Veterans Tribute And Sci-Fi Expo Return

With Halloween over, attention turns to upcoming holidays. Among these is Veterans Day. And so the annual Second Life Veterans Tribute, the thirteenth one, has returned.

The Tribute itself is non-political and serves one purpose and one purpose only and that is to honor all the men and women that have given willing of their time to protect the lives we enjoy today. 

This wall consists of names submitted by those in Second Life to honor their loved ones from any branch of military service, in any country. Honoring those currently servinc, those who have served, and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their country.

There will be at least one event at the Tribute, the SL Marine Corps Ball, on November 9, the day before the anniversary of the official founding of the Marine Corps.

Also taking place is the Sci-Fi Expo. This sister event to the annual Sci-Fi Convention takes place every fall while the Con takes place in Spring or Summer. Taking place on the Solaris Station sim, the event raises funds for the Relay for Life, which does so in behalf of the American Cancer Society.

The kickoff for the Expo was on Saturday Nov 2. Further information can be found on the Sci-Fi Con website at https://scificonventionsl.wordpress.com/ .
