Ohio AS,

Please join me in congratulating Shep on receiving his 50 Shoot pin this past weekend at our event in Piqua, Ohio.  Shep has been instrumental in building Piqua into one of our key locations for Appleseed and more importantly, his leadership on developing the Pistol Program in Ohio. 

We are all blessed to have Shep as a leader in Ohio Appleseed and I would like to take this moment to say a big "Thank you to Shep for stepping up!". 

Huzzah to a great Appleseeder.

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

Shep,

Just think about all the American lives you have touched and sparked the fire of liberty in their hearts.
Congratulations, and I am blessed to be part of your Piqua team.

Congratulations, Shep!  Thanks for the hard work! :F
In giving us dominion over the animal kingdom, God has signified His will that we subdue the beast within ourselves.
John Lancaster Spalding

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…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe

Thanks for all you do for the program
"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the
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."
~ Samuel Adams

Huzzah!
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

ACCEPT YOUR WOBBLE!

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."  Ronald Reagan

Huzzah!  Though I'm not from Ohio, I loved meeting Shep and hearing the sheep stories that related to Appleseed Instruction.  Congrats Shep on 50 events, hope to share the line with you again some day!
