Commander's Citation
« on: March 12, 2008, 04:17:34 PM »
The Commander's Citation is the highest award in the Grand Army of the Frontier.  It is presented by the Commander to a member who has contributed significantly to the advancement and development of the Grand Army of the Frontier, over and above the expectations that earn a Star of Merit.

I am proud to award the Commander's Citation to the following GAF members:

Bvt Capt Lou Graham for the initial development of a recruiting brochure.

Dusty Tagalong for the further development of a recruiting brochure.

Pony Soldier for his outstanding article on the GAF which appeared in the SASS Cowboy Chronicle and resulted in recruiting no less than 50 new members.

Thank you and I guess I better offer to buy drinks for all   ;D

I just got my CC and went right to PR's article.  He did a great job.

Did I get a promotion while I was in Arizona Territory and missed it?  I was a Capt. when I left.........

And if Dusty and Pony Soldier don't want to cough up for rounds 2 and 3, we've got a horse trough just outside that we can use to help them remember where they put their greenbacks...  >:(

Lou,

Pending clarification from Bvt Col Bull Schmitt, I'll make it Bvt Capt. 

Doesn't take away from your efforts and contribution.

Well done!

I humbly thank the Commander.  As for the drinks.  Well it seems the paymaster has yet to show up, but if the sutler will run a tab for me, Drinks are on me. :o ::)

Bvt Brig Gen US Scout,

Lou currently is a Bvt Capt. However with a lot of work she should warrant a promotion in "6 or 7 years". ;D
