Leopard 2 A4M CAN
A Leopard 2A4M CAN from 12e Régiment blindé du Canada (12eRBC) conducts a road move on Route HYENA (Panjwa’i Road) in the Horn of Panjwa’i.

This road will help residents access economic centres for selling their produce, have better access to government services such as education and health care, and bring issues to the District Governor in a timely and efficient manner.
Task Force Kandahar will continue robust security operations in conjunction with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Afghan National Security Forces, and its coalition and civilian partners in order to eliminate insurgent violence and set the conditions for successful and sustainable governance, development and peace in Southern Afghanistan.

Supporters pay tribute as the body of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo is transported in a hearse from Ottawa to Hamilton, along the Highway of Heroes in Port Hope, Ont., on Friday, Oct. 24, 2014.
The road is designated the Highway of Heroes because it is often traveled by funeral convoys for fallen Canadian Forces personnel from a major military base in Trenton to the coroner's office in Toronto.
The 25-year-old reservist was gunned down as he stood ceremonial guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Wednesday. After killing Cirillo the gunman stormed the main parliament building, terrorizing the public and politicians, before being shot dead. Cirillo, who was part of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Regiment, was remembered by relatives as a "wonderful young man."
The gunman, who was also later shot dead, was identified as Michael Joseph Hall, 32, an Islam convert who used the name Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.

John Gallagher was a a former Canadian Forces member, who joined the fight in Syria, fighting and giving aid to those he truly believed to need the assistance. Gallagher was killed in an attack by ISIS involving a bomb at the side of the road.
A warm welcome by the community in which he grew up, Chatham-Kent,received Gallagher's body in the most Canadian tradition of lining the streets, highways and bridges along highway 401.
This has been the Canadian way of saying thank you to those who have sacrificed everything for the country since the war in Afghanistan.
