For 16 years I've been honored to be associated with Project Appleseed. I started with Fred at Ramseur and later he handed me my first Rifleman patch, Rusty running my first RBC, Wreck handing me an Orange Hat, Coke Guy my Red Hat, and Mixed Metaphor my Pistoleer™ Patch. Now it's time for me to retire.
The time spent with you all, my friends, is irreplaceable. The time spent sharing our National heritage and motivating new patriots makes my existence on this mortal coil worth it.
I leave you because the love of my life needs me now, but I will always be grateful for all you have given me and meant to me. Keep up the mission.
Bless you all and Godspeed.

Fair winds and following seas, shipmate. We have the watch. Like me, you have sworn at least two oaths, one of them to love and care for your wife. You're doing the right thing.
You will be missed sir! Thank you for all you did for the program.
Thank you for your service. Wishing you all the best in this new phase of your life.
Very sorry to hear, but completely understandable.
Your absence will be a great loss to the program.
Doc, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Your witt, wisdom, and love of liberty will be missed. Thank you for your dedication.
May God bless you and your family as you navigate the changes.
Will be keeping you in our prayers.

Goodbye, Doc, thanks for coming to pistol us in Indiana a few years back.
Steve,
Like all the others have said, you'll be missed. Thanks for all your time and caring.
You can retire from volunteering, but you're always Appleseed family.
We'll keep you and your family in our prayers.
Sad to see you go but I am thankful for the time we spent together. O0
Doc, thank you for your dedication to the Mission over the years. You are missed on the line.
Blessings to you and your family.
Our paths crossed only once, at Knob Creek KY several years ago. You were a great asset at that event, and it was a pleasure to work with you. God bless and you certainly have your priorities in the right order.
Thanks for your dedication, Doc! You will be missed :'(
Fair winds and following seas. O0
Take care and god bless.
We go through various times in our lives. It sounds like this is the time of life for you to focus on loved ones, and that's the right thing to do. Thank you, sir.
Thank you for your service over the many years!!!!! I know of many events that could not have gone well without your help. You have definitely left a legacy that won't be forgotten. I wish only the best for you and yours and will continue our dialogue as long as you want to. I'm only 20 something minutes away if you need me. Praying for you and your wife daily.
Thank you for your time here. Wishing you and the love of your life the best.
