Veterans Day Ghallanda Event: This Thursday, Nov 11, 3 PM EST & 10PM EST

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

I hereby invite ALL MEMBERS of Sarlona to Ghallanda for our DDO Veterans Day Ceremony this Thursday!! (All you need to do is roll a fresh toon on Ghallanda, or use one you already have there... contact me for further instruction if necessary)

This is for our brave soldiers, I hope to see some of you there!! /Salute



The Veterans Day DDO Ceremony is held each year on November 11th on Ghallanda. The ceremony commences precisely at (THIS COMING THURSDAY!) 3 PM EST and again at 10:00 PM EST with a short poetry recital at the fountains in House J, and continues with a "Parade of Colors," then back to the fountains again for our unique version of the "21 Gun Salute", honoring veterans and veteran organizations, and those we've lost throughout the World.

Feel free to wear your most COLORFUL outfits!!! The ceremony is intended to honor and thank all who served in the United States Armed Forces, and from other peace-seeking nations throughout the World.

Our guild's last Memorial Day "21 Gun Salute" was made public, and we were humbled by the response. This year, we are making our Veteran's Day ceremony public, and seek the support of anyone who has a desire to show their support of the troops from all around Ghallanda.

Needless to say, all are welcome. This goes above & beyond all of our silly in-game class distinctions of "rich" to "poor", "gimp" to "elite", or level 1 guild to level 70 guild. However it seems to have EVERYTHING to do with DDO, considering so many of the fine folk who have served this great land are spread throughout the game, at every play level.

Finally: This year the video stream of our entire event will be sent to my long time buddy Jim Leary and his unit in Kabul, Afghanistan, who will in turn ensure it gets passed around to his many, many brothers and sisters serving in harms way.


Jim Leary






I have a need for several roles.

1. I need two volunteers with the ability to stream in high res besides myself.

2. I'm also going to need one individual from each server, besides Ghallanda to inform them of this effort. I was surprised last year of several disappointed responses we got from other servers, they would have rolled a toon on G-Land just to show support. We want to ensure that doesn't happen again.

3. Call to all Guild leaders to spread the word. I know just a small percentage of the DDO world actually uses the forums. If you know of anyone in your guild who might be interested in such an event, I'd be grateful if you somehow let them know.

4. I need 7 fine archers, preferably arcane archers, to participate in the 21 Gun Salute.

Thank you to all who lend a helping hand this year. Peace & goodwill.

PS: I will also be keeping a registry of all military personal past and present who attend (or who cant attend but would like to be included). Let me know by the event by posting here or privately at LWESTMTN@AOL.COM. This list will also be forwarded to Mr Leary.



Location: House J fountains
Time: 3 PM EST sharp and/or 10PM EST sharp
Anyone who would like pay their respects will be part of this event. We welcome all, and are hoping for a good turnout.

Calling all guild leaders of Sarlona:

We'd be honored to have your assistance, as guild leaders, if its possible to pass the word to any of your fellow guildies who may be interested in showing their support to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, on this coming Thursday.

This has nothing to do with being a Korthos noob, or beating Shroud in under 16 minutes. We need as many folks as possible to get our message out.

EVERYONE who stands for freedom is invited to show support. We have some beautiful material planned, we just need the most important component, the people. It will cost them appx 30 minutes of their time.

Glad to see some interest in this on Sarlona! Peace!

Big shout out to Tolero for mentioning our event in the DDO Chonicle.

... and to DDOCast's Sigfried and Anne Trent for discussing it on their first program post-Jerry's departure.

Good luck on your new en devour with the show, you both sounded awesome, the sound quality, game info, and fun factor of the show was real high.

One of the greatest missing man formations I've ever seen.

Gerald Ford Burial Site "Missing Man Formation"

These F-15Es are from Seymour Johnson AFB NC....Champions they are!
