Gentlemen,

Congratulations on your well deserved awards! <salute>

I've just posted them to your Officer Dossiers! It's no wonder some of you are so successful in battle. With all that hardware dangling from your uniforms... it's nearly impossible for a minnie ball to find it's mark!

Great job!

Commanders, call your units to attention!

It is my honor to acknowledge superior performance during the month of January, 2014, with the decorated officers displaying combat prowess, tenacity, and overall excellence.

Major General David Peek is awarded the Outstanding Brigade for his efforts in command of I Corps in a MP contest. General Peek led the main attack against an isolated Yankee corps while the rest of the army held blocking positions on the flanks to prevent reinforcement. This attack saw Wadsworth's entire division eliminated, with the remainder of the Yankee I Corps and a supporting division of XII Corps suffering significant casualties. Well done, suh!



Lieutenant Joe Medeiors is awarded the Gallantry Citation for his 160 victorious turns in what was a defeat of epic proportions inflicted on Brigadier General Zafer Ejder of the Army of the Tennessee. I know the field well, and it is a difficult endeavor for the CSA due to the difficulty in moving laterally. General Medeiros made it look easy and receives his second award. Well done, suh!



Major Tony Barrett is presented the Purple Heart in recognition of his fighting spirit and desire to fight it out to the last. Major Barrett accumulated a total of 86 turns over two battles in losing efforts while displaying tenacity and a die-hard attitude in being recognized for his first award. Well done, suh! Keep plugging away at them Yanks and they will begin to crumble.



Commanders, this concludes the ceremony. You may dismiss your commands and assemble in the picnic area where a pig picking has been put together. Drinks will be available as well.
