Dusty old helmet, rusty old gun,
They sit in the corner and wait –
Two souvenirs of the Second World War
That have withstood the time, and the hate.
Many times I've wanted to ask them –
And now that we're here all alone,
Relics all three of a long ago war –
Where has freedom gone?
Mute witness to a time of much trouble,
Where kill or be killed was the law –
Were these implements used with high honor?
What was the glory they saw?
Freedom flies in your heart like an eagle.
Let it soar with the winds high above
Among the spirits of soldiers now sleeping,
Guard it with care and with love.
I salute my old friends in the corner.
I agree with all they have said –
And if the moment of truth comes tomorrow,
I'll be free, or By God, I'll be dead!

     WE HAD A COUPLE DOWN FROM OHIO VISITING FAMILY IN GREENSBORO, CAME OUT TO SHOOT. ALL OF THE STUDENTS CAME OUT WITH AN EXCITEMENT AND WILLINESS TO LEARN, THAT WAS AMAZING. ALL EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE COMING BACK AND BRING OTHERS WITH THEM. MOST OF THE SHOOTERS WERE SHOOTING IN THE 200'S TO 180'S. NEXT APPLESEED SHOULD HAVE A BUMPER CROP OF RIFLEMEN. THANKS TO COUSIN HART AND THADDEUSS FOR MOWING THE RANGE.

This Ohio family truly enjoyed the product and effort from your volunteers. I learned a lot from this experience- mainly that it is possible to over think preparation for your wife and daughter, and bring on equipment issues because you did. It was well worth our trip, and while I'm not sure I'll get back to NC this year, I'm already looking for events here in Ohio.
