all Canadians
@@awhitedude3026 first of all, Omar Khadr was NOT an immigrant. He was born in Canada. Second of all, he was a brainwashed child. Shame on you for your lack of compassion and common sense.
I'm a high school teacher in Southern Ontario and we are pretty close to a stretch of the highway. Today marked my sixth year in a row showing my students this video (and Leonard Cohen reciting "Flanders Feilds") and talking to them about the people who we owe our lives to. I am always uplifted by how engaged they get in the song, it's lyrics, and the video clips. Today when I said "we have 5 minutes left in the period, are there any more questions you want to cover before dismissal?" They were shocked that the period had flown by so quickly, that went to show just how much discussion this song generated. I haven't served, but I have family and dear friends who have. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this song and this video. It is a precious key to unlocking the hearts and minds of the next generation and I will use it every year that I have the privilege to be in a classroom.
Miss I am very proud of you I am a Canadian Vet I severed from 1978 to 1990. Back then Canada did not talk about fallen Canadians. Sad but true Canada has lost more Canadian Soldiers on peacekeeping tours the any other conflict since the Second World War. But this song has changed everything and you sharing with your students is outstanding. so when I read this ( I haven't served, ) I would like to say thank You for your services and Thank you and your Students for your support. Peace out
I am native first nations Mi'kmaq Indigenous Peoples of Canada ,and can i say with the Creators love ,that you make this country proud ! a hero of brothers and sisters you shall remain,and may a thousand Eagle feathers fly you home ! Godspeed Brothers and Sisters ---Wela'lin for your service XO
From an American Veteran, Thank you! Words fail to describe what many have gone through to protect our way of life. And to our "Brothers and Sisters" in uniform who never made it back, we salute you for your sacrifice. "We will see you when we get there." "Oh Canada..."
The thing that sucks so bad so much, is that the people riding the Highway of Heros, wont ever get to sing O'Canada ever again. the 401 runs through my City, and its a somber sight to see the procession of police cars and a hearse followed by more police cars. You'd almost think a really important person died.... but someone important to many people is in that casket going 100 km/h (62mph)
Lost a buddy that was on a tour in Afghanistan and two more buddies recently while in peace time. This time of the year again, I say to myself that it should get easier moving on as time goes by, but sometimes it really isn’t. Pte Terry Street, Cpl James Choi, Cpl Will Furdas.. til Valhalla
Since it's after midnight it's now Remembrance Day 2024. Just listened to In Flanders Fields song. But I also feel so much emotion and come to listen to this song as well. I play this on September 11th and Remembrance Day. Grew up in Cobourg, Ontario and was in highschool when a soldier was expected to come through. We passed over the second Cobourg bridge and the guys took their hats off and we all had a moment of silence as we crossed the 401. We were just highschool kids on a bus, but it was such a powerful moment it will stick with me. Unfortunately we were too early but people had already started to gather and it was all we could do at the time. Lest We Forget
This song makes me cry. I think of all men and women who had died while serving their country. RIP and Salute to all of those who died in uniform. You will never be forgotten
X Kloopsch Ya like I don't cry so like I would just go and do something interesting like watching utube or going on the computer and playing ROBLOX or just go on the TV
Being a proud Canadian soldier, in light of recent events, I am going to sing the hell out of this when they play it tonight, IN MY HOMETOWN OF OTTAWA!!!!!! Proud and Strong I will live for my country and I refuse to be defined by the actions of others. I will create my own fate.
Here once again, this is our great nation’s second national anthem, May the souls of our fallen Rest In Peace, and May their sacrifices never be forgotten.
I am proud to be Canadian. This song is so fantastic. This is my favourite song of all time. Also I am a little Scottish so the bagpipes and the song itself makes my day. It's nice to know there's people out there who fought for our freedom. This song is just so awesome
I listen to this song all the time. I don’t just listen to this on remembrance day because they deserve to be remembered and honoured every day. God bless the fallen soldoers of my great nation 🇨🇦
I cry every time I see this video. As a wife of a CAF member who has served overseas, it brings chills. A very well done tribute to the men and women of our CAF. Thank you.
I remember that day. I was told to rush into my house by neighbors. So close to where the gunshots first started. Rest in peace to the three officers that died and all those who have served for our beautiful country
my brother lost 4 friends in Afghanistan when he was over there in 06-07. This song makes me cry every time i hear "add one more name from ontario" because his friend was the next soldier to die after Nichola. RIP
I had never heard of this song before. Then this Rememberance Day morning my clock radio woke me up. First "The Last Post"; snooze button; then "Highway of Heroes". I lost my Uncle Simon before I was born on the beaches of Normandy in the 2nd World War. My God rest the souls of all.
