KNOW ye that the Appleseed Oversight Committee and the Instructional Standards and Advisory Committee have reposed special trust and confidence in the Patriotism, Commitment, and Professional Excellence of:

Chuck Williams

IN view of these characteristics and his demonstrated Leadership, he is therefore promoted to Master Instructor with all the privileges and responsibilities of that trusted office.

Effective, August 16th 2026.
 
Signed,
Jeff "Cleveland" Yeager
National Coordinator

Friends,

Chuck joined Appleseed in 2015 and became a standard bearer for the program.  He is a sterling leader and a gifted mentor, meeting Fred's definition of a Master Instructor: "Tough, strict, demanding."

GunJunkie's proven track record of success reflects great credit upon himself and Project Appleseed.

Chuck - thank you for taking up the mantle of Master Instructor as we advance our mission for Liberty.

Please join me in congratulating our newest MI!  Huzzah!   ^:)^

In Liberty,
MO

P.S.  It's worth noting the voting was unanimous!

We're in the Liberty business.  Stay on Mission & Stay on Message.

An incredible achievement.  Congratulations!  The bucket just got a lot bigger :)

"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

CONGRATULATIONS Sweetie!!  I can't think of anyone more deserving!!
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! Congratulations  O0
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leaders, and concerting measures in opposition to each other." ~John Adams 1780

Brave men fall with a battle cry
Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones, and their brothers in arms
And so it went for Joseph Warren
It should have been different, it could have been easy
His rank could've saved him, but a country unborn needs bravery
And it spread like wildfire

I always considered Chuck to be a master instructor. Glad he now has the hat to go with it. Congrats!
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837
