Today is Memorial Day, and we at Portalarium take this day to pause from our normal work routines, to remember all the men and women, here and abroad, that have sacrificed their lives in military service protecting the lives, and the futures, of all our loved ones.
We are leaving Release 6 open the rest of today. And as Starr Long said in his forum post last night: “Enjoy yourselves but also please take a moment to honor those who have fallen.”

One Proud salute to All those whom are defending and protecting our Freedoms as well those who have fallen.
From someone who doesn’t believe in an afterlife, it’s a damn shame so many have had to sacrifice their lives to defend those of others. Here’s to a day when that degree of selflessness is no longer needed. Until then, thanks to everyone who’s stepped up to the plate to maintain the bonds of civilization.
