The Trews - Highway of Heroes

"Highway of Heroes", was co-written and co-produced by The Trews and Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar) and was inspired by the 2006 death of Captain Nichola Goddard from The Trews' hometown of Antigonish, NS. Canada's Highway of Heroes, is the section of the MacDonald-Cartier freeway named to honour those who have sacrificed all in service of country.



The video was directed by Tim Martin.

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.

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 love this song they showed it at our school about 2 years ago and I still love it and sing it

[upthera]

as a Canadian vet who was I Afghanistan, this song makes me both happy, and sad. happy in the sense, that our great country will help the wounded and send off the dead honourably. but sad in the sense that it is also about death

I remember hearing this song around grade 3 and I loved it. I am relistening to it again. Beautiful

I was not Born in Canada but I am just as proud to be Canadian as anyone that was born In Canada, and it would be an Honor for me to be carried down the highway of heroes if it pays a fraction of the debt that I owe this Great Country that raised me and made me the man I am today, I am not worth a single Hair of any hero that served this country with their life

Thank you to all the soldiers who kept out flag moving and who risked their lives so we can have the freedom others don't have
