If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. (James Madison)

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should."
(Captain Levi Preston, of the Danvers militia, at age 91, remembering the day)

That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and posterity, by all lawful ways and means in our power to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire to future generations.  Suffolk Resolves, September 9, 1774, attributed to Dr. Joseph Warren

 I have a hard time explaining how happy for/proud of this young lady I am. Her path to the Red Hat was way harder than mine. I have little problem speaking to groups. I think that is, no, WAS! her biggest hurdle. She pole-vaulted over it!! When you read this fireweed, know this: you are a gifted coach, an excellent instructor, and a valued part of our cadre. HAZZAH Rifleman!!!

Jmho, but I think Fireweed did a great job!

Congratulations, Rifleman!
As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun.  While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind.
Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body, and stamp no character on the mind. --Thomas Jefferson

Thank you all! I am very lucky to have had all the help and encouragement from many wonderful people along the way. FF your post is really nice and I must admit to stealing one of your briefing statments for my mental pep talks, something along the lines of 'this thing is all about attitude...so kick its butt'.  Again thank you all. :)

Huzzah! That's quite a cadre you're building up there, FD.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams

308LIBERTY

"We have always looked upon men as a set of beings naturally free - that a people can never be divested of those invaluable rights and liberties which are necessary to the happiness of individuals, to the well-beings of communities or to a well regulated state, but by their own negligence, imprudence, timidity or rashness. They are seldom lost, but when foolishly forfeited or tamely resigned." ~Jonas Clarke
