[MR] A very big thank you to her Majesty

[trey and janine sutter]

Cian,

It was good to see you at the War and I hope you had as much fun as was 
possible.  As for worrying about overstepping your station with 
mentioning Her Majesty and Her providing for the Army and all Her 
subjects, don't worry about that.  I think it is the duty of all 
Atlantian's no matter their station to notice, report or compliment 
someone on hard work that they do especially when it is for the benefit 
of others.  When people like that are caught "doing something right" 
they are much more likely to do something similar again.  Even if it is 
their only such service, they get the satisfaction of a kind word being 
spoken to them for their efforts.

Her Majesty has been bringing water and coolers and ice and snacks for 
the fighters at Pennsic and at Gulf War for the last several years and I 
don't imagine she will stop any time soon.    She knows that the 
Atlantian Army does better when well supported with supplies and lets 
face it... the site water can be fairly scary at times.  Her Majesty 
also said it was quite humorous to pull up to the Grocery store and ask 
them to load 200 gallons of water into the van.  They are so used to us 
at Pennsic that they didn't even stare when she asked.

This year saw others stepping forward to support the troops whether 
specific units or the Army at large.  The Army excels at what it does 
partially because it is so well taken care of.  To all such volunteers, 
We thank you for your efforts.  Please keep up the great work.

In Service,

Sinclair
Rex Atlantia.

And we all know that Atlantians soon shrivel without the life giving liquid. It's been my understanding, her Majesty supplied us (her fighting subjects et,al.) with a small truck of water to get us through the war, using her own funds.
