Thanks for everything you did for our country! I am really becoming involved in educating my child to keep this legacy going. I've purchased Mr Parkers books and you are quoted quite frequently. Can you tell me if there are any poems, songs etc. that might come to mind from way back then? I know the Royal Rifle motto is "Volens et Valens" but I also read something about "Peace en Paratus" maybe this was the Queens?? Anything would be appreciated!! My warmest regards!! Melissa M.
