Today (January 25th) is the anniversary of the end of the Battle of the Bulge.

Please join us for a Battle of the Bulge today to commemorate the battle.

All are welcome.  Just show up, read the arena message, and sally forth! :)

We will run it twice:
-- Once at 3 pm Eastern (8 pm UK time).
-- and once at 11:30 pm Eastern (so that we don't conflict with air racing event).

The diet and excersise program you go on after too much holiday feasting
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

My Dad turns 85 this year, I am his legacy. I take his CIB with me when I deploy.
