So, today being the 11th of November, it is a special day. Around the world Armistice Day is celebrated, marking the end of the first world war. The hostilities were ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Being that it ended one the bloodiest conflicts in human history, it is a very important to remember. However, in 1954 in America, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day to honor all those who served in the United States Armed Forces.
To any veteran who should read this post, God bless you and thank you. You were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice so that people like me can live our lives under the flag of this great nation, that which you swore to protect. It is on days like this that veterans and active serving members of the armed forces are thanked for their service extensively, but to me, because they are constantly protecting our country, or had for the duration of their service, every day should be Veterans Day. Again, thank you so much for your service.

People of the Internet, I have returned! (As if a little over a week was a hiatus)
That's perhaps what MacArthur would've said, had he been born about 90 years later, and was a cyber warrior. Yeah, a bad joke. Get used to them. That's usually my shtick. But, enough about that, what happened to all the posts? We were getting like two a day man, what the hell? Well, the answer is simple. School. I could list all my little problems that are associated that, but, that's beside the point. The point is that the wheels are turning again, so, the content stream will be coming back. The next thing to cover will The Sacks of Rome by me, and equipment and weapons by Lopes. Oh, also, the poll that was up has now closed, so, pending further changes to what we want to, we're hitting the seas for our next big content package. Hope to see you not only there, but as we travel back to Rome in the 400's and 500's AD!
