Okay Freepers, it is time to get a leg up on TIME and make your nominations for Free Republic's Man of The Year.

The criteria is simple: The one person who has had the most significant impact on the world at large, for better or for worse, during the past year.

Nominations for both men and women are acceptable.

The American Soldier.

You beat me to it.

But maybe we should split the prize: Dubya and The American Soldier.

After all, writer/historian Stephen Ambrose named The American Soldier
"Man of The Twentieth Century" (on a Dec. 31st, 1999 show).

[LurkerNoMore!]

Why DO they keep you here?

[Senator Pardek]

I have compromising photos.

Nomination - Free Republic - Men/Women of the year:

The Enlisted Men & Women ~ American Military!

Hands down, no if's, and's or but's.

Bravo Zulu to all of them!

[Little Ray]

Sandra Day O'Connor for her comment about respecting "international law" when she is supposed to be interpreting the Constitution, and for generally being a silly socialist fellow traveler.
Just one more Constitutionalist vote on the USSC, just one more...

[Kudsman]

May I nominate MeeknMing. From what I've seen in my stay here, he seems to be the keeper of the mother of all ping lists. It appears he is summoned to every thread of import in the News/activism forum. And usually has an entertaining reply.

In runner-up spot I would like to nominate Dan Hooker.

Thank you.

Tim.

[MeekOneGOP]

I am flattered, thanks ! Wow.

I nominate George W. Bush !! Who, btw, will be getting MY vote next November 2nd !!

[Chad Fairbanks]

I nominate me. If that's not allowed, however, I nominate all of the volunteers in our Armed Forces...

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I nominate me.

Amazing the stuff you find when you're just poking around on old threads. (I would have nominated you if you had just waited...now you look, well, kinda full of yourself. LOL)

[pax_et_bonum]

I nominate President Bush for Man of the Year and Mount Rushmore.

[geopyg]

"Sergeant First Class Paul Ray Smith. Posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for service above and beyond the call of duty in Iraq."

I read the article on Smith (posted long ago on FR) to my nine-year old son the other day. He wants to use it for a newspaper report on a current event. Not sure how current it is. Any idea when Smith was awarded the medal? (Google here I come!)

My Vote for Free Republic's Man of the year is Our Honorable President, President George W. Bush. Son of another Honorable President, President George Herbert Walker Bush, who served also as Vice President to another Honorable President, President Ronald Reagan.
