It was my very great honor and pleasure to present Ryan with his Green Hat at Newhall CA this weekend.
Ryan exemplifies every facet of an American Rifleman, runs a great shoot, mentors and assists his IITs and most importantly is there when you need him in a pinch ;)
Congratulations Ryan,
V
Congratulations Rocketman.
Huzzah!!
It's a little heavier than the last one, but as another great 'Seeder says, the view from inside is much the same...

All the "thank yous" would be a long list indeed. To all of you, the best way I can think to say it is, I won't let you or our forefathers and foremothers down. I'll see you on the Trail.
Well, say now!!
Very very very nice, I must say!!! O0 :bow: O0
Now, were you expecting that when you went? :o ..:.. ^:)^
Well earned, and truly a testimony to our training.....RM has stood up on every test in an non-compromising way.....it always gets done -right-!! 8)
So, now we have more......this is definitely a good thing...... O0
My burrito handed "chicklets" are leaving the nest, and soaring well on their own....... :cool2: ;D O0 ^-^
Well done, RM!! O0 O0 O0

How far north can you work?
Ryan. Great Job!! GREAT JOB!!
You are an asset to the program.

I remember when you were starting out on the IIT trail in Corona last year, and it wasn't long at all before I knew I'd be reading this thread some day.
Outstanding job, Ryan! O0

Congratulations. It was well deserved for someone who exemplifies the spirit and mission of Appleseed so well. I will admit it bums me out that some many of us "burrito-handed chicklets" are indeed leaving the nest. Hopefully there are still many occassions left to get to work together.
RM,
May I add my CONGRATS as well, Sir. O0
Come SB an event here in Texas. You are welcome here anytime.
