Shadows have fallen on the days of old, yet friendships ne'er be forgot, while we treasure them in our hearts.

Whoever may be reading this, whether one of those I fought side by side with in the Trenches of IMF are ye, or friend not yet discovered....

May God Bless you all!

This blog is a shrine to those ancient times long forgotten, where the tales of Empires and conquest kept us together.

Panzerlied!

English translation~Panzer Lied (Tank Song)~
If there's storm or it snows, Or the sun smiles on us, The day is burning hot, Or the night icy cold. Dusty are the faces, But joyful is our mind, Joyful our mind; Our tank roars ahead Within the storm wind.

Danford Military History...

2007-05-23T13:32:00.000-07:00

Well it all goes back to the Spanish american war. One of my ancestors on my fathers side, Nate Daniels, (before we got the name Danford), was stationed at a place we know as Goliad, in Texas. The garrison came under attack by the Mexican Army, after a few days of siege the Mexicans negotiated the surrender of the defenders. They promised them safe passage out of Texas and that they would be spared. But as my great great great grand Uncle found out, Mexicans lie. My great great grand Uncle, and the garrison were marched out to a prarrie and were gunned down. Nate Daniels tried to run but was shot, and bayoneted as he called out for help, and mercy. (This information was just recently found by my father in his mothers house in family records, the following was also found out in the records.)

This tragic event caused the rest of the Daniels to move to Luisiana, where they lived peacefully until the Civil War. Two of the younger Daniel's boys in thier teens, went to war, for the Confederates, where they both died at Gettysburg, one with General Hood at Devil's Den, and another in Picketts Charge.

Now on to more recent history, my great uncle (on my mother's side) also died in WWII covering the failed Operation Market Garden at Arnhiem.
Now that was Cheerful. =D

Well I am feeling better for those who care out there...anyways sorry for taking so long I have been confined to doing nothing while I have been sick, so that is why I havent been posting.
Thank you all for your comments. Anyway here is some stuff ubout the Xanatos...

"You destroyed me that day, Qui-Gon. Yet I was reborn. Stronger, wiser. I have surpassed you."
―Xanatos to Qui-Gon Jinn

Early life
Qui-Gon discovered Xanatos when the boy was three years old. Impressed by his Force-potential, Qui-Gon decided, after some brief hesitation, to bring Xanatos to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training. In doing so, Xanatos was taken away from the two things he loved most at an early age: Crion, his father, and Telos, his home planet.

Meeting Qui-Gon Jinn
After achieving Knighthood going on solo missions in a matter of five years, Qui-Gon Jinn took Xanatos to be his Padawan. Qui-Gon trained Xanatos for a number of years going on various missions, though Xanatos tended to be aggressive, which concerned the Jedi Council. As a final test for Xanatos, Yoda sent the two back to Telos, where the planet was in a brutal civil war started by Xanatos's corrupt father Crion — governor of the planet.

Fall to the dark side
After Qui-Gon was forced to kill Crion, Xanatos turned to the dark side, picked up his father's burnt ring and pressed it to his cheek. The half-circle scar later became his "trademark" and the symbol for the Offworld Corporation, a company he took control of through deceit and conspiracy. Qui-Gon told the Council that he had died in the fighting on Telos. Xanatos would present trouble for Qui-Gon Jinn and his new apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi in the decades preceding the Invasion of Naboo.

The final campaign
As the leader of Offworld Corporation, Xanatos claimed that he desired peace between Offworld and rival company, Arcona Mineral Harvest Corporation, but secretly planned to eliminate Arcona and take their ionite mines on Bandomeer for himself. With the help of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon thwarted his plans. Xanatos fled into hiding, returning to Telos, where he planned to stripmine the planet to obtain wealth. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan tracked him down and exposed his plans.
Xanatos had planned an attack on Yoda and caused multiple sabotages with the help of a Temple student, Bruck Chun, who he got to through his father. He used an equation he remembered from a previous mission when he was Qui-Gon's Padawan: Demoralization + Destruction = Devastation to carry out his plans. He managed to escape and was expecting the Temple to implode through the healing crystals of fire he hid in the fusion furnace but Qui-Gon figured it out what he had done and was able to save the Jedi Temple.
He committed suicide on Telos by jumping into a pool of acid, rather than be captured by his former master, saying as he did, "I am your biggest failure. Live with that. And live with this."
