For whatever reason the Falklands Conflict still mean an awful lot to me.

I didn't know E-J, our paths didn't cross. I knew of his death and was saddened. It was amazing (in hindsight) how the loss was felt amongst the guy's going 'into harm's way'.

What stunned me was OKOC's post, he included an Internet link for a Memorial Site.

I didn't know of the existence of this Memorial Garden, but when opening the link, I was stunned to discover that would be visitors have to give ONE MONTH'S notice of their intention to visit it.

I fully appreciate security et al. But ONE MONTH. To honour our losses????