Today is Remembrance Day. Remembering the fallen. Praying for peace. God bless our country and the world. Played this in our church yesterday. Very moved. Thank you.
THANK YOU TO ALL CANADIAN SOLDIERS, PAST TO PRESENT, COLONY TO DOMINION TO NATIONHOOD, FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US, YOUR COUNTRYMEN & WOMEN. THANK YOU ALL!!!!
Yea, Canada is no better at a FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL, I can see ur reason for opting out as a decent explanation. Without the STATE and the MILITARY, u, me and all canadians may not be as capable of defending our nation and freedoms [Speech, Financial, Medical, Economic, Human-Rights, Personal, e.c.t.] from those who wish war on basic human rights and freedoms, so U could talk shit about the STATE and the MILITARY. However the STATE and the MILITARY are needed to some extent for protection/management of a country against those who mean to invade/harm u, me, and all canadians. In a historical sense, humans banded together into villages/towns/cities for preservation/protection against invasion/war. So let me put a question to u, Would u rather fight everybody in a military-style fight singlehandedly or Would u rather have an armed-force to back u up in a military-style fight?
I don't worship the politicians who run the country. Actually, I Fucking Despise the leaders because i don't see what they promise is going on. Many new JOBS BEING CREATED... WHAT A FUCKIN PIPE-DREAM THAT WOULD BE? How-about they get their heads out of their asses?
John Master i applaud your enthusiasm and its obvious that you love your country but our rights and freedoms havent been at risk since WW2. too believe other wise is a little niave, We Have Always Worn Helmets Of Blue.
I'm Not Saying ''We should be always on a war footing'', even those Who Served Or Serve In The Military As Peacekeepers With U.N Forces Or Assisting During Natural Disasters Like The Manitoba Or Calgary Floods Should Be Considered As Much National Heroes as those Who Serve Their Country During Wartime [Past, Present, or Future].
May us at the 204, Northbay Algonquin royal Canadian army cadet corps stand tall, speak loud and proud to remember all who have fallen for our glorious country, like this comment if you thank the soldiers who have passed away and who still live on to tell there story's! May piece be with all, no matter who you are, color, gender and race, we are all equal! So remember, lest we forget
This always makes me cry. I live very close to the military airport when the Heros came home. Never got an opportunity to join the other proud Canadians on the bridges, as I don’t have a way to get there, but I was there in my heart every single time one of our called Camden home. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I love this song. My Grandfather was a veteran and I think of him on this day and every vet who gave their life for us. Rest Well Heroes. You deserve it.
Our son came home, but many of his mates traveled the "Highway of Heroes" They still live with the war, as their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers did. As do many women, women served as well!
Today i am typing this it is remembrance day and i just wanted to listen to this song because im in high school and in middle school i heard this song every remembrance day assembly. But i didn't hear it in high school i was actually upset. So today i am listen to this song to remind me of my childhood and may all the soldiers that died for our country Rest In Peace 🙏
The first time I ever heard this song it was on the radio in the car when i was driving between Kingston and Gananoque on the 401, I didnt know at that time that that was the day that Cpl Nathan Cirillo was being transported from Ottawa home to Hamilton, I knew something was going on because of all the cars lining the shoulder and the overpasses and shortly after this song came on i saw the cop cars and hearse pass me going the other way and i became overwhelmed with emotion. Such a beautiful song with so much emotion behind it. Thank you to anyone who has ever served this great county.
Do not live in Canada, but my grandmother came to the US in the early 30's from Montreal. She had so pride where she came from ,she shared her love of Canada with me .Toronto has become my home away from home. Highway of heroes always brings tears to my eyes for family that served in Canada and family that served in the US thank you for sure a wonderful song
Today I hugged my nephew and my nieces as they song this song in their school. I told them with tears in my eyes, i am so proud of you, I love you, and thank you. Now I want to say that to my fellow Canadians. I love you, your strength, your passion, caring, and I'm proud to share this nation with you all. Much love this Friday.
Even though I am not Canadian, I am glad I found this song on this Day of all Days. It will now be a constant in my playlists and one that I will remember to play every Veterans Day or Remembrance Day. Thank you for recording this.
Tons of people say this but you’re only right if you’re Canadian. We live in the greatest country in the world! The Trews are the best, they play great music and pay tribute to our veterans. Huge amount of respect.
