AWARDS WE HAVE WON

"After viewing your Home page I must say you have outstanding taste in web page design..it's one of the best I've seen in a long time.... We know how much work goes into creating a quality site like this.... We at Army Community Service (ACS) are always on the lookout for Family type pages. We here, are proud to award you with the Army Community Service Award of Excellence for your outstanding site."

I just finished visiting your web page - very nice job! It is evident you have/do spend a lot of time on your site. I would be honored if you would accept the citation below. Please note because of the significance and background of our award, less than 40% of those nominated are selected. What I am trying to say is please don't bury it among the "you can have this award - just ask" awards. Also, because we are recognizing your efforts not ours, linking is your option - we do not use our award to generate traffic, we are very successful without it.
Congratulations! Your web page has been selected to receive the "FLY WITH EAGLES" award presented by HART Enterprises* (http://www.hart1.com). This award was implemented because in 1984, as the result of an accident while serving as an officer on active duty with the US Army, I became a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down. In a veterans hospital for 10 months, I was among many young men struggling to put a sense of worth back into their lives. I always admired our national symbol, the bald eagle, for its strength, courage and beauty, and its ability to soar on the slightest of winds. It was what those of us in the hospital were trying to do - muster up the strength and courage to live our lives with the least amount of help. Now I am in a position financially, physically, and spiritually to recognize others for their efforts. Thus, the "Fly With Eagles" award was born. We surf the net looking for worthy web pages. And, in some cases, web pages are recommended to us. Your respect for proper NET ETHICS and your ability to display your web page in a LOGICAL, INFORMATIVE, and CREATIVE format places you among only a handful of web masters that have received this award.

"This website lovingly brought to life by the talented webmaster, Mr. Bob French, is worthy of all praise. Bob does justice to the memory of the men who were this gallant regiment which distinguished itself in many campaigns of the American Civil War. Bob and his talents rate the most favorable marks for the following: Presentation -- A+, Material depicted -- A+, Roster and History -- A+, Biographies, Causes of Injury and Death -- A+ and the list goes on to include the aspects of the current day 22nd Massachusetts.

For the wonderful job that is presented by the depiction of the 22nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, we at the American Civil War Excellence Award AND the American Civil War Living Heritage Award present and offer our tokens of appreciation. Sir, today we salute you and your site, the 22nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry with a tip of our kepi and a rousing three cheers."
