Happy Bastille Day!
We celebrate along with our French players and wish them a very happy Bastille Day, a national holiday in France, considered also as the French Independence Day!
Prisoners of the Bastille, an ancient fortress prison, were set free by freedom fighters in 1789. Thus the French Revolution began, proclaiming the people of France free from monarchy and tyranny.

Btw. you forgot Happy Battle of the Britain day. But no worries, the anniversary is still ongoing, so still not late ;-).
BoB day is the 15th September, we are currently celebrating the end of the war in Europe though.
Vive la Frence!
Oh man. Seems like you haven't updated your historiography since the fall of the USSR. There were 7 (SEVEN) prisonners in the Bastille, none of whom were of any interest to the revolutionaries. One was even immediately imprisonned back the next day. They were after the armories. They massacred the whole garrison, which was initially ordered to not shoot and was primarily composed of convalescent wounded veterans. Throw off your red-tinted glasses, the French revolution was a bloody mess.
Luis and Antoinette's fan? To the guillotine..!!
As we say over here, "you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs".
bad
Funny how when it's another nation's holiday, the Americans are all fine with them 'only getting a decal'. And the people from that nation are grateful for a decal. But if it's an American holiday where they only get a decal, they can't deal with it
Pretty decal! :D
