*SALUTE
Well honestly...I have nothing to say for a report this week, so I'll make it about our recent events. I think I can speak for everyone in saying that this week has been a living nightmare. The terrorism that has been brought to the United States has consumed me and I'm sure it has for all of you also.
We have had an entire week almost to let the situation sink into our minds. And I now realize that it’s more personal to me, as well as to the VE. America's Pride has been strengthened dramatically, as well as the rest of the worlds. Americans now days haven't been this patriotic state of mind since WWII, and for most of us, because of our age…we haven’t seen it at all. As I drove to school this last week, I noticed that there isn't a neighborhood in my town or in the entire country that doesn't have several U.S. Flags blowing in the wind. And honestly, It brings a tear to my eye, to think that an entire country can come together and come out on top of bad situations. I am so VERY proud to be an American, and VERY proud to be in the Vast Empire...
I know most all of you have a great hate for terrorism, as you should. As I said earlier that it is now personal to the VE, and that it is. If you bring your mind back to the VE for a minute and realize what is happening within our storyline, we ourselves have had a great terrorist attack and an attack on our pride. I have great confidence that the VE’s patriotism will react just the people of the United States has.
One of our great commanders was killed by a terrorist bomb. As of yet, we haven't been given our story, and I'll do whatever I can possibly do to get that going very soon.
But here is my advise to you…show your patriotism for the VE, as you have so far for the United States. If you put your emotion into this part of our timeline, as you have for events that have happened this week, we’ll all pull out on top.
The Vast Empire's pride is greater then any other, and if this pride for the Vast Empire is continued, it shall conquer all. God Bless the Vast Empire...God Bless America...
*SALUTES the two flags of the VE and the US...both at half-mast.

/me salutes the VE flag. Sorry, but I have never felt much patriotism for the US of A, but I will salute it if it's in with the flags of all nations who lost people in the blast. /me adds the flags of Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, Austria, the EU, and every other country who lost people in the attacks. /me then salutes them all.

PS - Sorry about this, but I had to mention the fact that this tragedy is worldwide, not just US. |

At school on Friday, we were told only to have a 1 minute silence, because they didn't want us to stop work for too long.
Because we were all so outraged about this, we stayed quiet for 15 minutes out of respect for the dead.
I think the United Nations flag is a good one to salute, as every person in the world is suddenly united against evil, no matter where it is and where it comes from. |

Bear makes an excellent point there...Everyone, in the entire world is involved with this. Every nation in the world has pride toward its country and toward the us. I take the honor in putting putting this flag up with our own...
/me puts the UN Flag (or at least I think its the flag...close enough) up with the U.S. and V.E. flags, and salutes them all. -----------------------
