My first glass will be raised in toast to Major General Don Golen. He's selling his talents short to make me look better, although I do play a mean game of hoops...[:D] Don's a true friend and mentor, it will be my pleasure to continue to serve with him in the Grand Old Army of the Potomac![;)]
My second glass will be raised in toast to General Mark Nelms. I'm a relatively quiet member, not so well known, and tend to contribute my energies in areas that aren't as visible. Thanks for giving me the chance to continue to lead our Army forward.
My third glass will be raised to Colonel Scott Ludwig. It'll have to be the last time to share such a toast until after your Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to surrender the field. We'll just have to stare, steely eyed, as sworn enemies across the battlefield to take each others measure until then.[}:)][:D]
If I'm still able to stand for a fourth glass,[xx(] it will be to raise a cheer, for I Corps, for the Army of the Potomac, and the Union forever! Huzzah![:D]
