"The program needs us all working one level beyond where we truly feel comfortable and competent." - ATM

Frodo: I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."
- George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress (8 January 1790).

Captain Noah Cook a Revolutionary War Veteran was my great, great, great,...great grandfather. Noah Cook enlisted in the militia on April 21, 1775 at age 18 upon learning of the Battles of Lexington and Concord that morning. His company left on that day for Concord arriving April 24, 1775.*

It does not take a majority of cats to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men and breaking stuff in their houses.

Nice I like it, Kate is my new Appleseed hero  O0 O0 O0 O0 O0

"That was something that Kate Bixler learned after she became involved in Project Appleseed, a national marksmanship organization that holds dozens of training events in Indiana every year.

Kate, 15, New Palestine, is an instructor with Appleseed. When she was younger, she used to go to firing ranges with her family.

"You know, looking back, I'm just like 'oh my goodness.'  Before Appleseed, I wasn't that safe. We'd just carry rifles on our shoulders all the time, and you know, have them loaded and everything else."

Kate doesn't hunt, but she has been shooting at targets since age 9. The first day she showed up at a Project Appleseed shoot, the instructors recognized her talent and recommended she become a trainer.

She says riflery teaches personal responsibility. "It's a sport, but unlike team sports, you're not relying on everyone else. It's solely yourself and your accomplishments," she said."


Well done Kate
