Hi, how about saying a few words in the honour of Stanislav Petrov during the chat? He died 5 years ago on May, 17th. (edit: his day of death was May 19th, not 17th)

In 1983 he didn't report a false alarm about a nuclear strike to his Sovjet superiors, not knowing then that it was really a false alert. This might have prevented the nuclear war back then.
