What fun weekend at Ramseur... 10 fine people showed up on Saturday morning to hear some pretty cool stories and improve their marksmanship skills.  6 of them were able to make it back on Sunday and we even ended up with a new rifleman / orange hat.  Several shooters took the opportunity to get behind a M1 Garand on Sunday and see firsthand what a WWII battle rifle feels like while shooting at some steel at 200 yards... big smiles all around. I'll post more details later, but wanted to get this out there as I know there are some pictures floating around... so feel free to post them up.
Nevertheless, to the persecution and tyranny of his cruel ministry we will not tamely submit -- appealing to Heaven for the justice of our cause, we determine to die or be free

It was a great weekend, we had four youngsters on the line. They were the safest and well mannered bunch of kids I've ever seen. Their enthusiasm was infectious. One young man tried his hand with M-1 Garand and 200 yards, after the first 2 hits on the metal a smile appeared that looked like it would last at least a week. Congrats to Patrick for shooting rifleman and taking an Orange hat. I'm sure his 2 sons will follow in his foot steps. HUZZAH!!
Dusty old helmet, rusty old gun,
They sit in the corner and wait –
Two souvenirs of the Second World War
That have withstood the time, and the hate.
Many times I've wanted to ask them –
And now that we're here all alone,
Relics all three of a long ago war –
Where has freedom gone?
Mute witness to a time of much trouble,
Where kill or be killed was the law –
Were these implements used with high honor?
What was the glory they saw?
Freedom flies in your heart like an eagle.
Let it soar with the winds high above
Among the spirits of soldiers now sleeping,
Guard it with care and with love.
I salute my old friends in the corner.
I agree with all they have said –
And if the moment of truth comes tomorrow,
I'll be free, or By God, I'll be dead!

Thanks for a great weekend.  The boys are eager to get back there asap.  And I'm looking forward to coming back to start learning to be an instructor.  Should be another great set of challenges. 
The chief mark of the Declaration of Independence is the theory of equality.  It is the pure classic conception that no man must aspire to be anything more than a citizen, and that no man should endure to be anything less.

I believe in liberty very much as Jefferson did, allowing for the fact that a hundred years of history and experience have taught me to believe a little more than he did in original sin.

I can't see it.  The link brings me to my own google drive (which I didn't know I had, by the way--learn something new every day).  I suspect if I were more competent I could figure out how to see your file, but I can't.  I still live in about 1986, technology-wise. 

Apart from occasionally posting on internet forums.   :)
