The Carter Center will be the recipient, with the stated goals to "wage peace, fight disease, and build hope."</p> <p>It's easy to gloss over the harsh reality of conflict when playing a computer war game. Sillysoft feels a responsibility to give something back in honor of the men and women who have fought and died to bring us the liberties that we take for granted every day.</p> <p>If you've been thinking of buying AHL, then this week would be a good time. I've set up a <a href="http://sillysoft.net/ahl/memorial/">Memorial Fundraiser page</a> with the details, and where the final amount raised will be posted.</p> </blockquote> | Memorial Day charity fundraiser | default | |
