Remember Our Veterans This Memorial Day!

Memorial day in the United States is coming up soon, on the last Monday in May on the 29th. Our national holiday honors those who fought and died to defend our country. Traditionally, we fly the American flag that day.

Here is a simple way to express your appreciation for our veterans ultimate sacrifice via Second Life, by adding a waving, animated American flag to your parcel:

You can add your own state's flag to the display, too, provided that it is underneath the American flag, or on a separate flagpole lower than the American flag, as required by flag etiquette. You should also fly the flag of the United States at half-staff from dawn until noon local time on Memorial Day.

I'd also like to mention something about one person who gave his life for our country. A dear friend of mine, Wavinggirlsav Voom, told Charlie vanAlten and me in Second Life that her mother had been looking for her brother, her Uncle Johnny, for nearly 60 years. All she knew was her mom's brother had died somewhere in Europe in WW-II as he got out of a tank.

All our searches reached a dead end. But then something happened in Second Life.

Read about John Dikun in WW-II and please, make a flag and fly it this Memorial Day.
