Ohio AS,

Please join me in congratulating TexasT (Tom) on earning his 50 shoot pin at our event this past weekend at Vienna, Ohio.  Tom came to his first Appleseed five years ago at Coshocton, Ohio along with his lovely wife.  He shot Rifleman at his first event, took a Blue Hat, switched it to an Orange Hat, and became a Shoot Boss very quickly. 

It was my honor to join Tom at Vienna this past weekend for the purpose of awarding his 50 Shoot pin.  I am personally blessed to have met him and his wife through Appleseed and was pleased that I had the honor of awarding his 50 shoot pin. 

Huzzah and keep bailing.

Be bold, brave and forthright and the bold, the brave and the forthright will gather around you!

"The most natural and eligible mode of attack on the part of the people is that of detached parties of bushmen who from their adroitness in the habitual use of the firelock suppose themselves sure of their mark at a distance of 200 [yards]." - Thomas Gage, March 4th, 1775

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption
of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the
Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - Daniel Webster

"When all connection, upheld by commerce, with the mother country, shall cease, it may be suspected that an independency of her government will soon follow." - Thomas Gage

Congrats Tom!! O0 Well deserved.

I was New Philly when you switched from a Blue hat to an Orange hat - Seems like it was just yesterday!

whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they
lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"

Huzzah!!!!

It is a pleasure and an honor to work with you!
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

Huzzah!  This really is a milestone.  Yes, it's "just a pin".  But the software that sits under the pin has shown that, through thick and thin, feast and famine, that they keep to the mission.

IOW...that's no sunshine patriot!
