What a great weekend. Appleseeders joined the Southern Wisconsin Appleseed Instructors for a GORGEOUS weekend at McMiller in Eagle, WI to hear the story of April 19, 1775 and learn and practice the fundamentals of marksmanship.   A great mix of new shooters and more experienced shooters. Jim and young James battled equipment problems on Day 1, but perservered. Young Dylan improved greatly from Day 1 to Day 2, while his dad Ryan made an impressive showing himself. Chris shot a Rifleman score of 210 (Huzzah!) and stepped up to take an orange hat. Well done!

"Our forefathers gave us a better way to refresh the Tree of Liberty. If we give our blood and sweat now,  willingly, by using the political and social processes they secured for us with their lives, maybe our own Posterity will never have to unwillingly spill their blood and tears to re-secure their Liberty.

"The cost of a thing is the amount of life required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run. When one has obtained those essentials necessary for well-being â€" food, shelter, warmth, and clothing, there is an alternative to struggling through steel jungles for the luxuries. That's to adventure on life itself, one's vacation from humble toil having commenced." -Townsend Whelen

I was one of the Marines who had attended this weekend and I must say once again, this was one of the finest weekends I had had in 20 years.  We are very pleased with everything, how it was managed, the training provided, and history, and the patriotism shown at this weekends event.  Thank you for sharing with us a great time.  As a result of this fine experience, I had passed the word on the several others who did not know about Appleseed, but will be joining in Racine in July. 
Thank you all.
