Those on 7 Sqn that wish to attend will do so. No one will make them go or will stop them from going.
Whilst this was a tragic event, not too many of the current 7 Sqn crowd knew the guys that died almost 10 years ago. I wonder if anybody here can name all of those that have served and died whilst serving on 7 Sqn between 1914 and 2004 - Will anybody be visiting their graves on the anniversary of their deaths?
Failure to attend a memorial service should not be read into as an indication of a lack of respect. We all grieve in different ways!
