		The Titan's Cross in Silver

		The WikiChevrons with Oak Leaves
		Your contributions to military history and the accompanying project on Wikipedia made you deserving of this long before your untimely death. Still, even though the WikiChevrons with Oak Leaves is the most prestigious award we offer as a project, it is far less than what you deserve. All of your friends here miss you, but the Man Upstairs is lucky to have someone like you alongside him. For the Military history Project coordinators, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] Awarded at 05:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

I am pleased to award him the WikiChevrons in recognition of these achievements. I would also like to extend the Military History Wikiproject's condolences to Robert's family and friends. His contributions here were greatly appreciated, and we were all saddened by the news of his passing. For the project coordinators, Nick-D (talk) Awarded at 03:54, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a
statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts,
that you are the mother of five sons who have died
gloriously on the field of battle.I feel how weak
and fruitless must be any words of mine which should
attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so
overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to
you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of
the Republic they died to save. I pray that our
Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your
bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory
of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must
be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon
the altar of Freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
Abraham Lincoln
