Every time I attempt to take a picture of the people who wait patiently on the Highway 401(Highway of Hero) city overpass I cannot find a parking spot. I always want to turn around and park on the other side of the overpass, but traffic is always hectic for me to reconsider. Finally I have found this photograph from the Toronto Star recently. This was probably taken from a helicopter, and you can see a few fire department trucks and van were parking on the side of the road with 5 current soldiers standing on the roof of the fire engine. They were all looking East above the 6 lanes of West bound traffic. I am always in awe when I see these average citizens waving Canadian flags waiting patiently for the deceased soldiers' hearse to pass. The thing that baffles me most is that these people could be waiting for hours just to take a glimpse of the hearse passing through at speed around 100KM per hour, which does not last long at all. Can some body explain to me why they are so dedicated??? They never fail to pack the highway overpass on each local streets whenever a fallen Canadian soldier returns to the nation getting transported to the Toronto Pearson International Airport for delivering back to their hometowns. Seriously, when the Canadian national hockey won at the Olympics and at the World Championship they did not get this kind of welcome home ordeal. Bravo, Canada! May God continue to keep our Land!
