HIGHWAY OF HEROES
On behalf of all of us at 107.9 THE BREEZE we would like to thank everyone who has come out to show their support for the Highway of Heroes.
What started as a few people paying tribute to our fallen Canadian Soldiers, has turned into thousands of Canadians lining the overpasses along the 401 from Trenton to Toronto in an emotional outpouring of support for families of our fallen soldiers.
For the families who must travel the Highway of Heroes their journey is made a little easier when they see the incredible support.

Thank you.

It's written from the perspective of one of the fallen soldiers' spirit looking up to see the thousands of Canadians on bridges from Trenton to Toronto. Mr. Durrant served in the British Army in 1956.
