I just let an anniversary go by unnoticed. I became a member of Free Republic on November 8, 1999. At that point in my life, I was a sophomore in college. Now, I'm a youngish professional with more than my fair share of grey hair already, and less than 8 months from reaching the "big" three-zero birthday.
First, I want to thank Jim Robinson and all those who maintain this wonderfully addictive website. I get most of my news off of here. It is such a clearinghouse for what's going on in there world
But more than that, it's a place where conservatives of many stripes to come and communicate in an online community.
Since that time, we've been through the 2000 election contest, 9/11, two wars, the deaths of a historic pope who helped bring down Soviet communism and the great President Reagan, and the election of the most left-wing president in our history.
I partially credit my conversations on FR's Religion Forum with helping me become more serious in my Catholic faith. I've met a lot of great Catholics on here. Thank you for your contributions, and for standing up for our faith.
I don't want to make this too long, but I hope Free Republic is still around ten years from now, and that our deep pride in our country, which is more than apparent, will help preserve it for future generations.

Welcome to FreeRepublic.
Just had to say it!
Let's all give a big thank you to Jim R. This forum is what has kept me sane/anger in check from the impeachment until the current obamahorror.
God grant us many more years!

Congratulations, old timer! And thanks for reminding me to look at my own sign-up date. Uh...this newfangled electronic thingy sure beats the smoke signals. It used to take a whole tree to post a Helen Thomas graphic...
