We returned home very late last night; I just read this report. GREAT FREEP AND GREAT POSTS!
Thank you to all the freepers who demonstrate their patriotism by standing in the gap back at the home-front.
Thank you to all the troops who serve on the front lines. We appreciate your service, and the freedoms which your service is helping to maintain (including the freedoms of the peaceniks to protest everything you/we do and are!).
Personal thoughts on "patriotism": as a female, I wasn't allowed to serve (nor would I have wanted to, if truth be told) in the armed services when I was within the age range. But guess what: neither was Clara Barton, Rosie-the-riveter, etc. Does that mean that they weren't patriotic? NOT!!! One's patriotism (love of one's country) can be demonstrated in many ways. The men/women on the front lines put their bodies where their hearts are. The rest of us do what little we can on the home-front.
Thank you, military and all patriots. May God bless and protect America.

Prov, Zip, DogR, Bretmilk, Bahbah, KSCityBoy, Bogeyman, Mrs. Zip and the Ziplets & Wendel: Thank you for your participation on these threads! These discussions really bring out a lot of view points and is informative to follow. Also, your dedication to the FReep cause is one of the reasons attending these FReeps is so satisfying. Proud to stand with you all!
To All and I really hope I didn't miss anyone: It is the one day a week we can all get together with a sane group and make a small difference. Thank you for your participation in making Operation Infinite FReep a success! It seems they are now coast to coast
This thread is now dedicated to all our service members- active, retired, or disabled. May this thread with all the various responses, opinions, gratefulness, anger, tributes, trials, and happiness remind everyone of last week's special dates-The Air Force Birthday, and POW/MIA rememberance and what they are fighting, or have fought for. Let them see FRee Republic in action. May it counter the peaceniks' protests and their anti-military sway!
God bless our troops.

It's the love you have in your heart for your Country and it's ideals that determines whether you're a patriot.Absolutely! And I have to agree with you too Sam that there are many ways to show your love for our country and your patriotism. I happen to think the work Snow Bunny and you and I and so many others do at the USO Canteen FReeper Style is patriotism in action, just as the awesome Missouri FReepers and other groups show theirs by taking a stand against the peaceniks. It's not the method that is used - it's the motivation behind it, in my opinion, that determines whether one is a patriot or not.

"Whatever they're Against this week - I'm for!" LOL!!!! BUMP for the "show me" Missouri FReepers!!! I love it! For victory & freedom!!!
To: JustAmy
Missouri just gets better every week!
THANKS!
I just missed 2 weeks of FReping due to high country big game hunting. It gave me a great chance to collect my thoughts and see first hand the damage the enviro-wacko's have done to our forests. The mountains I hunt are absolutely choked with overgrown timber and deadfalls. One match and it's toast. If we can't get any sensible logging done I'm afraid this special place will be destroyed.
I hunted with a Viet Nam Vet and we had some meaningfull discussions and reflections. I enjoy being with, and talking to our veterans. It gives me an historical perspective that needs to be learned and passed down.
As for the "peace-niks". They are truly SADDAMS'S USEFUL IDIOTS. I tolerate them because they are American's (I think), and they do have the right to stand out there. BUT, SO DO I!! I intend to outclass them at every FReep and to have more fun than they do. They can see me having fun and it bugs them. I may once again go over to the S.W. Corner and have my own FReep so as to not embarrass the vets having the Support Our Troops rally. I may even wipe my huntin' boots on the U.N. flag a little, I KNOW that bugs them.
To anyone not used to my posts, I FReep in Fort Collins, CO with my VFW buddies and fellow FReepers. This Operation Infinite FReep just keeps growing and growing every week, Cool!!
84 posts on this thread already and lots of new people getting involved. The power of the internet is awesome.
All the Best!

Hello there.
We have missed your Colorado FReep reports.
If the enviro-nuts don't do something about getting the logging industry back to work, Colorado will be in the same boat as California and Oregon. They want you to believe it's the drought but the real problem is the fuel that is being left for next time.
Deer season opened this past week-end in California; I'm not sure when we will see my brother again. LOL How'd you do?

I'm not near enough to go to this tonight, but hope I've pinged some of the right people. I just heard that Ann Coulter is speaking on the Mizzou campus tonight, and it seems to be open to the public, if any of you are interested.
Thought I'd pass it along to some Columbia area freepers, hope I got enough of you to get the message out if you haven't heard yet. And I wish I could go!

No man in his right mind wouldn't be. : )
I'm a little over a hundred miles away, but she'd be worth the drive for sure!
You Missouri FReepers do a wonderful job. God bless!
To: ST.LOUIE1
No man in his right mind wouldn't be. : )So true! I don't know what time it's supposed to be held, but could be found out by calling the MU switchboard, most likely. Wish I could be there!
To: texasbluebell; ST.LOUIE1; JustAmy
Just took a break for lunch and found your posts ref: Ann Coulter. THANKS a ton. I've posted it at our Locale for fastest and bestest exposure!
PS. Amy, Happy Peacenik FReeping. You're a doll for all of your assistance!
Lunch Over

Hope Annie doesn't get booed too much--a lot of those kids there are very liberal at MU. But Ann can take it, she's tough.
Just not sure what time her talk is, so you'll have to do some scouting to find out.
To: texasbluebell
Wish I could be there!It would be great, but I can't make it. : (
To: ST.LOUIE1; JustAmy
Here is the obligatory post of Ann. Ann, if you lurk. go get them tonight at MU!

Oh by the way, Thanks for the new sign idea:
"PUT THE LOGGING INDUSTRY BACK TO WORK". HA!
Or how about:"LOGGING GOOD, FIRE BAD".
The reaction from their simple brains should be amusing!
All the best!
