Mr. Stephen P. Halbrook wrote the July 2025 cover article for the NRA publication "America's 1st Freedom," entitled "Gun Control Had a Lot to do With the Shot Heard 'Round the World."

I thought it was quite good and raised some interesting historical points, particularly regarding the Siege of Boston.  Some of those issues would probably be too political to raise at our events, but well worth our cadre knowing.

Also, there is a podcast interview of Mr. Halbrook at https://www.americas1stfreedom.org/content/stephen-halbrook-on-how-the-american-revolution-had-a-lot-to-do-with-gun-control/ on the subject as well.

I am acquainted with Mr. Halbrook and he is very aware of Project Appleseed and our program.

My father didn't serve in WWII.  It wasn't for lack of trying.  He attempted to enlist 3 separate times.  The last time the doctor said he was too short.  He responded that he signed up again because he said he saw a poster that was recruiting short men to be pilots.  The doctor said, "Short, yes.  But this is ridiculous."  In my book, he's still a hero.
