 It is with great pride I accept these honors on behalf of the Swampdragons. I also must add that our success was
only possible due to the efforts of our entire task group. The teamwork with the killers of 99Giap and the stubborn
fight of the 49ers plus an excellent battle plan from allied cic paved the way for mission success. :salute
As to the rumor of my death at enemy hands, I'm feeling much better now :angel:

Thanks for the comments all... glad to do it, and I think it adds a little to the event itself.

Umm... you would have to replace your SAPP medallion with the new award.   :noid   Only one image can be in your sig at a time.   :D
