Title: Winners of the Memorial to Independence giveaway, and what it means.
Post by: armoredman on July 04, 2016, 01:21:08 PM: Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for our National Anthem.

Thank you, be seated.

On this date in 1776 the fledgling Continental Congress approved the final wording on the Declaration of Independence before the famous signatures were added. This new experiment, this raw new country that hadn't even formed an army or navy yet, this group of farmers, businessmen, traders, builders and silversmiths who had had enough of taxation without representation, of a government far across the sea determining what they may do with their daily lives, families, homes and what they believed to be core fundamental rights granted from Above. These brave men who signed this document, who pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor, meant every word. 56 names are on that document, and of those men, it is said that 14 died in the war, several lost everything they owned, several lost family members, but they stood to what they pledged!! To put it in perspective, let us listen to a great American screen legend speak about a Pledge we all know well.

Ladies and gentlemen, the immortal John Wayne.

If THAT didn't leave you a little misty, immediately check in to the nearest hospital - your heart stopped.

So today we celebrate the birth of a new nation, a nation unlike any seen ever before, a nation that would rise to the status of the worlds' last and best superpower. Even though we've stumbled, drifted and had some "less than stellar" leaders, we still have drive, purpose and that document of laws that lay out how things work, the Constitution of the United States of America.

But it all started in Philadelphia in 1776, and the members of a small but stalwart hearted Continental Congress. And that is what we celebrate today.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, the winners of the 2016 Original CZ Forum Memorial to Independence Day Giveaway!

The Grand Prize Winner of a brand new CZ P-09 Urban Grey suppressor ready sidearm is...

Doncha hate suspense??? ;D

The Grand Prize Winner of a brand new CZ P-09 Urban Grey suppressor ready sidearm is... hensc!!!!

O...M...G... I was literally shaking when I saw this and had to take a lunch walk to calm myself down. When I came back I refreshed this page like 5 times to make sure I was not dreaming! :o

Wow... just wow. As always, big thanks to Mr. and Mrs. A as well as all the moderators for providing such friendly and resourceful environment. I have learned much since joining the CZ family in 2013. Also big thanks to all those who served or are still serving to secure our freedom.

Here she is! Thanks again to Mr. and Mrs. A, and CZ-USA for hooking me up. I'll try to find time to hit the range in the midst of buying a new house, a new car, and getting ready for TWO new babies in late November.

Life is crazy (good) lately but we have so much to thank for!!

Range report to follow... No excuse there
