On Memorial Day two things are traditional: a Bar-b-que, and a remembrance of the valiant men & women who have given their lives to ensure peace, freedom, and the American way of life.

Both of my grandfathers were veterans of World War II. Some of my closest friends, and members of my wife's family have consecrated their time to serve the will of the Commander in Chief.

It just so happened I attended a confluence of gaming and grilling in the form of a Halo party. Like charcoal sales tactics, we piled the ammo high and watched it fly! We had some truly noble matches, with my team prevailing often. By no means has anyone in the afore-mentioned match-ups been nationally ranked, but we had a great range of players.

I just wish I had gotten some points for the matches.
