There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

On Loyalty Day, we reaffirm our allegiance to our country and resolve to uphold the vision of our Forefathers. We should also take a moment to appreciate the members of our armed forces who are displaying the ultimate in loyalty and service to protect our freedoms, and liberty, and our way of life.

Thanks for posting about this important day. These special days get lost in the shuffle and that is sad indeed.

Interesting. I'm retired Navy and retired DoD and had never heard of it until just now.
Be that as it may, AFAIC, every day is Loyalty Day to me.

I am sorry I was not aware of that day. I recently became a US citizen after first following the correct steps for imigration and naturalization. I am Canadian by birth and came to the US to marry my american wife. Canada too is a great country with much of the same values of the US however I felt it necessary to full assimulate out of repect for my new home.
I am so proud to say I am american and remind myself every day of that fact. There are so many people involved that keep the american dream alive from the police, coast gaurd, military and so many more. They put thier lives in harms way and keep the evil in this world at arms length.
After recent events I have seen these brave men an women put in horrific situations with no support from above. I am sure there a a few bag apples but frankley I am fed up with this treatment. The pendulum has swung far too left and it is time, we the people, let it be known.
For you serving and for the veterians of this county I support you and I salute you for your service. I also appologies on behave of those that have failed you, keep strong and with luck, we, the people will make the pendulum swing back to rest as it was envisioned by the founding fathers of this great nation.

Everyday is loyalty day in my family. We are all Vets or active duty including my wife, two sons and our daughter-in-law.
By the way I wouldn't want a White House that acknowledged a single day as national loyalty day. EVERY day all the way!
The flag posted above is my new desktop wall paper! Thanks for sharing!

May 1 is May Day. The traditional communist labor day. Still celebrated in many european countries and a day for rallies and protests around labor movements world wide including the US.
This loyalty day thing is a recent 'politically correct' rewrite of the tradition.....
The 4th of July is the day we celebrate the USA and the freedoms it represents. Its also an officially recognized holiday.

Please keep your nasty politics off of here. That kind of thing has no place on a Spyder forum.
By the way..... YES... The White House most certainly DID recognize this day!

This day has been acknowledged by every White House for decades....
The holiday was first observed in 1921, during the First Red Scare.[SUP][2][/SUP] It was originally called "Americanization Day,"[SUP][3][/SUP] and it was intended to replace the May 1 ("May Day") celebration of the International Workers' Day,[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] which commemorates the 1886 Haymarket Massacre in Chicago.[SUP][4][/SUP]
During the Second Red Scare, it was recognized by the U.S. Congress on April 27, 1955,[SUP][5][/SUP] and made an official reoccurring holiday on July 18, 1958 (Public Law 85-529).[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed May 1, 1955, the first observance of Loyalty Day.[SUP][7][/SUP] In 1958 Eisenhower urged Congress to move Child Health Day to the First Monday in October, to avoid conflicting with Loyalty Day[SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP] Loyalty Day has been recognized with an official proclamation every year by every president since its inception as a legal holiday in 1958.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP]

Appreciate your patriotism towards the United States... but with all due respect, this is a Spyder Forum.. not a political soapbox. Your opinions on 'no support from above', 'pendulum swinging too far left' and what our 'Founding Fathers envisioned' frankly have no place out here.
This board should be a politics-free zone.:thumbup:
