10 Years on Free Republic! (Well, +2 days) (Vanity)
myself | 10/10/2009 | Pyro7480

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.
