Memorial Day Again

Memorial Day is a United States Federal Holiday.
Originally called Decoration Day is a day of rememberence of our fallen soldiers in war.
Not a holliday but a day of remembrence.
For familys, loved ones, and soldiers its a day of questioning. WHY a mother - WHY did not my child return home safe and sound? a soldier - WHY did I return and my friend and comrad did not? a father - WHY did my child have to go? a soldier - WHY did we have to go? a wife - WHY did I not have time to say goodbye? a soldier - WHY did I not have time to say goodbye to my brother in arms?
War will always bring unanswered questions to us all.
So for all the the fallen soldiers across the world - I REMEMBER and I SALUTE YOU

I went to a local event with my 'newish' husband, a Vietnam vet. I was so impressed with the sense of community and patriotism I found there. One area in which you beat us Brits hands down.
Good to see the pride in your country. I'm happy to be here.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
