Title: Call to battle -- the Philippines! Will you join us Saturday?
Post by: Brooke on August 20, 2010, 05:21:03 PM

In 1944-45, epic battles were fought in the Philippines.  Leyte Gulf, the Battle Off Samar, the Sulu Sea, Mindoro.

Keep the memory alive of those who fought there.  Come join us Saturday for the action.

If you show up in Special Events Arena II at or prior to 3 pm Eastern Time, you will get an airplane and your chance to strike at the heart of the enemy.

Some pics of action from last Saturday.

F4U attacks, but gunners blow off his wing.  His plane, out of control, narrowly misses.

A desperate run on the enemy fleet, doing the job, but paying the price.
