VA Freeper Militiaman 7 passed away

[Gopher Broke]

I am sad to report that Freeper Militiaman7 passed away this morning from cancer.

He loved FreeRepublic and was a local leader of FREEPS in the Roanoke, VA area. He had a FreeRepublic Banner he brought to all our Freeps.

He was a disabled veteran who served his country. We will miss his quick sense of humor and his love for America and FreeRepublic.

I have no further information at this time.

Oh, how sad to hear this news.

May GOD Bless and Welcome my FReeper friend Militiaman7 into Heaven, for now he can see His Savior Face to Face and sit at HIS feet, no more pain and suffering.

Militiaman7 is rejoicing with the Heavenly Hosts singing Praises to The KING Of GLORY.

Prayers for his Family and FRiends.

Very sorry to hear, but I'm sure he will freep on from above. Heartfelt sympathy to his family and all who knew him.

Rest lightly, sir. Best to the family.

Heavenly Father, it is with tear-stained hearts that we thank You for the love and friendship that Militiaman7 has given to so many in his FReeper family ... thank You that this will remain beyond his physical presence. We mourn the passing of this patriot, O God, and ask that Your abundant mercy and comfort will fall mightily upon his family and friends, for great is their grief. Grant journey mercies to his son as he travels from Afghanistan ... sustain him for he comes to say goodbye. Thank You that this parting is but brief, for beyond lies eternity, yet the pain of loss is overwhelming. May the Comfort of the Holy Spirit surround each one in the days ahead, in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...

Except for a few Philadelphia area freepers I met on a now infamous occasion to some of us, Militia man was the first Freeper I met outside the Philly area.

It was on the way to the March for Justice that I encountered him. He was in a wheelchair at the time and had a flag in his hand and I stopped him to ask directions having guessed rightly that he was coming from the protest. He was such an energetic, hospitable, and enthusiastic patriot he left an indelible impression. Our chance meeting was so pleasant a surprise, that after wards my anticipation for the event soared. My companion and I were like children; we just couldn't wait to get there.

It is six years later and we still remember and have thought about him many times since.

I couldn't be sorrier about his passing and will remember him in prayer for awhile to come. God Bless his son Jonathan, who is serving in Afghanistan. It will be all the harder now that his beloved father has gone. We will pray for him also and all those militiaman left behind as well.

Sad news at the holidays.

Ligeia was kind enough to post a link to this August 2004 After-Action Report involving Militiaman7, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1196502/posts, but I don't know if you had the chance to attend or to meet Militiaman7.

Hope to see you at the Inaugural Parade and Ball

God's special peace to your family and friends.

My condolences.

This is very sad news indeed, Militiaman7 was the very first FReeper I met when I joined him and his son and two of his son's friends at a Bill Clinton fundraiser at Patricia Kluge's estate in central Virginia back in '99 or '00. We posted up just outside the grand entrace to her estate and were such a nuisance that they ended up detouring most of the guests in through a back entrance just to avoid seeing us...LOL!! Dave had the patriotic tunes cranking from his son's boombox and portable lighting for after the sun went down. When Slick Willie's helicopter came flying by, we defiantly spotlighted the banner I had painted that read, "Slick Willie, RESIGN NOW...or else!!" A grand time was had by all, including the Secret Service folks assigned to monitor us!!

Dave was a stalwart FReeper, prepared to do whatever it took to stand up to the injustices of the Clinton Administration, and I was honored to FReep by his side a number of times in DeeCee as well. He will be sorely missed!!

Sad FReegards...MUD

Lord, I never met this man, but his postings have awakened me to many realities for the common good of our nation! For this I am deeply humbled! Keep this man of good spirits and let him help someone here on earth in spirit and faith! Amen Grassontop
