The President has written LtGen Blackburn - free drinks!

MAIN BAR ROOM
Welcome to officers of both sides. Sit down and enjoy a drink served by our lovely barmaids Gloria and Liberty. Trade war stories or tall tales, but remember your deportment; that large man behind the counter will not hesitate to escort you out, if your behavior does not honor your rank!

Moderators: shsober, Jim Boling

Lt Gen Blackburn

The President of the United States has appointed you Commander of the Fourth Division, Sixth Corps, in the Service of the United States, to rank from the Seventeenth day of October, Two Thousand and Ten. Should the Senate, at their next session, advise and consent thereto, you will be commissioned accordingly.

A letter from our President? This is reason enough, to spend you some drinks, Sir! Barkeeper, I will pay the bill for all Officers who will congratulate Lt Gen Blackburn.

Regards
Ambros
LtGen VI.Corps

Congratulations, Ed. Or my sympathies? :D

In any case, thanks for returning to a command position. Your leadership experience will make the army better.

Ed, you sicko! Report for a complete mental evaluation first thing in the morning - and leave the hairpiece in your tent. It's because of mental retards like us that this war has lasted for 150 years (and with luck, it'll go another 150 years after us).

Congratulations, Ed! I suspect that this was another case of rousting out the old vets to shore things up; a not uncommon exercise these days, but certainly one well appreciated!
