The most memorable Olympic event in my opinion was the Olympics that followed after 9-11. I watched more events that summer than I ever had before and I watched the Nations parade with their flags and athletes and it felt like everything was connected and the circle of peace could not be broken or beaten or scared off. I was nearly in tears during the grand finale celebration because as Christmas does, it yielded for me, some chance of a gentler world.
Merry S - I'm not planning on attending the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in 2010, I would never be able to decide which event I'd want to attend and I find I can see so much more from home and I'm not terribly fond of large crowds.
And yes, you can copy that banner if you want.
