Sorry, out at church, visits and riding the Trusty Triumph. Great news that you are an Official Red Hat Instructor, the future of America is in your hands, it will be safe. Thanks for stepping up and I hope to see you when your Red Hat has faded properly into one of those almost washed out reds - it makes it so easy to describe the difference between Officer Redcoats, and the enlisted ones. If you are wearing a Red Sweatshirt any way. 

Good luck and great things on the trail. O0

Great job, "little" brother.  I'm so very proud of you and thrilled that I had the privilege of watching you get your well-earned and well-deserved red hat.  You've worked hard for it, and it's been amazing seeing you progress, excel, and grow.  Keep up the good work, and thank you for all you've done and are doing for this country you care so deeply about.

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

GoldFish-

Was a pleasure to meet and work with you at the NRA convention.  I am gladdened to read of your recent promotion to Full RWVA Instructor.   

With men like you among our instructor ranks, I have no doubt that our success is assured.

With that hat comes great responsibility:

  • Maintain and improve your own instructor skills
  • Be always a 'face' and a 'voice' for Appleseed, and our mission
  • Support the Instructors-In-Training, mentoring them in the ways of the Instructor
  • Find new ways of reaching our students, to improve not only their marksmanship abilities, but furthermore, to ensure their recognition of their Duties as an American

I have no doubt in your willingness and ability to step up to the increased challenges and responsibilities that you now face.  A Rifleman Perseveres.