Canadians fought hard and proud for my freedom - they are not forgotten - here the Canadian Soldier has still all the respect - Thank you Canada ! If you need us we will be there
Canadian here, I hope we never forget the importance the significance of Remembrance Day of the sacrifice of the veterans who returned home whether on the Highway of Heroes, or walking off a plane and most importantly the many who rest in places like Europe and the many other countries. Lest We Forget. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
This song pulls out so many emotions in me everytime i hear it, sadness & sorrow, pride & joy. I guess at the end of the day one line sticks out "true patriot love, there was never more". Thank you to all our fallen hero's who fought and died so that generations may live in peace and be free, we will never forget.
I served in the USAF, all veterans are brothers, and we all know how it was and is. Don't thank me for my service, thank the ones who didn't come home.
+rj frame You deserve as many thanks as all our fallen Brothers, You and soon I will be a part of keeping our countries safe and plenty of other countries safe so yes you do deserve thanks and those who fell to keep it safe deserve to be remembered forever in our hearts. So Sir Thanks Very much for your service.
Ryan Kisnics We’re not cleaning up the U.S messes, we just lend a hand, most of the time its governments that make the mess but these soldiers don’t ask to start a war. As Canadians it’s in our blood to help our many allies no matter what the situation may be. I have respect for U.S vets, they know they can count on us and we can count on them!
RIP Cpl Cirillo. Long will your spirit live on in those you loved and who loved you. Though short your life, your courage, your strength, your love and testament to living with honor and pride, was greater by far than most. Stand down, Cpl Cirillo, know others will remember your courage and love of Canada and freedom and carry on in your memory.
Capt. Kevin Hagen, Sub-Lt. Abbigail Cowbrough, Capt. Brenden Ian MacDonald, Master Cpl. Matthew Cousins, Sub-Lt. Matthew Pyke, Capt. Maxime Miron-Morin. Rest in Peace. Godspeed.
My brother went to afghan on a three month deployment and they were on a patrol mission and he was literally so close to getting sniped by a Taliban sniper. He survived. He's home now. Safe and sound.
It disgusts me that there are 86 people at this point who dislike this video. Our soldiers, whether you agree with their deployment or not, represent our country and the people who live here. I for one could never look at a soldier who has given their life in poor light. I wear blue, not green, and thank soldiers every day for the life they have chosen. Although some day I may die on the home front, serving law and order, they have passed while far from those who love them. They are true heroes and I think of them every day when I drive on the Highway of Heroes.
The bagpipes are what always get me, every time. My Dad is a serving member of the Canadian Military and I'm the proudest son and love him to the ends of the Earth. He is my hero now and forever.
Saw you guys in concert at the Delaware State Fair in Harrington Delaware. This was the last song you played. I play it for everyone I know that has ever served. Great tradition for honoring your fallen heroes. God Bless.
Who would have thought I would be going down the RUclips rabbit hole today and it would have led me here. This song messes me up every time I hear it, and then reading the comments for the first time hit every heart string I have. 8 am and tears in my eyes...
My best friend was able to get clearance to come home for my birthday.... I begged him to come.... the day before he was supposed to leave.... his chopper was shot down..... he died 2 days before my birthday....... I still some days believe that it was my fault...... he is my biggest hero.... i truly miss him... god bless all who serve and have served..... and the family’s and friends..... thank you... to all of you...
I live in Trenton Ontario and every time there was a repatriation at the airbase you saw and felt the patriot love that flowed from tthe crowd that gathered at the boundary fence of the airbase... a sad part of our nations past ... this song difinitely conveys that emotion.
I'd never heard or known of this song's existence before today. So sad, and so fitting. Rest well, WO Patrice Vincent and Cpl Nathan Cirillo. Your honourable service has ended, and we can ask no more of you than this.
And don't forget about those that made it home and have to deal with it everywhere and everyday .Canada The Proud and The Free. Love my brother soldiers. PRO PRATRA
To all those who died or fought a war, to all those who serve and served, no matter what nation, religion or anything, honour follow them as they served their nation, and protected their people may they rest for ever in peace, lest we forget.
Another band to be proud of from Canada, one of my favourite of all bands from Nova Scotia, love all their songs, real quality, lyrics, music, love the lead singer alot Terri Leckner, Montreal
My Great Great uncle Frank LaRonde passed away yesterday, June 22, 2014... He was on the beaches... R. I. P. to all the Brave men and women... Uncle Frank, THANK YOU! Love you!!! NEVER FORGOTTEN!
Yeah defend our country, some just murder peoples in Arabie being Manipulated/brainwashed by the United Statiens. I'm not saying i disliked this song because i respect it but in the same time i cant say that...
