Fall
Banquet 2006 - October 9, 2006
 Featuring
Larry Pratt
The Restoring Our Heritage
Fall Banquet 2006 themed "In the Defense of Liberty"
featured Gun Owners of America's Executive Director Larry
Pratt as the keynote speaker. More than 200 attended at First
Christian Church in Newburgh, Indiana. Doors opened at 5:00
pm, a VIP Reception with Pratt was held at 5:30 pm and the
banquet dinner began at 6:30 pm.
Pratt discussed the importance of firearms to the Founding
Fathers in their fight against the British. Throughout the
United States, there are many stories of firearms being the
best security for people, as Pratt addressed, notwithstanding
the fact that they are critical for people to be free from
government tyranny. He also discussed Gun Owners of America's
efforts in bringing attention to the police force in New Orleans
confiscating firearms in the aftermath of Katrina. A federal
law prohibited such action in the future due Congressmen and
Senators learning of the travesty through GOA efforts.
An award was presented to Jim Tomes and to the 2nd Amendment
Patriots for their success in lobbying the government of Indiana
to ultimately pass a "Lifetime Carry Permit" for
firearms. Governor Mitch Daniels proudly signed the first
permit of its kind in the country and we were proud to honor
the hard work of Tomes and the Patriots. |

and the dinner began at 6:30 pm.
for a keynote address where Gibbs related
his experience with the fight for Terri Schiavo to the status
of our culture in the United States today. Gibbs
spent an incredible amount of time and effort to defend the
interest of the family of Terri Schiavo and what most believed
was the interest of Terri herself. Many
in the audience were touched emotionally by the detailed explanation
of the peril of Terri Schiavo.
Gibbs also explained legally the importance of protecting
life as our Founding Fathers specifically did in the Declaration
of Independence and the Constitution. He warned that the precedent
set by Terri Schiavo's death by dehydration and starvation
might lead to a further disrespect for life around the nation.

Our Heritage is grateful to have been the benefactor of
the WVHI, 1st Annual Charity Golf Scramble, which took
place on Monday, June 18, 2001. Over one hundred golfers

out in support of ROH, food was provided by Anna Lee Wilson
and the TLC Restaurant, and Bob Bulkley and Expressway

Spring
2001 Event - April 20 - 21, 2001
 Featuring
Rev. Peter Marshall
The
first ever Restoring Our Heritage event took place on the
weekend of April 20 in Evansville, Indiana. Our keynote
speaker was Reverend Peter Marshall, who inspired and challenged
those attending. With co-author David Manuel, Rev. Marshall
wrote three widely-popular books on America's Christian
heritage: The Light and the Glory, From Sea to
Shining Sea, and Sounding Forth the Trumpet.
More than 1,000 attended the 7:00 pm Friday night session,
nearly 350 people were present on Saturday's 3:00 pm session.
Rev. Marshall shared many fascinating stories, references,
quotes, and more from the early American period. The Founding
Fathers were clearly more concerned about Christianity than
many people today understand. In fact, many commented positively
afterward that they "had never heard this before"
but were excited to learn the truth.
U.S. Congressman John Hostettler, from Indiana's 8th Congressional
District, was present and spoke briefly, mentioning that
Rev. Marshall was actually responsible for his run for public
office. Evansville Mayor Russell Lloyd and his wife, Theresa,
attended as well, and the Mayor was gracious enough to present
Rev. Marshall with a key to the City of Evansville.
