~Gulp~ 7 year Air Force Veteran, (1989-1996) just saw this pic (still at work) and a huge fat tear just rolled down my eye... (okay 3 or 4 did). You have no idea how much this is appreciated, by me and my family which has had a member in the service for 4 generations. I will try like heck to be on at 8pm EST Thelanis to salute my brothers past, present and future.
Dang, still teary eyed...
Will it still be at the Temple of SH? I've never joined a guildchat so not sure how.. but any that want to add "Heidiann" and tell me where to go, I'd be honored beyond words to show my reverence.
*edit* just a warning if y'all do that salute thing.. I'm logging off of Voice Chat, cuz no one wants to hear a 39 year old man blubber...

Here are a Few More Photos from
The Veterans day Ceremony
Thank you All Who attended.
I am currently trying to figure out how to link them
to Bekki's My DDO Page.
Hope you enjoy them.
Here are Images from the 8 PM service.

Marking Veterans Day online within DDO is a very good idea.
At first seemed strange, but not really when you think about it. If we observe a two minute silence at our places of work or while shopping on the day, why not during our Gaming time as well.
Each November 11th here in the UK we stop to respect those who fought and died for us, here it is called Remembrance Day and at 11am GMT my place of work will stop for 2 minutes silence.
So I would like to offer my support for this, but unfortunately due to the time difference will not be able to attend the event, still been at work at 11am EST. Hopefully you will get a good turn out and glad to see you got a good turn out last year.
The temple of the Sovereign Host is also a very good choice of location for this, as House D chat is normally quiet so less likely to be interupted, just think how hard it would be to attempt this in the Harbour.

Thank you KrissonofPark.
It's just my little way to say Thank you.
My work actually happens to observe Veterans Day
on the Thursday prior to veterans day.
(We are given the day off.)
And It was something I thought would be a cool thing to do.
Something for those who maybe couldn't make it to a live event.
I admit I have caught some heat for it in the past but
mostly it has been well received.
So for my fellow Vets... I shall "keep charging!"

Very kind. It seems like we are getting the organizational support we need, and I'm sure more support will come.
Now we need to just keep spreading the word and they will come....

I don't care if you don't support current conflicts/administrations or not, if you live in either America or most countries in Europe you owe the freedom and prosperity you enjoy today to the fact that men and women in your country, both past and present, have been willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Sweet!
Okay, I have updated my start time, to
10:30 Am EST so that I may allow for any stargglers.
I have also submitted a request to Tolero and Tarrant
for all three events to maybe if the Devs agree to get a
"World Broadcast" notifying all the events.
Hopefully the powers that be will allow them to do so.
Wish us luck
And thank you to all for all the great support!Official Muskateers Bartender
