Another great PD event on the books. Some "repeat offenders" and some new faces. From young Sophia who is looking at ROTC and perhaps the Air Force Academy one day to Carol who showed amazing persistence and improvement, it was a great group and an honor for all of the instructors. The weather was very nice for this time of year and we were spared even a drop of rain.

At 4PM EST precisely, we fired the Victory Volley and read with respect, the names of the first fourteen men to die on April 19th, 1775. We ended the event with a reading of Patick Henry's most famous speech - "Liberty or Death". I know of no better way to spend a fine April weekend.

Many thanks to all who attended - students and instructors.
In Liberty.

Great shoot!  I couldn't believe how quickly the shooters' groups shrank on Saturday!  Good job by all, shooters and instructors alike!
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains." - Patrick Henry

The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

"In the prevailing political theory of the founding era, the family was considered one of the essential pillars of republican virtue, and it not only needed to be nurtured, but also protected from the tyranny of the government.... American revolutionaries and their descendants understood marriage and the family to be schools of republican virtue. -Mary Lyndon Shanley, Review Essay, 27 Law & Soc. Inq. 923,
