  Augusta, you can bet you won't have to take your own flag along to that event.

  Watty was on Meridian news a few minutes ago describing his memories of the atrocity that day all those years ago, very moving indeed.
  
  The Beat the retreat is now scheduled for 8. 10 PM.

  I will never forget seeing so many ambulances, one after another, going to Buckland Hospital.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
