Gents,

I've managed to get the pages covering the AotP OOB converted back to html and moved to a new site so at least there is a web presence for the army again. The original post here has been edited to link to the new site. Will continue working on it as time permits along with the Union Awards site as well as moving the Engineering site and my HPS file site to new locations.

Gen. Ken Miller
AotP

Gentlemen,

The OBD awards have been made and the AotP site updated to reflect the changes. I am still working on adding individual awards to the site, so far only 1/I has been completed, the others will be updated as they are finished.

Not a great month for the AotP, having only 3 victories against 7 defeats in June with 9 draws. Still there are some awards to celebrate.

Lt. Col. Bob Hovey, 4/1/V having won a Major Victory is hereby awarded the Gaps to Manassas ribbon.

Brig. Gen. William Drakert, 3/1/V, having won a Major Victory is hereby awarded the Chattahoochie ribbon.

Lt.Gen. David Groce V Corps, having fought in 9 actions this quarter and Maj.Gen. Paul King 1/V, having fought in 6 actions are both awarded the Combat Badge.

I believe I'll buy the first round, barkeep set em up.

General Miller,

Is there any intention of building a new Rose's Tavern or will we continue to do our drinking here? I do not mind either way, just don't want to get lost when you say those magic words "I believe I'll buy the first round, barkeep set em up"[:D]

Beware Gen. Miller, Gen.McOmish has already drunk all the beer at Miss Clarissa's.

Maj.Gen. Drex Ringbloom,
AotS Chief-of -Staff,
2nd Division Cmdr, "Corcoran's Legion", VIII Corps
Army of the Shenandoah

Drex - it was a team effort - a rare case of a Union CSA combined operation[:D][8D] Like a hot knife though butter - those AoG boys did not know what hit them - they are still thirsty[:D][8D]

Gentlemen,

The OBD awards have been made and the AotP site updated to reflect the changes. All officers now have awards listed on the site although I only added those I could find in the DoR through their OBD or Battle records. If any AotP officers have additional awards that should be displayed they can contact me via email and I will add them on the next update.

Having completed 14 battles in July the AotP had a combat record of 5 victories, (4 major and 1 minor) against 4 defeats, (1 Major & 3 Minor) while having 5 drawn battles.

Lt.Gen. David Groce won a Major Victory at Savage Station and is awarded the Savage Station Battlefield Ribbon.



Lt.Gen. Dwight McBride won a major victory at Chancellorsville and is awarded the 1 day ribbon



Lt.Gen. Colin Gaskell won a major victory at 2nd Bull Run is awarded the 2nd Bull run Battlefield Ribbon.



Brig.Gen. Sandy O’Neil also having won a major victory at 2nd Bull Run is awarded the same ribbon.



It appears I have ended my time as commander of the AotP on a good note, the army having had a winning record and several awards to celebrate. Due to pressing real life issues that prevent me from giving my best effort to the position I have asked to be relieved and Maj. Gen. Phillip Roubaud will be assuming command of the Army of the Potomac effective today. I will be assuming command of the 5th Brigade, 1st Division, I Corps and will assist Gen. Roubaud as his Chief of Staff while he takes command of the army.

Gen. Ken Miller
AotP

Congrats to all!
