Just wishing all the Wisconsin Shooters and instructors a happy patriots day!  and for those that did not know:

The Wisconsin Senate approved Joint Resolution 9 and the Wisconsin Assembly concurred on Tuesday, January 30, 2001 proclaiming "April 19 of every year as Patriots' Day in the State of Wisconsin..."

A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!"
- Samuel Adams (Speech, State House of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, August 1, 1776)

Happy Patriots Day from PA!

Glad the law makers got something right.
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

Checking in from the great state of Ohio, wishing everyone a fantatic Patriots day, remembering, honoring, and continuing the work that courageous men started 237 years ago (and even before that).

Here are a couple of thoughts I ran across that might pertain to today, and rather than start a new thread somewhere else...



April 19, 1775...a day that will go down in history as the first 24 hour period of the Revolutionary War, a day that changed the course of the Nation being born as well as the course of the World. 

In Appleseed, we talk about how this began the Heritage, the Providential encounter of Marksmanship and History.  Without this fateful meeting, where would we be today?  I ask you now, was this meeting by chance?  Certainly not!  This day was set in motion by countless actions of our forefathers that were a testament to their forethought and preparation for such a day.  This day was set in motion by the actions of men decades, but what motivated these courageous men to begin with?  A passion and a vision for freedom.  The physical freedom that they pursued and fought for, and ultimately laid their lives down for, though, was simply a manifestation and expression of something that they held even closer and far more valuable: Spiritual Freedom that can only be found through Jesus Christ.  The vast majority of these men were unashamedly and unapologetically Christian.  The actions for innumerable pastors and preachers in Crusades and Reformations, decades before even the prep-work for April 19 began, laid the foundation for the American Revolution which, as we know, was won in the hearts and minds of our countrymen before the first shots were ever fired on April 19.           

Looking back 237 years today, we can know see that April 19 started the rise of the greatest Republic in modern history, if not of all time.  After the Revolutionary War ended, the American Revolution continued, and so did the Judeo-Christian mindset and actions that permeated the War.  As a direct result of this, the United States of America was founded upon the same principles that the War was founded upon, that mindset of Spiritual Freedom and the principles that follow therein.   

And while you still are enjoying some of the physical freedom that was won as a result of that fateful day, you may very well not be experiencing freedom of a different sort, true freedom.  I urge and encourage you to seriously think about freedoms that John Parker, Isaac Davis, Samuel Prescott, and so many others, had before April 19, 1775.  That spiritual freedom will change your life more than any physical liberty ever can.




"Freedom is preserved by those who die for it, but it will not survive unless people are willing to live for it."
-Boba Fett (The RWVA Instructor, not the Star Wars Bounty Hunter)

'Yes, I am a Rifleman, but I'm also a Ninja....and a Jedi.'

"Integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do."

"Remember, my opinion on the totem pole of life is somewhere below whale s***..." -Chris Costa

"The more you care about something, the deeper the fight will come from within."  -Travis Haley

Wow ,Wisconsin , O0
Has the bill been signed and will it go into effect next year?
Be great to have TV /radio coverage of this day the fight for liberty began.

Hopefully other state legislaures will follow suit .  ;)
Be nice to have state govt's promoting Appleseed via a patriots day .

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
