  2. Everybody should be familiar with this poem


    In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
    Between the crosses, row on row
    That mark their place; and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
    Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders Fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe
    To you, from failing hands we throw the torch
    May it be yours to hold it high
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep.
    Though poppies grow
    In Flanders Fields.

    (French)

    Au champ d'honneur Les coqulicots
    Entre les croix de lot en lot
    Qui marke lemur place; et dans le ciel
    Les alouettes chantent encore courageusement, Volant
    Leur rare chant meles sifflements des fusils.

    Nous sommes les morts
    Nous qui songions a la veile encore
    A nos parents, a nos Amis
    C'est Nous qui reposons ici
    Au champ d'honneur.

    A vous jeunes desabuses
    A vous de porter l'oriflamme
    Et de garder au fond de l'ame
    Le gout de vivre en liberte
    Accepted le defi; Sinon
    Les coqulicots se faneront
    Au Champ D'honneur

    I wrote these both here from memory, there may be mistakes in the poem ;)
    If there are mistakes, feel free to correct me.
  3. I can't put in to words how much respect I have for all those in the armed forces. They deserve this and much, much more. Thank you for this promo.

    God bless all those in our armed forces.
  4. Thanks for the promo, but specifically to all the veterans out there, past and present. If it weren't for them, maybe I wouldn't be here today, and maybe EMC (my life) wouldn't even exist. Thanks, really. I am afraid I can't attend the ceremony on smp6, considering I will be attending the real life ceremony at a cenotaph. I know that this is a moment to remember, and not to make money, although making money can be pretty fun, so I will not be selling this promo for a while now. I think that it's a keeper :D

    Thanks for the heads up on the ceremony!

  5. From myself coming from a family of many Marines, Navy, Air Force, Army, LAPD Officers, Detectives Veterans Day, is a big thing for us. I myself will most likely be going into the Marines as it's been something that I dreamed of, and loved to serve my county for freedom, and what is right. I have meet many Veterans of all types, and the many stories that I'm told by; every person I have meet is different sometimes they are good, and sometimes they are bad.

    The Military service is not something you want to jump right into; It's a passion, it's a desire, it's a want, it's a dream. Myself, and my family gives the biggest gratitude, and thank you to all who have served. Veterans Day is a big deal for our family celebrating it bigger then christmas, and New Year's Day.

    There is a saying that hits deep, and hits home.

    " All gave some - Some gave all "

  6. Thanks for remembering the veterans. I hope to attend the ceremony.

  8. As a member of the Armed Forces, I appreciate the thought behind this. I wish I could be there myself, but due to some seriously annoying computer issues I am not able to log into the servers. Thankfully I can still get onto the website. Thanks a ton for this Krysyyjane9191, it means alot. :)
  9. God bless those we Loved and god bless those we sadly lost, lets keep them in our thoughts. You served our country well, so thank you to all.

  12. Thank you for the promo. :) This is a beautiful thing, and I think that all of the veterans out there are well-deserving of such an item in their honor.

  13. OMG, that is epic. i'm gonna save that one! :D

    And thanks for the promo. I like getting promo's that don't necessarily have some super power attached. :)

    Thank you to those who serve. Never forget, so we never repeat.
  14. Hit the flower, not the pot if you choose to place the item. Same thing with if you place it on the ground. Break the flower, not the ground. If it pops off of a surface, the game reads its item ID instead and replaces it with a normal poppy. Message me if this happens and after investigation, I can replace the poppy.

  17. I will drop kick anyone who treats these things like garbage.

    Happy Veteran's day to those who served or who are serving!
  18. This is a very thoughtful promo. I'll try to come over to the remembrance ceremony later too.

    Probably a fitting time for one of my favourite quotes, "Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his fellow man."

  20. Its five real pages, so its a bit long, but it has a lot of talkkng between characters which is probably most of the reason why its so long
