Once there, a monument of a Sri-Lankan, Indonesian, Sumatran, and Indian, holding hands along with a Buechorian Aid worker, with the words, "We stand together. Let us remember all the lives lost during the tsunami of December, 2004." enscribed at the bottom, was revealed to the crowds and recieved Much appalause and cheer.
The ceremony was ended by the entire Ehrenschutz firing their weapons ten time into the air. Priemierminister Eric Rechnitz was unable to make his speech as he had a bad case of the flu and had to remain in a local hospital. He plans to give the speech at a later time.
Buechoriahas already sent $100,000,000 worth of Becels, the Buechorian currency) to the countries hit and has sent hundreds upon thousands of aid workers to help reconstruct.
OOC: First of, my apologies to LAURIE KELLMAN who is an actual AP journalist. Second, I just wanted to remember those lost in that horrible tsunami. Feel free to leave any comments, complaints, etc. Now, I must go make... Sugar cookies.
