Amendment ll, to the Constitution of the United States of America: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

        WE THE PEOPLE of the United States are the American Militia

                            We are the ultimate first responders

            We confront the criminal, the weather event, the catastrophe 

                 We as law abiding citizens own the Arms to save lives

                While waiting for needed, professional first responders

                    We as American Militia may assist our professional

                          Law Enforcement Officers who confront

                                     The challenges to life 

                                          With their lives 

                                            For our lives

                    We are eternally grateful and indebted to them:

                                            OUR HEROS
