The only reason I think that Kerry would still show up for this is to take a departure from his current stance of attacking other Vets, and acknowledging that his anti-war actions did hurt, seriously hurt, Veterans. I would expect some sort of 'nuanced' apology.
I would expect a cool response from the Vets, at best.
If that is not the case, he is hopelessly lost in his Sgt. Rock fantasies and his 'magic hat'.
