I know of no Freepers, but I am sure there had to be at least a few.

I live a few miles from NYC, and I can tell you that it has hit this area hard. My town and towns around me are sleeper communities for the City.

The Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains to NYC have three stops within a few miles apart right near us. One of these routes went directly to and underneath the World Trade Center. Passengers got off right there. Needless to say, thousands of people from my area worked in the Trade Center. EVERYONE I know either knows someone or knows of someone directly involved.....as a survivor or victim. A good friend of ours has worked in one of the Towers for over 20 years and is due to retire soon. She was not due in until 10am. She was on the train when it happened. That timing saved her life.

I am sure there are Freepers out there who witnessed this, were nearby or have a story. (Even though NYC has few Freepers per capita!)

I don't know, but I think a few FReepers might be casualties, especially in the Pentagon.

I'm in Allendale, and I know that at the train stations of this town and most every other town around here,like Ridgewood,the situation is the same: cars that no one came back to on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and today.

You don't necesarily need to haunt this board to be a "Freeper". There were many, if not all, given a second chance, who would be proud, or consider themselves "Freepers".

God bless the FR and Jim Rob...but the sentiments that are tapped, encourage and flourish here, speak to a much broader sentiment...They were all Freepers...my two cents
