“Highway of Heroes” at the 80th anniversary of D Day ceremony

[@janetbressette631]

This song touches me every time I hear it! As I drive the 401 from Trenton I will always play this song! I’m always impressed by the level of respect Colin, John Angus, and Jack have! The Trews will always have my heart!

[@ronee1959]

I hated hearing this song. The radio station would play each time a soldier was killed Afghanistan. My heart would always sink. Then to watch them come home down the 401. Their families. The heart break. Lest We Forget.

[@rc2869]

From the UK, wonderful song in the context of the day. Huge respect to the great Canadians . I foresee a day is beckoning when similar sacrifices will be required.

[@jackstarret7028]

Unexpected? Completely. Incredible? Absolutely.

[@rquarantillo]

Most underrated band of all time. Happy for these fellas to be able to have this platform.

[@Ruth-n3n]

Well done indeed...Thank you fellas Respect from Hamilton Ontario Canada.

[@wenyddarling9548]

Straight to the heart. Eternally resonating. Inspiring. "We will remember them."

[@DANOVERBOARDvlogs]

The hardest working band in the nation.

[@Chris_Blackstock_Music]

I performed this song with other veterans at my church for Remembrance Day, makes me cry every time.

[@gerardmacdonald4620]

My dad PD and Uncle DV who served in WWII would be enormously proud .Big lump in throat watching the lads nail it

[@darthrevan-]

[@kirstenannemacdonald2143]

This song has hit home to my family with members who have served in every conflict and war that has happened in which they were called upon to serve. Respect from Nova Scotia

[@heatheryoung36]

Thank you from all Canadians! It is such a heartfelt song and my very favourite. My family, too, lost family in WW1 and WW2. I cry every time I hear it, remembering all the soldiers that fought for good over evil in this world. Bless you for the remembrance of all the heroes.

[@williamworks7280]

Best song to honour Canadian fallen troops! Love to all from Saskatchewan guy.❤️🙏

[@formereverything4268]

My grandfather was a WWI aviator at a really young age; at 102 years old, he (for the first time) talked about the war as a trench soldier, getting shot by the soldiers behind him, leading a charge, and getting shot again. While in hospital, they learned he'd excelled and math and science in school, so they put him into a pilot program and he flew until the end of that war. He just said "I was good at - I wished I died saving my friends". Imagine what absolute steel ran through his veins at 18-22 years old.

[@xmen71771]

Thanks for repping Canada lads and for always repping Antigonish. Love this band.

[@bettynewhouse5150]

we saw the Trews in North Bay last summer. Just incredible . Every Canadian needs to go to Juno Beach once in their life.

[@ronee1959]

And Vimy. Flanders Field

[@sueebner2155]

Can’t imagine listening to this while sitting at Juno Beach, absolutely beautiful

[@sandmanmac]

So true. It brought tears to my eyes sitting in my living room in Toronto

[@rgoddes]

[@tinajbrown1867]

My father survived the beach and every other battle that followed. He sure would have loved this. He passed a little over a year ago at 97. They really were the greatest generation.

[@smokesletsgo2374]

May your father rest in eternal peace

[@rc2869]

Massive respect to your Dad.

[@tstorm3706]

About as fine an example of Canadiana as you can get, any way you look at this. Well done guys, and congratulations on the honour. I hope to see you in Bala or Ottawa, or both.

[@BrangwynJones]

So amazing. I still remember the time I had the privilege of joining you on stage for the singing of this at the Calgary Stampede.

[@mimiagain]

I’ve watched as many soldiers are repatriated to/from Trenton, down the Highway of Heroes. I cry for the families, but especially for the parents who have to bury their children. I can imagine no greater pain. My great grandfather was 27 when he died in 1917, in France. My great grandmother had 2 boys under 5 to raise on her own. He didn’t have to go. He could have stayed in Toronto and worked. But he did go, and it cost not only him, but his family. Every soldier has a family. War needs to end. Thank you for this song. You have shone a bright light onto our fierce pride in those who sacrifice.

[@girlwholovesdogsandmusic]

What an honour! Pretty proud Trews fan here ❤

[@kevinhunter6947]

this band is from my home town, Hamilton ON. H ome of the R.H.L.I this batallion lost 100s of troops on Juno. Highway of heroes is the 401, from Trenton to Toronto. Awsome site to see hundreds of people on overpasses, as procesion drove by

[@kristaford2007]

The Trews are from Antigonish NS and we also have a highway of heroes, highway 111

Thank you, shared.

[@kalemacpherson1542]

Proud to be from the same hometown of most of the band members. If I'm not mistaken the inspiration for this song was when Capt. Nicola Goddard passed away serving a tour in Afghanistan, our first female casualty of that conflict

[@redspice55]

❤ Wonderful song.

This is really cool. Near the end of the video it looks as though Justin Trudeau is explaining what the Highway of Heroes is to Prince William... so that's cool too.
