Congrats Sean.  You have worked hard for this, and it's a well-deserved promotion.  Thanks for your dedication and commitment to saving the ship!  And thanks for being there to help support the rest of us along The Appleseed Trail.

(If you want to get together some time I'm pretty sure I have a SB hat in reserve - or we can save that for an 'official' ceremony.)

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

I thank you all for your kind comments. This is truly a milestone in my life.

The journey to the Appleseed System was similar to that of many others. Reading a few words written in Shotgun News, seeing a booth at a gun show (Three guys in RWVA gear, with a LTR, who each said that their name was Mark!!!) and making the decision, "I have to GO NOW". But what really is it? What is an Appleseed Event? What is to be expected? Well, one finds out when they arrive and they leave with far, far more than they ever expected. We all know it to be true. We have all seen the results hundreds of times. And who will be there to greet them when they do arrive? Who was waiting to welcome us as a valued friend and neighbor? Who took us by the hand and started us on a road, which was thought to be lost? Someone that stood up and did the job because it needed to be done. Would we let them stand there alone? NO!!!! And that is why we all volunteer our time and efforts to do whatever duties are required.

As LittleMo once said "We need the help". And as R1sgx2 (with stick in hand) once said after looking at a great target group "YOU, KNOCK IT OFF!!!". There can be no greater compliment!!!!

Again, thank you for your kind comments. Grumpy1 has requested a celebration party at Spartan's summer home, so you are ALL invited to WISHY'S ICE CREAM, RT 812, CROGHAN, NY on the evening of Saturday, July 27th, 2013. All the ice cream you can handle!!!!

A bit of insight for those who have not had the pleasure of visiting Wishy's:  Typically, "all the ice cream you can handle" is their kiddie-cone.  Each scoop is softball-sized.

Growing old is mandatory; Growing up is optional!  :)

Marksmanship can be taught and learned,
but the motivation has to be inspired for the
people to become involved.
How many have you inspired that became involved?

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders."
