Thread III
Last night, Herb Meadows' life was abruptly taken by an unexpected fire in his home.
We are blessed with our association with Herb Meadows as our Internet Campaign Manager and friend. Herb blessed the lives of everyone he touched as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, political activist, and United States Marine.
Herb was part of something much bigger than most of us ever get an opportunity to experience.
Herb Meadows embodied the passion and the commitment that has made America great. We have all suffered a loss by his passing, and yet we were fortunate to be blessed by his passion and commitment. In his work, he brought hope for change and inspired us to make a difference for our country.
At Americans for Fair Taxation, it was our privilege briefly to glimpse the love for our country and the commitment to excellence thatcharacterize Herb. Our gratitude for that experience cannot be expressed in words.
We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, Herb, for the passion, the courage, and the principle, that you exhibited, not just on a daily basis, but on a continuing, moment-to-moment basis.
It is this passion and dedication that will inspire us in the future.
It is the model of your tenacity that will help us in moments when self-doubt threatens to overcome our commitment.
Thank you, Herb, and may we honor you by continuing your work in making the river of myriad voices seeking fundamental improvement in our country flow swifter and faster than even you dreamed possible.
Thank you for touching our lives in a most extraordinary way.

My heart goes out to the family & friends of CHIEF Negotiator.
In the words of Ronald Reagan:"Some people live an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. Marines don't have that problem."
God Bless

Thanks for that link, Manny. I loved what he said:
"When I reach Heaven, I hope God has instant replay, so I can experience the reunion Mom and Dad had this morning."

This is a sad loss. One of those familiar names you could always appreciate. "Someone needs to update the "Free Republic Memorial Wall" on the home page." That is up to JR now since it is hosted on FR. There have been several other requests made on behalf of departed freepers. All have gone unheeded. Peace be with you Chief.

Well done thou good and faithful servant.
Now enter into the house of thy Lord.
I was so glad to have known Chief N. He was one of the first regular freepers to freepmail me when we all came from Lcom and he learned I am a Marine ( ret). I never deleted his freepmail.....
We are sure going to miss you, Chief!
Semper Fi!
To: BADJOE
Battalion Chief Moran A FReeper on this thread should be able to give you the information on BCM you are looking for.
