Veterans Tribute Opens

 

 

 The Veterans Tribute is now open in Second Life. This is the eighteenth year this annual event in honor of veterans has taken place, with memorials and music parties set up for a short time in November.

 

The 18th Annual SL Veteran's Tribute 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. Visit the wall and honor a loved one or leave a tribute for the ones there!

 

 

The main feature is the Memorial Wall. Each of the bricks represents a veteran alive or deceased who served, the names contributed by residents. The Newser has written about some in the past, such as Lothi Aeon/Army Specialist Jacob D. Borton and a group of ten soldiers whose story was told by one Marine. While the majority on the Wall are American, there are other veterans honored.

 

 There are other memorials at the Tribute, such as this one honoring the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. 

There's also music events every day. One can get announcements in the inworld group, or on Discord. 

The Tribute is located at Stillwater Cove (41/6/29).

SL18B Starts Today

  

After a few months of planning and preparation, the Second Life Eighteenth Birthday is finally ready to begin.  There will be 23 sims with much to see and much to do. There will be numerous music events, both DJs and live performers. There will be at least one "Meet the Lindens" event, on Monday June 21. In some separate sims there's the "Shop and Hop" event. It is believed there will be one reveal of new Linden Homes. And of course there's all those resident exhibits. 

Among the exhibits is that of the Second Life Newser. Build by Silvia Ametza (with help from Kimble (kimblecoles) ), the build reflects the theme "hidden worlds" with a look at the Earth's core (and a poke at the flat-Earthers). The build is in Pizzazz (187/171/23). 

The sims are scheduled to open at 9AM SL time. At 11 AM is the Opening Ceremony at the Main Stage.
