Thank you kindly sir, I believe I now have the honor of holding the worst combat record of any officer of equal rank, but will strive to improve on that, and see that no officer under my command holds a like honor. Drinks are on me, even for any butternut officer that comes this way.

My <SALUTE> to you, Lieutenant General Groce! An officer's combat record does not always reflect the true character of the man. I often feel so sorry for my opponents, that I allow them possibly more victories than I should; a situation that I'm sure you've experienced! But then, I suppose that you'd never make it to the point thresholds for promotion were that consistently the case. Still, we must all comport ourselves as gentlemen in our dealings with those abiding South of the Mason Dixon Line.

Congrats Lt. General Groce! I'll have me some of those free drinks that you speak of. While I prefer to mooch off of General Thompson, far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Best wishes!

Lt General Groce,
David,

Congratulations, Sir! It's great to hear of your promotion! You are very well liked in the Confederate Camp... regardless of your Win-Loss Record!

Could I have a different glass, Sir? This one seems to have Rusty's lipstick on it! [;)]

Warmest Regards,
