"Hello Joe, My name is James Stump. I want to thank you for the very kind words about my site, the 24th. and 42nd. Virginia Infantry. I have been visiting your site and you have done a masterful job. You have created some great graphics, like your banners for your site. You have put a tremendous amount of love and work in disseminating the history of the 28th Thomas' Louisiana and the 18th Louisiana.

...I have enjoyed your virtual tour of Gettysburg immensely. This place we call Gettysburg leaves you awe struck with respect, reverence, honor and the awesome reality of what men will do who believe in a cause..."

Joe:

It is an honor to award both the 18th and 28th Louisiana Infantry regiment Civil War Web Sites with the Military Division of the Mississippi Web Site Award for excellence in design an content.

Joe, being a fellow web master for Civil War sites, I realize that your dedication to the 18th and 28th sites is not for money or fame, but really to pass on to others the heritage of our chosen regiments, of which you and I are so very proud.

I am certain that you personal reward lies in those rare moments when you establish contact with an unknown descendant that has yet another "tidbit" to add to the history of the regiments, or when a school child emails you to let you know that they are using your site historical detail to report to their class about their new found pride in their heritage.

A tip of my kepi to you, Joe and to the 18th and 28th Louisiana. May the Confederate battle flag of Loiusiana always fly in a sunlit breeze. Plese find attached to this email, the Military Division of the Mississippi Award which you may place on both web sites. This evening I will add the names of the 18th and 28th Louisiana to our "Roll of Honor".
