Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2010 1:09 am
Gentlemen of the Army of the Cumberland,
The following was posted this date within the Parade Ground & Mess Tent of the Union Army HQ Forum.
OFFICERS OF THE ACWGC UNION ARMY,
ATTENTION TO PARADE!
It gives me great pleasure to award the following commendations to Lieutenant General Ned Simms and Brigadier General Douglas Shaw in recognition of their separate contributions involving two recent tournaments.
SIMMS CITATION
As becomes the traditions of the ACWGC Union Army and in keeping with the values of recognition for services rendered in its behalf, the following citation is presented.
Lieutenant General Simms made large contribution of his personal time and energy in developing and administrating the recent, 2010 single-elimination, High Tide Tournament, a very rigorous and challenging test of the skill levels of the participants entered. He maintained a high degree of oversight and direction which resulted in a very unique and memorable experience for those officers who participated. In addition, he recalled another dimension to tournament play that had not been experienced for a number of years.
SHAW CITATION
As becomes the traditions of the ACWGC Union Army and in keeping with the values of recognition for services rendered in its behalf, the following citation is presented.
Brigadier General Douglas Shaw volunteered his time and energy in representing the ACWGC Union Army in the developement, organization and monitoring of the 2010 Western Thunder Tournament. His capable administration of the tournament was undertaken in conjunction with a representative of the ACWGC Confederate Army, Colonel Stewart Stiles. General Shaw's experienced guidance and attention to duty contributed to a succesful and enjoyable experience of a wide number of officers from the ACWGC Union Army's Western Theater.
It is with no small amount of satisfaction and gratitude that I now present Lieutenant General Ned Simms and Brigadier General Douglas Shaw with the ACWGC Union Army's Distinguished Service Order, the second such career award for both officers.
OFFICERS OF THE ACWGC UNION ARMY,
Present, ARMS!...Order, ARMS!
Parade, DISMISSED!
