The scale of this is pretty incredible. I was in Warsaw the night before a couple of years ago on a business trip and had no idea of what would happen the next day. That was the year Tommy was there with Rebel. Unfortunately I was booked to leave before the march, in retrospect I wish I'd stayed.
I also wish more people would see Israeli national pride on our Independence Day. I don't begrudge any nation their national pride as long as they avoid branching out into invasion and conquest of the world!
