A lone figure stands in front of the large stone....

[Snoopy]

like some many before him, he takes in the surroundings...the grassy, parklike setting....the natural gas-fired flame....hears the wind, cool now so late in the season, rustling the remaining leaves still hanging on the trees. Senses, keener than the average humans, picks up the faint,whispering echos of conflicts that have gone on before. A newspaper page rolling by, blown by the wind, hints of present conflicts still ongoing, in faraway lands. Noticing the lettering on the stone, he reads the inscription: "Here lies the body of an unknown soldier, his identity known but to God". Solemely, he takes off his antiquated flying cap and goggles, stands at attention, and salutes *S*. "Thank you" he whispers. "Your sacrifice will NOT be forgotten."

[M1A2Tanker]

From the granite steps behind the lone figure, another stands quietly, giving a silent, somber, respectful moment of silence, bowing his head slightly under his brown robes.

A third figure is visible in the shadows not to far from where the others stand at attention.  His position given away only by holographic hawk squadron emblem on the sash worn over his brown robe of the jedi.  He snaps up a crisp salute and holds it......................*sending this thought to tank and the masked beagle through the force*  "I'm with you my brothers"

[Man53]

Always letting his presence be known when necissary, yet another dark (darker) figure stands clothed in black, with a large hooded robe, visible by a small blaze of flames in his eyes. Removing the hood from his head, the dark-sith raises his right hand, and salutes with great honor (*§*). Let it be known, that he who shall deface and defile the name of this great land, and shall stand against the forces of good, (yes I can be good), shall be punished to no end, by those who support, and love it, and those who make the ultimate sacrafice shall not be forgotten, but shall be remembered and honored.

I stand with you, brothers.

[Goku1]

* A fifth figure, with a slight light tinge to his outline, joins the others. As he takes his final step, his body locks into a position that had long been drilled into him. His right hand comes up in a diamond hard salute as he looks on and remmembers the ones who had come before. Quietly he speaks.*

They shall be honored above all, for thiers was a sacrifice of love for ones country and the ideals of it's people. The undying want of freedom and prosperity that drives those brave souls shall not ever be forgotten. Those who wish to stand against them and soil thier efforts will have to answer to the Almighty.
