One thing that awes me about MURC is the fact there is so many people from all countries and walks of life who visit and contribute here, where as so many other hardware websites are almost exclusively american.
Many of you probably know that in America, today is Memorial Day. It was originally a day for us to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their country during our Civil War - a war where soldiers fought brothers and fellow countrymen to defend their country.
In the years since, it has been expanded to remember those who died in all of our wars - from the American Revolution to World Wars I and II on through the Korean and Vietnam Wars to our current battles in the mideast today. In these wars people from all walks of life and from all corners of the globe have died fighting for freedom - if not their own then for the freedom of others.
American is not the only country that has fought wars and had people who sacrified their lives for those of others. In the spirit of this day, I ask you - the people of MURC - to observe a moment of silence for those who have died fighting for freedom for your own country, from your own cultures.
Thank you.
