I would like to congratulate my son Evan Giddings (Recon82) for earning his Redhat this past weekend at the home range in Ramseur. I couldn't be any prouder.

Bulldog, you beat me to it! Evan's instruction was outstanding this weekend, showing that he has studied and practiced a lot to hone his craft. Seeing him educate a large group of his own Trail Life troop was icing on the cake! The North Carolina instructor cadre is growing strong with more additions to come soon...

Here's a shot of Recon82 (wearing his "before" hat on Saturday) describing the workings of a Brown Bess musket with a replica graciously supplied by JustKim from Florida.

I had the pleasure of working with Evan at last year's Boot Camp. He's an outstanding person and will be a excellent Instructor. Huzzah!

I am happy to see the hard work recognized.  I love seeing families volunteer together.  It would have been nice to see this in person. Congrats!

"This country has been made by the Timothy Murphys, the men in the ranks. Conditions here called for qualities of heart and hand that Tim Murphy had in abundance. Our histories should tell us more about the men in the ranks, for it was to them, more than to the generals that we were indebted for our military victories." -  Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as New York Governor, 1929, at the dedication of the memorial to Murphy
