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

Saturday & Sunday September 13th & 14th, 2014 in Chugiak Alaska, nineteen souls, from all walks of life, showed up to pay respects to the traditions and heritage that we all share. 

I am honored to have been able to spend this weekend with you all.  The determination that you each showed in the face of adversity is one of the defining characteristics of what it means to be an American, and it was exhibited by all of you in spades this weekend.

I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to the Birchwood Recreation and Shooting Park staff, who undertook great effort to ensure the safety and well being of all in attendance. 

I'd also like to thank my fellow instructors:
Taka222 -- you are an awesome Instructor.  You are the cornerstone of Appleseed Alaska ans I know I can you rely on in every aspect of the shoot.
AlaskaRed -- you define Professionalism with your outstanding instruction and attention to detail
Dave220 -- your quiet, confident demeanor radiated all weekend to our shooters.  Your outstanding 7th stepping help fill the line with great folks.
LittleJohn220 -- you are an insightful marksmanship coach.  Just look what you did for Ben! Creative solution to the problem you detected -- that's the way!
Eagleriver -- you unstoppable energy is amazing.  Thank you and even though I kidded you about the chowder, it was great.  Ranger!
Eric Bovee -- Shoots the score Saturday afternoon, RSO Sunday morning, outstanding Line Boss Sunday afternoon -- that's what we call a fast mover.

It was my pleasure to get to know each and every one of you.  Please come back to Appleseed, if for no other reason that the fact I enjoy the people I meet there.  They are the finest.  Helping them become accomplished marksmen is just the frosting on the cake.
