Happy Patriots Day

 
 
 
I would like to take the opportunity on this auspicious day to thank everyone for their support they have given me in the past few days.  I could not begin to appropriately express my gratitude for the incredible outpouring of support that I have received since the "Change of Command" post.  It has been both overwhelming and humbling.  I feel the weight more than ever to continue to support this community by producing quality content. 
 
 
I have always seen this blog as a platform to better inform and educate, and by extension make better people.  To that end, I would love to hear what you would like to see in the blog and how I can better serve this community.

More praxis, less politics. David covers the garbage from DC fairly well. I appreciated the practical stuff your Dad posted more than anything else. It's what will get us through the times we're facing. You're doing a great job. Thank you.

MadMagyar,

Absolutely agreed and thank you so much for the comment. I think you will not be disappointed in what I have in mind for future posts.

Matthew,
I've been reading "Patriot" sites for an hour this morning and you are the first to mention that it's Patriots Day. I was thinking last night what I could do today to honor those brave souls in Lexington and Concord on that fateful day. (Any thoughts?)
I am truly looking forward to the "Shot heard around the world" part II. Coming soon.

4/19/'75 They were the original III%.

Thanks for taking over here Matthew. I really have enjoyed your posts and I crave the practical aspects of preparation, planning and practice.

I pray for Mike, that he be comfortable and at peace.

Follow your instincts. This being the internet, there will be no shortage of feedback. Some of the feedback might be worth considering, but you develop a sense of who provides useful comments and who does not in a very short time.

Practical links to practical organizations - like Project Appleseed, along with an explanation of why the link suggestion should be valued by persons coming into the III movement. It's OK to recycle some content Mike posted when it is still applicable, since there are a lot of newer members that didn't see it the first time through.

Today is also the anniversary of the OKC bombing. I remember speaking with your dad about this event and how intense his was about this subject.

You coming from the military, please remember we are not all young studs. I am much closer to your father's situation than most (heart disease). I still want to play a part in this mess. Can't do much as a young stud, but pennies make nickels....Nutty Old Geezer

I just appreciate that the III% is still putting tyranny on notice that free men stand ready to fight for what is right.

Nutty old geezer: oo-rah. Expect to find me manning the radio or moving supplies. Low-speed, high-drag here.

Hey your Dad, The Good Lord bless him, if he taught me one thing, that is we are all in this together, this thing called Liberty. I truly appreciate you for carrying on the legacy he created. It is a great thing to read your words and insights, about your experience and knowledge. Liberty is a dangerous thing, it deserves all the respect we can give it. I see that in you and respect you and your efforts. I can kind of sense your Dad looking over your shoulder, and that is a really nice thing. I'm sure he is proud.
Keep up the great work!

Hi,quick note for you.. Your father was inspirational and entertaining, from what you posted so far it's like a more modern version that is very relatable to my age... you have a segment of audience in the thirties crowd too.

Someone else already said it, but don't burn out, family first. :)

Also, you have international reach, you are popular up here in Canada with pro gunners and patriots. We are smaller in number, but have the same goals of being governed but not ruled.

Best wishes for a safe and happy experience.

I would appreciate hearing you talk about the very basics of multiple man teams. I am embarrassed to say I have no military experience at all, but I have collected a decent amount of gear and ammunition. At this point, if things go very bad, I fear my best contribution would be to give my things to someone who knows how to use them properly. I would much prefer to be able to do the fighting myself, if that's what it comes to. Can you write some posts talking about what each person is supposed to do so that I can try and train in a way that could be helpful if I find myself in that position?

How about reposts of the old Praxis posts with your commentary on them?

I would like to see more about the networking involved with the killer red tomatoes, red through and through. I am very much interested in the tactics used, the money behind their activities as well as the end game.

I was able to go to the Concord Bridge on Patriot Day 1971. I had finished Army Basic Training and was at Fort Devens, Mass to learn to be a Cryptanalyst (98B20) for the US Army Security Agency. They loaded a bunch of us in Army Deuce & a Half trucks to get to Concord and got to learn a bit of American history right where it started. Made some good friends while there long ago and many of them stayed with the various agencies (NS., FB. CI. etc) but I got the heck out and became a NORMAL civilian who does believe in being prepared. I can teach a class in codes and communications if the need ever arises.

I wager that most people here know this, but I always tell internet buying virgins "Read the good reviews, but LISTEN to the bad reviews"

This simple axiom has saved me $$$ on countless occasions.
