A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues;  salute
and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new
word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who
are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which
we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.  I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. The forum is read daily by tens of thousands
of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

ONE OF FR's FINEST

and

THE WINNER OF THE 2001 FREEPER OF THE YEAR AWARD

JEFF HEAD
Freeper Since 07-26-98

We are pleased to honor the Recipient of the 2001 Freeper of the Year Award, Jeff Head.

Jeff Head accepted this award at FRIVA in August 2002. He received this honor due to his involvement at Klamath Falls and as a result of his work with respect to several issues associated with 9-11 which is outlined at Attack on America It memorializes the horrific events of September 11, 2001.

Jeff Head lives in Southwest Idaho with his wife of over 24 years. He is the proud father of five and the grandfather of one. He is very active in his Church and is involved with the Boy Scouts of America, helping with rafting trips and winter camps.

Jeff Head has enjoyed a successful career as an engineer in the defense,, nuclear power and computer industries for over 23 years Since 1995, he has traveled extensively overseas, including visits to the Far East, India and portions of Eastern Europe, on behalf of U.S. firms.

Jeff Head is a patriotic activist extraodinaire. His American patriotic roots run deep and he is, in fact, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Jeff Head has been very involved in a number of activities including
Pledge of Allegiance Petitition
March for Liberty and 50 Million Round March (in response to the Million Mom March)
Modern Declaration of Liberty petition
Klamath Falls
WTC Flag Raising Petition
Jarbridge NV Shovel Brigade

If you are new to Free Republic, or did not follow the Stand at Klamath Falls, I strongly urge you to read the very well written and organized account of it. Here is the link again.

US FlagCode

Jeff Head has photographs of the U.S. flag displayed upside down on his Profile Page and Web Page. According to the U.S. Flag Code, "(a)The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property." So why does Jeff display the flag with the union down?

Here, in his own words, is the rationale:
"As a result of the unconstitutional acts, legislation and atrocities passed and/or committed by government agencies and officials against increaing numbers of US citizens and their life, liberty and property ... and as a result of policies that have allowed (and continue to allow) enemies of this nation to enter in large numbers through a porous immigration policy, I believe the life, liberty and property of US Citizens are in extreme and dire danger and distress."

As mentioned previously, Jeff Head is active in the Boy Scouts of America. Please visit the links below to read Jeff's excellent accounts of two major outings he went on with the Scouts. Included also are more beautiful photographs of the magnificent Idaho outdoors.

Varsity Scouting Float Trip...... "It was a marvelous scouting experience, filled with the camraderie of good, upright young men and beautiful scenery. The types of things that will always keep this nation strong."

Winter Camp....."The trip up to this Winter Camp is very beautiful and scenic. The pictures make it clear why some of us weather the cold and chose to be up here in this environment, truly a wonderful part of "God's country".

"Dragon's Fury Series"

"Dragon's Fury" is a series of five novels, written by Jeff Head, depicting how recent events leads the United States of America and the entire world into a Third World War. The books are a constitutional restoration project of Jeff Head, trying to educate and warn regarding current circumstances and where they might lead, and to send/project messages on how we can constitutionally combat them.

Dragon's Fury-Volume 1-Breath of Fire: This first novel is about the events leading up to and the horrific beginning of that war. As this Profile is being written, it has been Tops on Amazon's E-Book Mystery and Thriller List for five weeks- Aug 9th, 16th, 25th, 30th, Sep 10th

Jeff Head. I don't know what else I can add to what has been said about you. Except perhaps that little incident where I managed to get you booted from FreeRepublic. Of course I hurried and sent an explanation and plea to JimRob and got things resolved. . .

[Mama_Bear]

Congratulations! You are one of FR's Finest!

Enjoy your day in the spotlight!

[Billie]

He IS a winner, Julie, and his name was mentioned many times - I'm so glad to see him here - daisy's the one to thank for staying on top of things until she got this one written!

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Nan.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. Continue with the recovery so you can spend more time with us.
I have been busy for the last few days so I come here when I can. Usually early morning and again in the afternoon. I will try to catch up with my pings soon.

[Billie]

I didn't have a fish - isn't this the one you wanted? It's the bird I posted yesterday WITH the sun. :)

[dansangel]

You've got that right. I checked into the site you mentioned. Do I need anything more than the minimum?

[JustAmy]

Hi there, Bro!!

Us ducks need to eat too, so restock the lakes!! The enviro-nuts don't count the re-stocked fish when they make the decision whether something is endangered!

OOOPS ....... Better get off my soapbox! LOL

[Billie]

Thank YOU for those kind words! Thanks to a whole lotta help from good FRiends and 'blood sisters', daisyscarlett and Mama_Bear, as well as dansangel (who's been writing many of our profiles, too) and other guest writers, and the cheerleaders who are here every day, and not least of all the cooperation of the FReepers in the spotlight, who in turn bring THEIR FReeper buddies!

[JustAmy]

Hey Mixer ....

Thanks for adding me to the calendar. I went in to check my date and you had already taken care of it for me. Thank you for the calendar and for keeping it updated.

[Diver Dave]

Buddy thinks the news has been soooo depressing lately...

[LadyX]

(write all the secret things, eh?
Just so you don't mention MOJO to me!!
LOLOLOL)

[A_perfect_lady]

Saddam Hussein and his evil sons operate a network of torture chambers in which thousands of Iraqis are kept in small metal boxes, have their tongues cut, and get their hands mutilated with electric drills, according to a British intelligence report released yesterday.

I'm trying desperately to remember the name of the feminist who reported this years ago... was it Jan Goodwin?? Anyway, if even the feminists are aware of this, surely we can get enough consensus world wide to go after this guy.

[humblegunner]

Except perhaps that little incident where I managed to get you booted from FreeRepublic

What a pal! Remind me to stay on your good side.

[JustAmy]

Ditto

[Diver Dave]

Can you imagine the size of the Golden Retriever that would fit in this Radio Flyer?...

This is actually a "wagon" set up in Riverfront Park in Spokane, WA. There are stairs in the rear and the "tongue" is a slide for kids of all ages.