PainVsPerfect Canadian Soldiers are there to restore the peace. They don't "murder people in Arabie being manipulated/brainwashed by the United States" as you like to put it. These people are risking their lives so that they can restore the peace of nations that have been destroyed.
there are dislikes simply because the soldiers this song represents fought for our freedoms and because this is a free land people are free to express themselves and their opinions right or wrong its there choice and if you dont agree with it thats your opinion i for one think this song is perfect and dont see how anyone would not like it but opinions differ "LESS WE FORGET"
Beautiful song. This is the first time I have heard it. Very appropriate for our two fallen soldiers. RIP Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and CPL. Nathan Cirillo.
just moved to Nova Scotia this past summer and had never heard this song before, not even on Rememberance Day. it's now Rememberance Day 2019, this song is on the radio, and i'm in love with it
Today 92 years ago on the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month we declared peace and an end to the war to end all wars. And since that day we remember the brave Canadians who fought and still fight today for the freedom and protection of our beloved country.
I was in carders in in my time I met so many great Canadian solders and veterans and they always had the best stories and where always so kind and patient. Proud Canadian right here 🇨🇦
I don't have any close family members that were in the war, but my Great grandfather was in world war II, and had signed up because his friend talked him into it, only to find out after that his friend couldn't go to war because he had flat feet. Luckily, he lived and returned home safely, and lived a happy life, until he recently passed away 2 weeks ago.I'm very proud of him, and very proud of our country. Isn't a place on this universe I'd rather be than Canada
Gotta throw this one on at least once a year, get a little teary eyed, appreciate the friends who went and came back, appreciate their friends who didn't come back a whole lot more
Heartfelt thanks to the men and women of our Armed Forces, past, present and future. Your service to Canada is forever held dear in every Canadian's heart.
2020... We still remember, Are fallen heroes on this day. this might be a hurtfully year but Les we forget the heroes that save are planet from war. The heroes that served time for us to make peace to the world. Might I be Yong but to dislike this video you are monsters all 500 of you. Sad. We remember. When i a older i want to become a solder like these girls and guys that saved are world... We Remember, We care, We Wont Forget. 11/11/2020❤️
a good friend...... NO A BROTHER to the loss of war... I was away working in Alberta and didnt find out till a week after the fact.. devistation is an understatement. I'll always carry a huge empty hole in me..... I didn't get the chance to grieve with his family.... I was a zombie for weeks. to tell you the truth I still am.... The loss of him will always be a major holle in my life. I bawled when word finally reached me one day at work that he was gone and it was , very very real. I'll never get over his loss..... I can't imagine his family getting over it but the Godsmack of his loss while working in the middle of nowhere after his funeral hit me like a sledge hammer..... needless to say I'm done with that part of my work life. I shed a tear for every soldier lost..... I'm not military but since I've been known to stop my bike and salute fallen heroes and/or Military personnel.......

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Cpl Cirillo will be making his last trip home home from Ottawa to Hamilton today along the Highway of Heroes. Rest easy Cpl, your guard is over.
The way you worded that, Kevin, is perfect. I really don't like the last four words you have to say though. It's true, but it's the saddest part.
Derek Desjardins definitely the saddest 4 words! He passed the torch and another soldier grabs it. We don't forget though!

Since it's after midnight it's now Remembrance Day 2024. Just listened to In Flanders Fields song. But I also feel so much emotion and come to listen to this song as well. I play this on September 11th and Remembrance Day.
Grew up in Cobourg, Ontario and was in highschool when a soldier was expected to come through. We passed over the second Cobourg bridge and the guys took their hats off and we all had a moment of silence as we crossed the 401.

Crying doesn't help - go and do something you are interested in.
X Kloopsch Ya like I don't cry so like I would just go and do something interesting like watching utube or going on the computer and playing ROBLOX or just go on the TV

This song has such a powerful message behind it about the highway and the people that go down it. Proud to be Canadian
WAHT is the authors message behind this please
Being a proud Canadian soldier, in light of recent events, I am going to sing the hell out of this when they play it tonight, IN MY HOMETOWN OF OTTAWA!!!!!! Proud and Strong I will live for my country and I refuse to be defined by the actions of others. I will create my own fate.
Thank you for your service.

Cheers brother! I'm having a day of reminiscing. Retired 10 years now. But love my country just as much.
Thank you for your service.
Here once again, this is our great nation’s second national anthem, May the souls of our fallen Rest In Peace, and May their sacrifices never be forgotten.
May we remember all the soldiers who have fought and died to protect our freedom in this great country 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wish all the radio stations would play this today.
they do. q104 hfx plays it sometimes during the remembrance day
101.9 The Giant plays it at 11:11 AM every Remembrance Day....Lest We Forget. Canada Forever 🇨🇦
My favourite rendition with the snares and pipes! Eyes water up every time I hear this.
