You are cordially invited to attend the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Bellringer (Jared) to be held Saturday, Dec 5th at 10am at the Lake Wisconsin Evangelical Free Church, N1640 Ryan Rd, Lodi, WI.

A luncheon will follow the ceremony.  Please bring 2 cans of your favorite soup.

Bellringer, one of WI's first junior IIT's, has been with Appleseed since 2009 when he became officially old enough to legally shoot in Wisconsin.   (BTW - the laws in WI have since been updated...) .  It took him a while to earn rifleman but he persisted.

That persistence that he learned at Appleseed helped see him through completing the Eagle Scout Rank.   
He would really be honored if some of his Appleseed family could attend the 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

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

Huzzah!

Bellringer, I believe we coresponded before, perhaps about paracord?
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

LadyVetch

I passed along all your thoughts to Bellringer.  He is excited that Appleseed might be coming back to Winnequah so he can work on earning that red hat.

Roland - Bellringer says you did correspond about paracord.  You wanted to know how to make the bracelets. 

I hope we might get to see some of you tomorrow.
