If you see 68KO on, make sure you give Sue a nice <>!

I can think of no greater honor in this game.

Title: Memorial Flight
Post by: TalonX on July 15, 2007, 03:23:52 PM: I have no clue how you make such a film, but it was awesome. Well done, top to bottom...what a tribute! What a fantastic farewell. 68KO must have been quite a man. I wish I had known him better.

Makes me stop and think...... Do we take enough time in our lives, right now, today, to let the people around us know how much we care? That we love them? Stop what you are doing right now and go tell the one closest to you that you love them.

Find tolerance.....tell your friends you enjoy being with them...ignore the dweebs. This game is very symbolic of the new world... I have a squad of friends from around the US (and other countries in the past)....men and women I would never have known otherwise. I enjoy my time with them....

Post by: Makoyouidiot on July 16, 2007, 01:16:22 AM: 68KO taught me many moons ago how to make a good mission, and he helped me learn the Dpony. He was great, and I'm not ashamed to say that I cried during the memorial flight (I think you can see my goon wobbling as I wiped my eyes...)

<> KO, Mrs. KO

May his spirit continue to inspire.

R.I.P. KO!
Title: 68ko
Post by: WaRLoCkL on July 16, 2007, 07:02:24 AM: Im sure he was a great guy, i was a part of the 68th lancers when i first joined aces high, they were the first squad i belonged to and even accepted me when i had my 32459 name LOL, yes i to had a numbers name.

Im sure 68KO was a awsome man. I lost my CO from the mustang mafia and it was so hurtful the squad fell apart due to it. I am so glad to see that 68th is strong and well.

I to found out late what happend to him, but I have seen the vidio and its very moving. I am glad to see that he is still rememberd in this game. He will always be a part of what makes aces high great not because of the things he did in the game. It shows the type of charecter alot of the men we fly with have in this game. I can only say I wish there were more like him.

Once again ~~and continue to fly above us all.~~
