Old Glory!

Attached is a picture of a  grave site of a Revolutionary War Soldier from Connecticut located in Sauk County, Wisconsin near my home.

And above is a list of Wisconsin graves that the Sons of the American Revolution have published with a link to their story.     



"My primary objective is to change hearts and minds, for that is where the gaping hole in the hull of the USS America lies. I am looking to make a spark and praying that it will ignite, by their own will, into a bonfire in their hearts and souls."  PHenry

"Folks, this Appleseed thing doesn't work if we get a patch and go home. It doesn't work if we shoot a Rifleman score and remember the good times we had out on the range. It only works if we take that 7th Step and spread the 'seed. HUZZAH!!!"  Slim 


April 18-19, 2009  "The seeds of rifle marksmanship were sown in good ground.  In the end, then, every attendee walked away as an instructor for their friends, family, coworkers.  May you tend your patch in Liberty's garden well and through a long life."  Francis Marion

We went to one near my place for the SC meeting.  There is an older gentleman that has done his research on this Rev Vet and Daniel Morgan, as they were together throughout the war.

Very interesting, very inspiring.

As the states get up to speed, it would be great to see "state specific" history wrapped into as many Appleseeds and on the state boards as possible.

Thankfully, the Rev Vets were often frontiersmen, so they reached states that were not part of the actual conflict, giving us a wider net.

Oh the day when we can afford a "state historian" for each state.....

The dips in your couch will go away if you get up and take the Seventh Step!

Spending time near ff's place a couple weeks ago at the final resting place of a true patriot that marched off to win our liberty was truly inspiring.  I'm sure John Austin looked down upon us as we remembered and, thus, honored him.
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

Used to ride a Kawasaki Mean Streak motorcycle.  I'm not an angry, naked runner.  :)

How about we bestow upon this fine Kentucky historian, Bill???, an honorary RWVA historian award for telling and retelling the RWVA and its members the story of John Austin.  Hey, we don't have much to give, but maybe we could offer him a membership or honorary certificate for his generous talk in the cold weather today.
