Hi Guys,
If anyone is going to be there AND DOESN'T want to go to this ceremony - but would like to get together for a chat and quiet drink somewhere... My friends and I (who are returning to pay homage to our friends who didn't return last year and continue our yearly tradition) are going to be having our own quiet memorial.
I like the way Howard handled the situation last year - and respect his visit - but in all honesty , his visit (not necessarily that he is going, but the stigma surrounding it) really detracts from what this event is about...
Too much of a political stunt!
