    We have released an Arma 3 Czech Veterans Pack, in collaboration with Civilisté děkují za službu ("Civilians thank soldiers"), to honor those who have served or are currently serving in the military. We would like to invite our community to create screenshots using this small pack of re-skinned assets. Shots should at least depict the special event logo. It represents the remembrance poppy, an international symbol often used for veterans days, and the lion from the Czech coat of arms. On Veterans Day (Nov. 11th), we will be creating a collage of the screenshots submitted. The top submissions will receive prizes, as well a special place in our Arma 3 Lars Blanken Gallery (from the Art of War Charity Pack) 🖼️ EDIT: On Veterans Day 2023, we've published a collage of the submissions. Many thanks to all of you for your support! EDIT 2: On December 18th 2023, we also announced our top three favorite submissions. Congratulations! Our recommendation is to use this pack in combination with the unofficial ACR_A3 - Army of the Czech Republic mod, which brings various Czech vehicles, uniforms, and other assets to Arma 3. Please note that the images do not have to necessarily depict the Czech military. You can depict members of your own country of choice – you will just need to feature the special event logo. Obviously, images containing ripped mod or IP infringing content will not be accepted, and images must be respectful and appropriate to the context and the spirit of Veterans Day. If you'd like to participate, download the pack from the Steam Workshop, create your screenshot in the Eden Editor, and reply to this post with your submission. If you'd like to share your screenshot elsewhere, do be sure to tag it with #Players4Veterans! For a bit of inspiration, check out this screenshot by our very own Scott Alsworth:
