All,

This past weekend at Medical Lake, WA, Eric, or Pro Libertate, shot rifleman with scores of 213 and 222 the latter with a bolt action, nonetheless!) and picked up an Orange Hat.

It was his third Appleseed. I was privileged enough to work with him throughout all three.

I have no doubt that he will make a fantastic instructor, and greatly help us out with the lack of instructors in our area.

It should also be mentioned that Eric is a professional photographer, so you should see his fantastic work on AARs for Northwest Region shoots soon.

I look forward to working with Eric at upcoming shoots.

Roland

The doorway to freedom is framed by the muskets that stood between a vision of of liberty and absolute anarchy at a place called Concord Bridge--Charlton Heston, 1997

"Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle. And take responsibility for your actions. Never forget those that were killed. And never let rest those that killed them." -- Major Douglas Zembiec

Eric,

First, congratulations on earning your Rifleman's Patch.  Well done! O0

Second, thank you for stepping up and taking an orange hat.  We can always use more good IITs to strengthen Appleseed in NE Washington and N Idaho.  I hope we meet sometime on the Appleseed Trail. ..:..

Thanks again,

Congratulations Pro Libertate!
"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

Thanks so very much, all of you!  I had such a blast this weekend, and it was really great to have my dad and brother (who also made Rifleman) along with me.  My brother was so taken with the program and the presentation of history that -even though he was completely exhausted Saturday evening- he went home and immediately began to watch the movie "The Patriot", followed by "National Treasure" when he returned from Sunday's Appleseed.  I feel very fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful organization, and I truly look forward to working with each one of you, as well as continuing to learn and grow as a Rifleman.  Thanks again.
