The following post was made this date within the Parade Ground & Mess Tent of the Union Army HQ Forum.
OFFICERS OF THE ACWGC UNION ARMY,
ATTENTION TO PARADE!
It gives me great pleasure to award the following commendation to General D. S. Walter in recognition of his substantive and committed service as General-in-Chief of the Union Army for the period of January 1st to November 4th, 2010.
CITATION
As becomes the traditions of the ACWGC Union Army and in keeping with the values of recognition for services rendered in its behalf, the following ciatation is presented. During the period of his tenure as General-in-Chief of the ACWGC Union Army General Walter developed and implemented a more responsible and accountable direction within the leadership of the Union Army, laying the foundations for an increased sense of attention to duty at all levels of command. His insistence upon a stated acknowledgement of the understanding of command responsibilities by the officer recommended for the position has and will continue to provide the Union Army with more active and responsive leadership at all levels. General Walter also implemented an awareness of a need for a more fluid and dynamic process of cross-seeding of capable officers from one army to another where the leadership need was apparent. In terms of heightening the enjoyment of the Union Army's administration, General Walter went out of his way in providing a distinct and visual enhancement to the announcements of command appointments and General Rank promotions. With much forethought, circumspection and energy he brought the Union Army HQ Forum into existence as a decidedly reserved place for Union Army business and cammaraderie. In appreciation for his devotion, constancy, focus and attention to the duties of the Union Army Chief of the Armies (General-in-Chief), and for his personal commitment and sacrifice in the performance of those duties, General D. S. Walter is hereby awarded the Union Army's Outstanding Service Medal and Ribbon, the General's fourth such, career award.
General D. S. Walter is also authorized to display the Union Commander of the Armies 1-Year Service Ribbon in acknowledgement of his service.
OFFICERS OF THE ACWGC UNION ARMY,
Present, ARMS!...Order, ARMS!
Parade, DISMISSED!
