Today, roughly around 1300 hours we had a memorial service honoring those where killed, it was very moving and heart wrenching 2 hours. At this time I would like to thank all who have sent emails and PMs and other inquires into my well being and offerings of pray and support for the families. This tragic event has not polarized the US Military, instead it as brought us together and brought the communites that support us even closer. We had over 300,000 people attend the Memorial Service, the vast majority were soldiers, yet there were almost an equal number of civilians there as well and many more who were offering support in other ways in providing water and other things to us for the -- Karagin 11/10/09 09:25 PM http://www.sarna.net/forums/showflat.php?Number=156679 http://www.sarna.net/forums/showflat.php?Number=156677 What gives?

It was not armed or armored but they said that they could put weapons and armor on it if they wished to, it is only a test bed to work out the technical problems for the next generation that would most likely be armored but still not armed. It was so good, the guy that was wearing it balanced on his toes of one foot. They showed a lot of things that it could do but I was impressed by him balancing on his toes by far more than anything else they did. -- His_Most_Royal_Highass_Donkey 04/01/09 03:51 PM http://www.sarna.net/forums/showflat.php?Number=154236 http://www.sarna.net/forums/showflat.php?Number=153924 Hello, Just to tell you about this free new game,it is a free MMORTS that is already in the top5 game of the year!
