LtGen XVI Corps

[Joe Meyer]

Congratulations, Captain Sanchez! It's good to see our lieutenants advancing into their next rank. I heard that General Jensen accorded your promotion with a a very fine divisional parade!

Ah, yes, a fine day it was to see our gunners work their pieces with so much efficiency and complete domination of the field. They, the Rebs, knew not what hit them, and were essentially powerless to prevent it. Turn after turn we pummeled them, destroying a full 20 of their own tubes. It might have gone on forever had not...

[J. Sheffield]

Well done Captain Sanchez, congratulations.
