XTRA! World of Tanks Memorial Weekend Event
Company: Wargaming.net

While the upcoming weekend might not hold much importance for those outside of the United States, in the U.S., this weekend is Memorial Day Weekend, a time we set aside to remember those who have served in our military. Also, as it turns out, it's evidently a great time to hold annual sales on anything from computers to mattresses to pet supplies.