I am proud to be Canadian. This song is so fantastic. This is my favourite song of all time. Also I am a little Scottish so the bagpipes and the song itself makes my day. It's nice to know there's people out there who fought for our freedom. This song is just so awesome
Who’s here on Remembrance Day listening to this
me
me
Yep
"sobbing in background" me
Only here because my school used to play this every year, basically tradition at this point.
I listen to this song all the time. I don’t just listen to this on remembrance day because they deserve to be remembered and honoured every day. God bless the fallen soldoers of my great nation 🇨🇦
I cry every time I see this video. As a wife of a CAF member who has served overseas, it brings chills. A very well done tribute to the men and women of our CAF. Thank you.
Thank you for your contribution and sacrifice and for your hubands service to our country...
See but where's the RCN in that we're clearly the best branch
To the fallen rcmp officers from my hometown of moncton nb .... Thank you for your service!!!!
Hello fellow moncton-goer
I remember that day. I was told to rush into my house by neighbors. So close to where the gunshots first started. Rest in peace to the three officers that died and all those who have served for our beautiful country
And nova Scotia
my brother lost 4 friends in Afghanistan when he was over there in 06-07. This song makes me cry every time i hear "add one more name from ontario" because his friend was the next soldier to die after Nichola. RIP
I had never heard of this song before. Then this Rememberance Day morning my clock radio woke me up.
First "The Last Post"; snooze button; then "Highway of Heroes".
I lost my Uncle Simon before I was born on the beaches of Normandy in the 2nd World War.
My God rest the souls of all.
Thank you for your loss. We all have freedom because of Normandy. Canada won that day
Thank you for your loss. We all have freedom because of Normandy. Canada won that day. Princess Patricia light infantry out of Edmonton
Today is Remembrance Day. Remembering the fallen. Praying for peace. God bless our country and the world. Played this in our church yesterday. Very moved. Thank you.
My Canadian fiancé cryed watching this music 😢 and I love listening to the song it touch my heart 😢❤❤
THANK YOU TO ALL CANADIAN SOLDIERS, PAST TO PRESENT, COLONY TO DOMINION TO NATIONHOOD, FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US, YOUR COUNTRYMEN & WOMEN. THANK YOU ALL!!!!
***** GO HOME!!!!!!!! WE HATE YOU!
Yea, Canada is no better at a FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL, I can see ur reason for opting out as a decent explanation. Without the STATE and the MILITARY, u, me and all canadians may not be as capable of defending our nation and freedoms [Speech, Financial, Medical, Economic, Human-Rights, Personal, e.c.t.] from those who wish war on basic human rights and freedoms, so U could talk shit about the STATE and the MILITARY. However the STATE and the MILITARY are needed to some extent for protection/management of a country against those who mean to invade/harm u, me, and all canadians. In a historical sense, humans banded together into villages/towns/cities for preservation/protection against invasion/war. So let me put a question to u, Would u rather fight everybody in a military-style fight singlehandedly or Would u rather have an armed-force to back u up in a military-style fight?
I don't worship the politicians who run the country. Actually, I Fucking Despise the leaders because i don't see what they promise is going on. Many new JOBS BEING CREATED... WHAT A FUCKIN PIPE-DREAM THAT WOULD BE? How-about they get their heads out of their asses?
John Master i applaud your enthusiasm and its obvious that you love your country but our rights and freedoms havent been at risk since WW2. too believe other wise is a little niave, We Have Always Worn Helmets Of Blue.
I'm Not Saying ''We should be always on a war footing'', even those Who Served Or Serve In The Military As Peacekeepers With U.N Forces Or Assisting During Natural Disasters Like The Manitoba Or Calgary Floods Should Be Considered As Much National Heroes as those Who Serve Their Country During Wartime [Past, Present, or Future].
RIP Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and every other Canadian soldier who has fallen, in combat and out. Lest We Forget.
May us at the 204, Northbay Algonquin royal Canadian army cadet corps stand tall, speak loud and proud to remember all who have fallen for our glorious country, like this comment if you thank the soldiers who have passed away and who still live on to tell there story's! May piece be with all, no matter who you are, color, gender and race, we are all equal! So remember, lest we forget
And 1292 lord strathcona's horse
My mom just mentioned it and I had to listen to it even if it makes me sad. God bless all the fallen soldiers and the ones who survived.
This always makes me cry. I live very close to the military airport when the Heros came home. Never got an opportunity to join the other proud Canadians on the bridges, as I don’t have a way to get there, but I was there in my heart every single time one of our called Camden home. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I love this song. My Grandfather was a veteran and I think of him on this day and every vet who gave their life for us. Rest Well Heroes. You deserve it.
Our son came home, but many of his mates traveled the "Highway of Heroes"
They still live with the war, as their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers did. As do many women, women served as well!
Today i am typing this it is remembrance day and i just wanted to listen to this song because im in high school and in middle school i heard this song every remembrance day assembly. But i didn't hear it in high school i was actually upset. So today i am listen to this song to remind me of my childhood and may all the soldiers that died for our country Rest In Peace 🙏
I was in elementary school when I first heard this song. I am 22 years old now. I am now training to be in the Canadian armed forces.
The first time I ever heard this song it was on the radio in the car when i was driving between Kingston and Gananoque on the 401, I didnt know at that time that that was the day that Cpl Nathan Cirillo was being transported from Ottawa home to Hamilton, I knew something was going on because of all the cars lining the shoulder and the overpasses and shortly after this song came on i saw the cop cars and hearse pass me going the other way and i became overwhelmed with emotion. Such a beautiful song with so much emotion behind it. Thank you to anyone who has ever served this great county.
I am the mother of a Canadian soldier who served her country for 30 years in the army. She was in Afghanistan twice . This song is so beautiful.
Is she still with us? Or is she gone.... I cannot imagine the sadness of a mother losing a child, much less a friend.
Thank you for honouring our soldiers... True Patriot Love! ❤🇨🇦❤
Today I am watching six of our finest being brought home. Once again the highway of heroes is taking them home. Thank you for your service. R.I.P
Do not live in Canada, but my grandmother came to the US in the early 30's from Montreal. She had so pride where she came from ,she shared her love of Canada with me .Toronto has become my home away from home. Highway of heroes always brings tears to my eyes for family that served in Canada and family that served in the US thank you for sure a wonderful song
Today I hugged my nephew and my nieces as they song this song in their school. I told them with tears in my eyes, i am so proud of you, I love you, and thank you. Now I want to say that to my fellow Canadians. I love you, your strength, your passion, caring, and I'm proud to share this nation with you all. Much love this Friday.
Dallas Strilcuk ya canada
Love from ireland sir (y)
Ryan Smith love back sir
Man you make me cry. I don't know you but love back
Even though I am not Canadian, I am glad I found this song on this Day of all Days. It will now be a constant in my playlists and one that I will remember to play every Veterans Day or Remembrance Day. Thank you for recording this.
For the fact your not Canadian this is highly respectful, thank you.
Visit anytime brother!!! 🇨🇦
Duwt cat
Tons of people say this but you’re only right if you’re Canadian. We live in the greatest country in the world! The Trews are the best, they play great music and pay tribute to our veterans. Huge amount of respect.
Amazing beautiful song. God bless our friends and allies from Canada from an American Marine. Semper Fi.
It’s another 11th my Canadian brothers and Sisters. Make sure to pay your respects to those who’ve fought valiantly for our freedom.
Canadians fought hard and proud for my freedom - they are not forgotten - here the Canadian Soldier has still all the respect - Thank you Canada !
If you need us we will be there
My school plays this exact video every remembrance day. I can’t help but shed a tear or two.
Yup my school playd this too. God bless our troops🇨🇦🇨🇦
Canadian here, I hope we never forget the importance the significance of Remembrance Day of the sacrifice of the veterans who returned home whether on the Highway of Heroes, or walking off a plane and most importantly the many who rest in places like Europe and the many other countries. Lest We Forget. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
This song pulls out so many emotions in me everytime i hear it, sadness & sorrow, pride & joy. I guess at the end of the day one line sticks out "true patriot love, there was never more". Thank you to all our fallen hero's who fought and died so that generations may live in peace and be free, we will never forget.
I served in the USAF, all veterans are brothers, and we all know how it was and is. Don't thank me for my service, thank the ones who didn't come home.
+rj frame You deserve as many thanks as all our fallen Brothers, You and soon I will be a part of keeping our countries safe and plenty of other countries safe so yes you do deserve thanks and those who fell to keep it safe deserve to be remembered forever in our hearts. So Sir Thanks Very much for your service.
My brother wants to grow up to be an Airforce pilot
rj frame they’re home now 😊 and they’ll be home forever ♾ 💙🇨🇦
Ryan Kisnics We’re not cleaning up the U.S messes, we just lend a hand, most of the time its governments that make the mess but these soldiers don’t ask to start a war. As Canadians it’s in our blood to help our many allies no matter what the situation may be. I have respect for U.S vets, they know they can count on us and we can count on them!
RIP Cpl Cirillo.
Long will your spirit live on in those you loved and who loved you. Though short your life, your courage, your strength, your love and testament to living with honor and pride, was greater by far than most.
