A year ago I was getting redder and redder in the face about Klamath and when my friends called on July 12th ... I had to go. The results are all documented on the Stand at Klamath Falls Site. One day I will write a book about it.
That took me through August and I was writing on the first book in the Dragon's Fury series in the evenings a lot while there.
Then there was 9-11 and I created my memorial site for that which I put up on the net as the "Attack on America Memorial Site".
As this was going on, I finished the first book in my series, Dragon's Fury - Breath of Fire" spurred on by the horrific events (which I had to account for)and self published it in November.
In January came the unbelievable word on the WTC Flag Raising monument they unveiled in NYC and I was just SO frustrated that I had to write that WTC Flag Raising Petition and post it ... it took on its own life from there and here on FR with SO many supporters.
That lasted several months with heavy involvement, until April. In May, I had to go to work down in Texas to replenish the coffers and try and keep bread on the table for my wife and kids ... but then there in June, right after coming home for Father's Day, my birthday and to prepare for my daughter's July 2nd wedding ... came the unbelievable word of the 9th Circuit ruling declaring the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional! More red in the face and the writing of another Petition to protest the ruling and get it set aside.
In the mean time, and through it all, Volume II of my series, Dragon's Fury - Trodden Under was being written with the help of many FReepers (they are mentioned in the acknowledgements but include Joanie-f, Dukie, bootless, harpseal, Travis McGee, sneakypete and several others.) I just finished the draft and the last two chapters are being edited now so I can get it released by the middle of the month.
It's been a hectic, sometimes risky, but awe inspiring year. I am so grateful to have been involved in so many events ... and SO grateful to a merciful God for helping me through them and leading me to SO many patriotic friends in the process. Especially here on FR ... this site, despite the many disagreements, issues and disruptions ... is THE gathering place for grass roots activism in support of our Republic on the internet. It's been a God send and made a HUGE difference on getting the word out.
... well ... there I've gone and done it. I guess that's it in a nutshell.
