Hi.
I will try my best not to.

Ah, Dean...

So now you know what its like to stand out front with a flag for all those riflemen to aim at![:0]

Congrats, Pal.[:D]

Guys, do you remember when we sounded just like Dean after we got our first few promotions? (silence follows) Ah yes, the nice humble gulping after we had gotten our first few promotions and had been publically acknowledged? Like we were going to have to carry the army on our own shoulders ...

Congrats Dean. Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy.

Here's to continued success for our new Ensign - in Maneuver games that is! [:p] Keep beating up on those British!

Ensign Beecham, Sir!

Congratulations! Well-deserved promotion, indeed [:)] Good to have a reliable officer to lean on in our battles. Keep the flag up, Sir, the French are arriving in force outside Albany now! Let's send them back to where they came from [;)]

For God and Country!

Thank you all for your kind words,
Atle at Albany the French will be Running very soon,And mike dont hold that flag of yours to high it may give me some think to go for,and then i will let you have a try at me,And Clp Bill Peters,Maneuvers what are they,I only fight would you like to have ago.Hi Hi [:D][8D]
