I will write up the event in the upcoming newsletter.
The following After Action Report is approved, & submitted to the membership for comment. The Commander would like to comment on the efficiency, aggressive spirit & Esprit De Corps which allowed for a crushing victory on Sunday.
The Columbia Flying Artillery attended The Battle of Hot Springs N.C. on 05, 06, 07 June 09 as the 1st Mich. Battery
A. Sat. battle was under the command of Lt. Gardo and was hard fought to the end.
B. Sunday, after a very good church service by Chaplain Written, Lt. Creely was in command of Columbia, along with the 3rd US artillery. Maj. R. Bohland served as over all artillery commander, The battery was tried early by CSA cavalry but held them off. This to was a very hard fight with both guns performing as a very well commanded team. The battle ended with the US infantry pushing the confederates back into the woods. There were no incidents to report. Over all a good event.
2nd Lt. D. Gardo

May God bless you, your family, our unit, and our country.

You are excused, and I will pray for a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteIf you show up next month, I'll buy you dinner.
