A big HUZZA!!!! for Edheler.

He passed his Instructors PC at New Philladelphia, OH this weekend.

Pictures to follow.

Way to go Ed.....

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

Congratulations Mike, welcome to the Pennsylvania Corps of the Red Hat.
Now get down in he dirt, accolades complete!
"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

Congrats Edheler!  Michigan's adopted son from Pennsylvania.

I know this must be an exciting time for you.     Of course nothing will compare to the time you spent in Lapeer.  ;D

See you on the trail,

OK Mike, I just got the email Okey Dokey from Instructor Promotions:

You are OFFICIALLY a Red Hat!
Wear it well my friend - you worked hard to earn it.  You certainly deserve it.

It was a pleasure working with you in New Philadelphia, and I was proud to present it to you.  You are always welcome to join us in the Buckeye state...

Special thanks to Stand and Invictus Maneo for border raiding as well.  We certainly couldn't have done it without the three of you,

Take care,
kah

Thanks everyone! It only took me 9822 miles of travel to do it. :) If you take out my California trip, since I flew, I am still going to cross 5k miles driving when I go to Gibsonburg, Ohio this weekend! I have really enjoyed the journey and look forward to where the trail leads!

I really couldn't have done it without the feedback of everyone I worked with. Special thanks to Calfret, DryFire, EZ3, Fred, KAH, MeanStreaker, Miki, Mr Happy, Nero, Posterboy and Stand. I also appreciate everything I have learned from all of the IITs I have worked with, everyone at the Gibsonburg Ohio IBC, Elverson Pennsylvania IBC and the Lapeer Michigan AIBC.

Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me.  Grant me victory over my foes, and those  that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be if I only had my Gun; and loard if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.

Remember only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: JESUS CHRIST and the AMERICAN ARMED FORCES.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom-Unk

But he who is slow to anger allays contention.---Prov15:18

Congrats Edheler, and thanks for adding Kentucky to your mileage and making us part of your red hat too!  Looking forward to Cannonsburg.

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Alex, my challenge to you is to find a range in the massive gulf of emptiness between Eastern and Western Pennsylvania! :) I am concentrating on finding somewhere to have at least one Appleseed in Washington County right at the moment!

Let's  find a range half way between your house and mine, and we will work on getting an Appleseed there together.
