"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

To thems not already familiar:
Old Glory acquitted herself with much distinction in her first-ever role as "on location reporter" at Ft. Stewart.

She diligently photog'd the entire adventure, ran a video camera as well as a voice recorder, conducted impromptu interviews, and made copious written notes - all the while smiling and offering encouragement and marksmanship ed to the soldiers.

She was professional and personable, casting a fine light upon our organization.

Did I mention that she slept in Army barracks, ate Army food, and spent an entire week surrounded by rough men?

Kudos to you OG - long may you live.

OG,
Thanks for posting the examiner links, now I have more internet reading! O0 Mrs. desertrat144 wonders where I find all this info, and wonders why I send so much time on the forums, this is why.  Thanks for the postings.

I'm new here...not sure how to start a new topic so am posting here.  Perhaps moderator can move this to a prominent spot on the board.

Backwoods Home Magazine (May-June 2010 issue) features Appleseed Projects on its cover and an excellent feature story by Massad Ayoob.  A great article about a great project, by a great author, in a great publication!  Don't miss it!

I ordered two copies - clear and present proof  that I still have a ways to go on getting all of my ego checked at the door.  :-[
