Sirs!.......Salute!
It is with great happiness and humility that I am coming back to my comades and to the Union Army, again!
Happiness - that I am going back into combat again with the Army of the Potomac (Regretfully, leaving the wife behind)
Humility - for the Union Army and it's fine Officers having returned me to rank, without sending me to the guardhouse for being AWOL!

Huzzzaah!!! To Uncle Abe and the Union!

I am a retired 69 year-old Marine Veteran, Military Toy Tester from 1964 to 1972, U.S. Marine Corps, Helicopter Technician (California and Hawaii), Civilian Helicopter Technician (Louisiana and Wisconsin) and Northwest Airlines Technician (Minnesota). Born to U.S Air Force parents, I was born in England, and lived in Germany, Spain and Ethiopia. First got into Wargaming with Risk, Avalon Hill-Gettysburg, Axis and Allies and purchased my first Talonsoft games (Gettysburg, Shiloh, Antietam, Chickamauga and Bull Run) in the late 90's. All other Civil War titles were bought at JTS/WDS.

I am glad to be back with my fellow soldiers in comaradery and to serve my country!

(P.S. - I sure am excited to be welcomed back to the ACWGC with open arms. I would have still have been at Leavonworth with bread and water, hard labor and a privates badge, if I had done this in the Marines!)

Thank You, General McOmish, a few beers are always good after a success or defeat. It's always in how much fun it is and meeting new friends. To you Sir!

You are a true gentleman, Sir!
