Memorial Day Honor; The 1% of the 1% of the 1%

-
A hundred years ago, when I was incarcerated in the Benning Penitentiary for Recidivists, a fellow Recidivist stated that "in every attack someone is making a frontal attack."

I would love to believe that this wisdom came from the be-spotted lips of James "Shitmouth" Murphy...but honestly, that may be wishful thinking. At this stage, I can't really be sure.

As is, instead of the expansive, "love everyone" bullshit of the day; I would like to honor the 1% of soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines of the 1% that have actually served of the US population, that have had to be that someone making a frontal attack.

God bless you.

Your country hasn't a clue what you have done for them.

After work and class the next day, the whole party met up at the Proffessor's townhome. They charried the train out into the courtyard that evening to give it a try.

Nothing seemed to be happening, yet the party presisted even while discussing that perhaps this was a dead-end. With the 26th circuit  of the train however, everything chnged. ...

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work. Littlus replaces his pipe-like robotic leg (courtesy the Dei-Phage) with the “Major Award” leg from Christmas Story…fish...

They needed a break (from the guilt) of releasing a random zombie apocolypse on Punjar every couple of weeks. Anyway, as they got close to the new shopping area, they heard cries of pain and spotted a bearded man in black (Emerikol the Chaotic it turns out) riding down the street on a demon horse randomly killing passers by.  And calling on his winged gorhellas to kill witnesses. The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
