Timely, the protests of current veterans to fight for fair treatment. We honour the dead, but we must treat the living and wounded in body, mind or soul.
Angry veterans rally on Parliament Hill, demand royal commission
Disabled soldiers are demanding the federal government establish a royal commission to investigate
For a full list: the 152 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan
Four Canadian civilians have also been killed, including one diplomat, one journalist and two aid workers.
"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.
You can purchase "Highway of Heroes" world-wide exclusively via iTunes.
Net proceeds from sales will benefit the Canadian Hero Fund, an organization that assists the families of Canadian military personnel through academic scholarships.
