Twenty-four years ago today, I “officially” became a FReeper. I had attended the March for Justice on October 31, 1998, and that event convinced me the FRee Republic was the “right” place to “hang out.”
Having “lurked” for a few months prior to the March for Justice, I was delighted to meet so many like-minded people, all of whom came to WDC on their own nickel, to exercise their First Amendment Rights and protest the Clinton administration. March for Justice video
It was the first of many “FReeps” I attended in the WDC area (and elsewhere over the years) before I had to move to Florida in 2004 to attend to my late mother.
In the period of time I was in WDC, the WDC FRee Republic Chapter was VERY actively protesting against Bill Clinton and the LIEberal scumbags who were (and still are!) intent on overthrowing our Constitutional Republic. Our FRiday night “We Support Our Troops” Walter Reed Army Medical Center FReeps are most memorable. Scroll down to the DC Chapter “DC Chapter AAR – WRAMC DOG DAYS OF SUMMER ARRIVE” thread.
Once “hooked” on the AAR, you will find many more interesting threads about FReeper activities down stream FRom that one.
I am posting this "vanity" to thank all of you with whom I have interacted with over these past 24 years who have had a positive influence on my life via FRee Republic. Since I would invariably leave out someone (there are WAAAAY too many to name), I'll just say "Thank you FReepers!" Our FRiday night “We Support Our Troops” Walter Reed Army Medical Center FReeps are most memorable
Finally, thank you JimRob, and your family for providing this forum and allowing us to discuss the important matters of our time!
May OUR FRee Republic continue to flourish!
Eagles Up!
Congrats! I’m just a year behind you.
We class of '98 are a special breed. We're part of the original 'social media' with the start of FreeRepublic.Com
And of course, that means anytime we see a fellow class of '98 that has a later join date than our own we have to call them noob!
Glad you're still around, not many of us left.
Perhaps a “Class of ‘98” Freeper with some time on his/her hands could start a “Class of ‘98” thread.
My 24 year thread drew quite a few of us out.
PS Glad to still be around!
Hang in there!
You will be 24 next year!
Newbie!
If only!
Think Positive!
Yet another of the “Class of ‘98” checking in with the “Newbie” callout!
I love it!