Stand down, Cpl Cirillo, know others will remember your courage and love of Canada and freedom and carry on in your memory.
i cried when i read your comment
All I can do is salute to him he served his country well 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I
I love you so much!🎃🎄🎈🎈🎈🥰🗺️
I love your sign so much!🎃🎄🗺️🌎🌍🎇🎇🔊🔊🔊🔉🔊🔉🔉🔊🔊
Capt. Kevin Hagen, Sub-Lt. Abbigail Cowbrough, Capt. Brenden Ian MacDonald, Master Cpl. Matthew Cousins, Sub-Lt. Matthew Pyke, Capt. Maxime Miron-Morin. Rest in Peace. Godspeed.
My brother went to afghan on a three month deployment and they were on a patrol mission and he was literally so close to getting sniped by a Taliban sniper. He survived. He's home now. Safe and sound.
GoldWing _hi goldwing I'm so glad too hear you're brother made it home love from Australia thank you for your service
God bless him.
Thank you
He’s a hero for risking his life man send him love from me
Thank God !
It disgusts me that there are 86 people at this point who dislike this video. Our soldiers, whether you agree with their deployment or not, represent our country and the people who live here. I for one could never look at a soldier who has given their life in poor light. I wear blue, not green, and thank soldiers every day for the life they have chosen. Although some day I may die on the home front, serving law and order, they have passed while far from those who love them. They are true heroes and I think of them every day when I drive on the Highway of Heroes.
Thank you for making this song because my great grandfather and great uncle went into the war and never came back so thank you so much
Today, not just you, not just your family, we all mourn their sacrifice, I mourn with you, I'm truly sorry
Love the Trews. Love this song. Goose bumps every time I hear this song!! Proud to be Canadian. Lest we forget!!!
The bagpipes are what always get me, every time. My Dad is a serving member of the Canadian Military and I'm the proudest son and love him to the ends of the Earth. He is my hero now and forever.
Saw you guys in concert at the Delaware State Fair in Harrington Delaware. This was the last song you played. I play it for everyone I know that has ever served. Great tradition for honoring your fallen heroes. God Bless.
THIS SONG WILL NEVER DIE FROM 2022
One this day of November 11 we remember the soldiers who have fought for our freedom and have died for our freedom. Remember lest we forget.
Who would have thought I would be going down the RUclips rabbit hole today and it would have led me here. This song messes me up every time I hear it, and then reading the comments for the first time hit every heart string I have. 8 am and tears in my eyes...
Great band and a fantastic tribute to a fallen Canadian soldier. Well done Trews!
My best friend was able to get clearance to come home for my birthday.... I begged him to come.... the day before he was supposed to leave.... his chopper was shot down..... he died 2 days before my birthday....... I still some days believe that it was my fault...... he is my biggest hero.... i truly miss him... god bless all who serve and have served..... and the family’s and friends..... thank you... to all of you...
I live in Trenton Ontario and every time there was a repatriation at the airbase you saw and felt the patriot love that flowed from tthe crowd that gathered at the boundary fence of the airbase... a sad part of our nations past ... this song difinitely conveys that emotion.
The drummers in this video wore the same headdresses as the Argyll Highlanders, Cpl Cirillo's regiment.
Rest in peace, Nathan.
It's a Glen. Most highland Corps. and pipe bands wear them
Tucker Campbell A Glen, eh? Didn't know, thanks man.
Forrest Gump It's called a Glengarry. I wore one for 15 years in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Scotland)! Ne Obliviscaris Cpl Cirillo!
I didnt know him, but im sure he was a great man! Lest we forget Nathan and Patrice.
I'd never heard or known of this song's existence before today. So sad, and so fitting. Rest well, WO Patrice Vincent and Cpl Nathan Cirillo. Your honourable service has ended, and we can ask no more of you than this.

One Minute Medical School

And don't forget about those that made it home and have to deal with it everywhere and everyday .Canada The Proud and The Free. Love my brother soldiers. PRO PRATRA
One Minute Medical School it’s a huge song in Nova Scotia and Ontario, Canada.
American Girl Dolls, Squishies And More! I seen the highway of heroes when I was in Ontario
Amazing part is no one called them to answer a call. They could see what needed to be done to protect what we love.
To all those who died or fought a war, to all those who serve and served, no matter what nation, religion or anything, honour follow them as they served their nation, and protected their people may they rest for ever in peace, lest we forget.
I lost my grandpa this morning, he served in the Korean war and this song instantly popped into my head.
I am so sorry for your lose.
Another band to be proud of from Canada, one of my favourite of all bands from Nova Scotia, love all their songs, real quality, lyrics, music, love the lead singer alot Terri Leckner, Montreal
My Great Great uncle Frank LaRonde passed away yesterday, June 22, 2014... He was on the beaches... R. I. P. to all the Brave men and women... Uncle Frank, THANK YOU! Love you!!! NEVER FORGOTTEN!
