Dear Friends,

It is still very late winter as I write this. I want to thank all of the officers, NCO's and men who supported me last month in Harrisburg. I will do my very best not to disappoint you, or myself.

For those folks who didn't, I thank you for your constructive criticism, your love of the USV, and the support I hope to earn from you this upcoming season.

I hope to see most of you at our "kick off" or "shake down" at Neshaminy in a few weeks from now. If not, I am sure that the USV will be out in force for Spotsylvania. I am sure you are all ready to "get in some good scraps" and "stack those grey rascals like cordwood!"

Please, review the USV's SOP's, in regards to safety and authenticity. Let's strive to make our safety, and our camps the envy of the hobby.

Also, stop by my camp, and say hello, (bring whiskey), seriously, there are many of you that I don't know, and many of you that I don't know well, so feel free to come by and introduce yourselves.

I am, as I am sure you are, looking forward to a great year. See you soon.

Close up, and press on!
Brig.Gen. "Lucifer" T. Daniels
Cmdr. U.S. Volunteers
