Gentlemen of the fine Army of Alabama <salute>
Mississippi is in the house! A Merry Christmas to our brothers in arms!
Claude, suh might I bother you for a bottle of your best? It's time to sit around the table and toast battles won and lost, and perhaps time for a tall tale or two. Did I ever tell you about the Yankee lieutenant who was "disarmed" by Nicodemus for being a bit forward with General McOmish's sister? Now that was a Christmas ball to remember. Bloody, but a ball to remember
Gentlemen, belly up to the bar. A toast to the Western Theater and the Confederate States Army!
Highest regards,
