Yes indeed Michigan has yet one more RED HAT.  Congratulations Kris.  Your dedication to the mission is inspiring.  I look forward to working for you.   ;D

The southwest corner of Michigan is growing by leaps and bounds.  Now we have another Red Hat to lead the area. 

Did you sign up yet to SBIT?   ~~:)

Congratulations Kris.
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." — George Washington

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." --Mark Twain (1835-1910)

"A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either." ~ Thomas Paine

CONGRATS Kris! It was great to be there when you got it! And thanks for bringing the present for me to shoot today, only fitting I got to use it on your orange hat!

It was my pleasure and honor to give Kris his Red Hat.  He was kind enough to make it a no-brainer, as I threw him under the bus prodigiously on Saturday.  I'll simply paraphrase Superheat:

All I have to say in response is



Seriously, thanks to everyone in this program and especially the Michigan cadre.  I'm honored to be a part of this organization and hope you realize the impact you make in the lives of the shooters and the volunteers.  I'm truly amazed at how I truly feel very close to the people in this group.  You are all very special.

I'm especially honored to have earned the Red Hat on Memorial Day weekend.  While my contribution pales in comparison to those that this holiday commemorates, I hope I can do just a little bit to push the ball forward.

Congratulations Kris. I'm so grateful you hooked me up with AS. Now, if you can get a job letting you be around more maybe I could get a little tutoring.

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

Marksmanship can be taught and learned,

How many have you inspired that became involved?

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery
