I would like to congratulate BuzzG on doing a stellar job this weekend at Holmen, WI, and earning his well deserved Green Hat. Minnesota has gained another great Shoot Boss! ^:)^
Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

Congratulations Buzz, welcome to the fold!
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." — George Washington

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." --Mark Twain (1835-1910)

"A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either." ~ Thomas Paine

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.
Calvin Coolidge

"We are fighting for our country, for posterity perhaps.  On the success of this campaign the happiness or misery of millions may depend."  Henry Knox

Atta boy Buzz!

And I can say "I knew him when..."
Fearful but resolute.

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

I knew him when he was a newbie shooter, before he shot RM.

Congratulations!

AFTERMATH

Well Buzz, it's about darn time!  You've been running around from shoot to shoot, all instructing and stuff..  Even on occasion, running a shoot when no SB was available.  And now, about 2 years later you finally get that Green hat!  What's the deal man? ::)

Yeah, yeah, I know.  All those shoots over the last year have made you an excellent instructor and an asset to Minnesota and our Nation. 

Seriously, thank you for your steadfast dedication and sacrifice to the cause of liberty. 
That Green Hat is well deserved and, I'm certain, will be put to good use.

Congratulations Buzz!

I saw it happen!  Congrats buzz
What brings together men liberated from local and national limitations is also what keeps them apart. What pushes for greater rationality is also what nourishes the irrationality of hierarchical exploitation and repression.  What creates society's abstract power also creates its concrete unfreedom.

Might be too late for that Green Hat.  This is what came in my box.
