ACWGC UNION ARMY HEADQUARTERS FORUM

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?

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

My thanks are in another thread. Now I just want the libations!

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!
