Oh my... you just never know what's going to pop up around here! LOL!

I haven't heard a Jerry Reed song in a long long time. Thanks for bringing it back, Al! I might have to run over to Rhapsody and buy that song for the AotM webpage! [;)]

Gentlemen <salute>

Lt Col Marx, congratulations on your promotion to the rank of Lieutant Colonel and completing one year of service in the Army of the Mississippi! I look forward to receiving dispatches of your future accomplishments in the service of our worthy cause.

Captain Haines, my congratulations on your accomplishment sir! As Adjutant the the Commandant of the Vicksburg Military Institute, I would be remiss in my duties if I did not point out that you are still eligilble to participate in the Lieutenant's Cup competition. We would be honored to have you with us again.

My regards,

My compliments sir on your recruiting poster. It is very eye catching. I would also like to take a moment to publicly thank Colonel Hebert, my Division Commander for his help in developing a suitable brigade flag for my command.

Regards,

Brig. General Reneau,
Tim,

I must say that I like the looks of your new Brigade Flag. It makes me thinking of marching 20 miles a day... up and down mountains with no shoes! (No wonder I'm a cavalryman at heart!) [;)]

Great job! <salute>

General Reneau <salute>

It was my privelage to help, if even in a minor way. They are fine colors to be carried proudly by an honored officer in the Army of the Mississippi!

Gentlemen, congratulations on your victories! It's always nice to be able to visibly see the success of the Army of the Mississippi. In December, we posted victories against every Army in the Union. Five against the AoS, 2 against the AoT, 2 against the AoP and 1 against the AoC. <u><b>It looks to me like we THUMPED our arch rival the AoS pretty good this month!</b></u> Why that's a total of 264 victorious turns against the AoS alone! I imagine we should be seeing the white flag of surrender from them momentarily! [;)]

Keep up the fight!
