Steppin' Down For a While.

Appleseed has been one of the best things that has happened to me. History, marksmanship, meeting other Sons of Liberty. The list goes on. Appleseed was one of the best things that happened in my life, and I bet it will stay that way for a good long while.

Several months ago, I received a blow to the face that started causing health issues. These problems continue to get worse, and my doctor told me that until further notice, I am not allowed on the gun range, at all, for any purpose. I have tried doing things in the shadows, to help Appleseed out where I can, because it is such an awesome program, and it needs to go far. Anyway, it has gotten to the point to where I am no longer able to help, so I am backing out of the program completely. I wish it was different. Heck, I wish a LOT of things were different. I hope things continue to go well for Appleseed. I will be watching to see how it is doing, and I will ALWAYS be rooting for it. I will always be promoting it to the best of my ability, telling the stories, sending friends to shoots, and making sure that everyone who will listen to me, hears the stories of April 19th, 1775.

And I hope and pray that within a very short time I will see you all back on the trail.

Indiana Appleseed:  Farm Bred, Brass Fed

Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me.  Grant me victory over my foes, and those  that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be if I only had my Gun; and Lord if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.

Hope you heal up right as rain and soon at that!  We look forward to having you back when you can join us!  :---

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

It was a pleasure working with you ML, and I hope it won't be long before you're back with us. Take care of yourself, get well, and hurry back.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.  Thomas Jefferson

I will never forget you, Magloader. I'm glad to have met you out on the trail and had the opportunity to overcome adversity together. I wish you good luck in overcoming this issue as well.

We're still here if you ever need us.  -:)

I have not had the opportunity of working with you yet, so I hope you are able to return very soon.

In the mean time, we will be thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers.

Hi ML,

Get healed up right the first time.  You will be glad that you did what you needed to do as healing get slower as we go down life's path.  I hope to see you on the trail.  Read up on your history and knock the PC4 out of the park when you come back.  Only if you are able work in a Libertyseed when you can to keep in touch.

Thoughts and Prayers

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

..Magloader,
  I understand Completely what you are going through. Life has a way of ripping us down at times. We have to make a conscious choice to use it as a blessing. To use our struggles to better ourselves no matter what. I am also going through some heavy duty health issues for the last year and it looks like it will continue for a while into the future. In the meantime I pray for you and your good will, stay strong, stay positive and do what you have to do to get well and build a better future. You will overcome..

......Strength & Honor.......Josey Wales........

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. (James Madison)

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should."
(Captain Levi Preston, of the Danvers militia, at age 91, remembering the day)

That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and posterity, by all lawful ways and means in our power to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire to future generations.  Suffolk Resolves, September 9, 1774, attributed to Dr. Joseph Warren

Magloader,

What a tragic event for one so young! I pray that God's healing hands surround you fading your symptoms away and that comfort and strength be a blessing as well. Always remember you have a second family with AS and we are here if ever you need anything... Hoping your time away is short!! Stay strong little sister in liberty...

IHG,
