Major General Karl McEntegart, Sir! <salute>

Congratulations on your well earned promotion!

Account from an unknown soldier

At the Battle of Antietam, as one of the regiments was for the second time going into the conflict, a soldier staggered. It was from no wound, but in the group of dying and dead through which they were passing, he saw his father, of another regiment, lying dead. A wounded man, who knew them both, pointed to the father's corpse, and then upwards, saying only, 'It is all right with him.' Onward went the son, by his father's corpse, to do his duty in the line, which, with bayonets fixed, advanced upon the enemy. When the battle was over, he came back. and with other help. buried his father. From his person he took the only thing he had. a Bible, given to the father years before, when he was an apprentice.

Congratulations Karl; well deserved. Does that additional star mean that you'll be an even tougher opponent?

Thank you Sir, you are too kind.......if I'm a tough opponent, God spare us from the poor ones
