Congratulations to Warriorpoet.  What a great weekend.  All of that hard work you put into honing your instructional craft was very evident this weekend.  You made our instruction look easy.  It is an honor to be the one that presented you with the coveted Red Hat.
Dr. Joseph Warren, in his last letter to his mother, "Where danger is, dear mother, there must your son be... I will set [America] free or die".

Our cause is just . . . our country will be grateful - George Rogers Clark

"This country has been made by the Timothy Murphys, the men in the ranks. Conditions here called for qualities of heart and hand that Tim Murphy had in abundance. Our histories should tell us more about the men in the ranks, for it was to them, more than to the generals that we were indebted for our military victories." -  Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as New York Governor, 1929, at the dedication of the memorial to Murphy

Congrats!  :beer:
The difference between a novice and a master: the novice does it until they get it right. The master does it until they can't get it wrong.

"Warriorpoet," eh?  I like that. There's a rather famous Irish folk song about a warrior poet. 

Land of Song" cried the warrior bard
"Tho' all the world betrays thee
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard
One faithful harp shall praise thee

But I digress. Congratulations and THANKS for stepping up! 
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003
