Fun and Freedom

Tomorrow evening is LAN Party. Many local gamers and some from afar will join together in person to celebrate our Veterans who have fallen for God and country. It's also a time to remember those who have returned and those who presently serve to bless us with freedom. The amount of Veterans that returned from Vietnam is now under a 30% survival rate and quickly dropping. WWII Veterans and those who have returned from the Korean conflict are hard to find nowadays. Our Kuwait, Iraq and Pakistan Veterans and those still serving on active duty should not be forgotten. This is Memorial Day weekend. Yes it's a time to celebrate...it's a time to remember those that let the bells of freedom ring. So we will. We shall play our game and glow in the light of freedom. To those who have served, those who have fallen and those serving today, I salute you! God Bless America.
