After Action Report:  Union Gap

6/28/2017

1 Comment

 
Fulbright Park, Union Gap, WA

     Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! Seemed the theme of this year's Battle of Fulbright Park as the Colonel marched the battalion every where while the Secesh marched but paces to each battle.  The battles weren't the greatest but working alongside the 20th Maine is always a pleasure.  It was also nice to have the weather participate with rather mild temperatures for eastern Washington.  
     Camp time was relaxing and we shot another YouTube video that will be coming out soon.  The evenings were cool and a lot of time was spent around candle light catching up and sharing stories.  The days were spent with lots of drill with Company D being the first and last company off the drill field each day.  The corporals did a fantastic job leading drill.  All our drill practice really paid off on the battlefield and earned us accolades from the Union battalion.  
     Perhaps the biggest highlight was holding Cpl. Hardway's official promotion ceremony.  One our company's strongest assets is having such a dedicated and talented corps of NCOs.  Our next battle event will be the Battle of Chehalis River.  We'll see you all then.

You should be thankful because despite busy schedule of everyone, you are still given the chance attend the camp time and everyone seems to have the energy to join. I am sure that became an educational camp for everyone since a lot of lessons were taught. As you have mentioned, the highlight of the event was the fact that the holding of Cpl. Hardway's official promotion ceremony was held. Too bad, I was not able to catch it.
