Good morning, everyone!

After gathering wise counsel from the SouthEastern State Coordinators and a rigorous selection process, I'm excited to announce that Cleveland (Jeff Yeager) has been selected as our SouthEast Regional Coordinator!  For those of you who haven't yet met Jeff, he's an instructor's Instructor and I'm confident he'll be great in the role.

Of course, with such a welcome comes a farewell.  Ramblin' Wreck, my friend and mentor since the very day I took an orange hat, has been instrumental in the success of the SouthEast Region for 3 years as RC and many years before that.  His energy, enthusiasm, and contributions have rarely been matched in the history of the program.  Ramblin' Wreck is stepping aside to focus exclusively on Master Instructor duties.  (I suspect we'll see many more KDs on the schedule with all that spare time on his hands!   **) )

Ben, thank you for your energetic and contagious leadership and years of good counsel to the State Coordinators in your region.

Please join me in thanking both gentlemen for their leadership and service above and beyond the firing line!

May Liberty Increase!

"5 minutes for this stage - that's like a week in people years!"

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."
― Hyman G. Rickover

Congratulations Cleveland.  O0 :beer:

"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

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…"