We thank him for his service to his country and to freedom peace and justice Lest We Forget
As a veteran who has deployed this song gives me goose bumps ❤
I am 22 years old and heard this song for the first time I’m elementary school. Now I am training in the Canadian armed forces.
Thank you for your service.
God bless it’s men like you why we have land food and safe place to raise children no one else
Thank you for your service
Thank you from Ottawa
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Ontario here!!! I cry my heart out every time.
Every year!!! This song is to beautiful for words!!!! Omg 😓
Yup its hard to hold a tear back to this! God bless our troop🇨🇦 may canada forever stand strong 🇨🇦
How in the world are there dislikes? This song is a perfect tribute to the soldiers that defend our country.
Yeah defend our country, some just murder peoples in Arabie being Manipulated/brainwashed by the United Statiens. I'm not saying i disliked this song because i respect it but in the same time i cant say that...
PainVsPerfect You must be the type of guy that wears tin-foil hats
PainVsPerfect Canadian Soldiers are there to restore the peace. They don't "murder people in Arabie being manipulated/brainwashed by the United States" as you like to put it. These people are risking their lives so that they can restore the peace of nations that have been destroyed.
there are dislikes simply because the soldiers this song represents fought for our freedoms and because this is a free land people are free to express themselves and their opinions right or wrong its there choice and if you dont agree with it thats your opinion i for one think this song is perfect and dont see how anyone would not like it but opinions differ "LESS WE FORGET"
Tin foil hats! Hahaha that made me laugh my ass off
RIP to the 2 soldiers killed this week thank you for everything you guys have done for this amazing country of ours !!!
this was playing today on the assembly ... i just about cried and you could hear some kids singing.... it was so beautiful...
-2017
Beautiful song. This is the first time I have heard it. Very appropriate for our two fallen soldiers.
RIP Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and CPL. Nathan Cirillo.

I don’t know if it was just my school that did this, but we listened to this every rememberence day.
just moved to Nova Scotia this past summer and had never heard this song before, not even on Rememberance Day.
it's now Rememberance Day 2019, this song is on the radio, and i'm in love with it
My class is singing this song in choir at my school and we are also very lucky to still be alive this day
Maddie Gordon same with me do you know mrs. Guild?
Today 92 years ago on the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month we declared peace and an end to the war to end all wars. And since that day we remember the brave Canadians who fought and still fight today for the freedom and protection of our beloved country.
I was in carders in in my time I met so many great Canadian solders and veterans and they always had the best stories and where always so kind and patient. Proud Canadian right here 🇨🇦
I don't have any close family members that were in the war, but my Great grandfather was in world war II, and had signed up because his friend talked him into it, only to find out after that his friend couldn't go to war because he had flat feet. Luckily, he lived and returned home safely, and lived a happy life, until he recently passed away 2 weeks ago.I'm very proud of him, and very proud of our country. Isn't a place on this universe I'd rather be than Canada
I'm very sorry for your loss. God bless him and his bravery for serving in the war, he truly does deserve to rest easy
I make it mission to listen to this song every year. Fantastic song
Gotta throw this one on at least once a year, get a little teary eyed, appreciate the friends who went and came back, appreciate their friends who didn't come back a whole lot more
Heartfelt thanks to the men and women of our Armed Forces, past, present and future. Your service to Canada is forever held dear in every Canadian's heart.
2020... We still remember, Are fallen heroes on this day. this might be a hurtfully year but Les we forget the heroes that save are planet from war. The heroes that served time for us to make peace to the world. Might I be Yong but to dislike this video you are monsters all 500 of you. Sad. We remember. When i a older i want to become a solder like these girls and guys that saved are world... We Remember, We care, We Wont Forget. 11/11/2020❤️
a good friend...... NO A BROTHER to the loss of war... I was away working in Alberta and didnt find out till a week after the fact.. devistation is an understatement. I'll always carry a huge empty hole in me..... I didn't get the chance to grieve with his family.... I was a zombie for weeks. to tell you the truth I still am.... The loss of him will always be a major holle in my life. I bawled when word finally reached me one day at work that he was gone and it was , very very real. I'll never get over his loss..... I can't imagine his family getting over it but the Godsmack of his loss while working in the middle of nowhere after his funeral hit me like a sledge hammer..... needless to say I'm done with that part of my work life. I shed a tear for every soldier lost..... I'm not military but since I've been known to stop my bike and salute fallen heroes and/or Military personnel.......
This is an example of the most Patriotic Canadian Song! Peace.
I know where u live.
