Memorial Day


Recommended Posts

As we commence our Memorial Day weekend here in the good ole'USA and get ready to cook out, drink a few beers, relax, and listen to the 500 lets all take just a moment to remember the purpose of the holiday.

We are all looking foward to in a couple of weeks raining untold death and destruction upon countless little computer beings. Let us not forget the true death and destruction that WWII, and all wars have caused.

Sorry, but to continue.

I think that most of us who like to immerse ourselves in these games probably appreciate the sacrifices and the suffering more than most. Forgive me on my quotes if I don't have them completly right but "those that ignore history are bound to repeat it" Didn't MacArthur say it was the soldier most of all that hated war because he was the one that had to pay the ultimate price. Let us all remember those that "gave the last full measure of devotion."

Amen brother.

"Lest we forget!"

"If ye break faith with us who die..."

In the USA it has been proposed at 3PM there will be a moment of silence in every town. Please try to follow that.
