Repatriated Canadians return home


The cold was bitter on the bridges. For some it was a two-hour wait. But wait they did and the crowds grew in anticipation of the sombre parade down the Highway of Heroes.

Five hearses led the stream of black vehicles one after another and another and another...

And then they were gone. Five Canadians who gave their lives in a far away conflict protecting civil rights in the hope that one day the Afghanis will live without threat to personal freedom.
