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.

Well, I don't know how deserved they are, there are many, many who are in my estimation much more deserving. May God continue to bless all those who stand for true liberty ... I know He will.

[Jeff Head]

Last year I was at my county fair gathering signatures for the Klamath farmers

God bless you for that and for any effort on behalf of the truth and liberty. I know the efforts of hundreds ... perhaps thousands just like you helped make the difference there ... all of us pulling together. It wells up my eyes just thinking on it.

[Jeff Head]

May you have a wonderful day too ... and may they dtring together your life long.

Thanks for the kind words ... they are too kind ... I just try and help when I can and as I am moved in my heart to do so. May we all listen to the voice from within, to Him who would guide us and Who is the Author of our Liberty.

FR has been a blessing indeed to this Republic to allow so many to gather, reason together (at least sometimes LOL!) and to become involved in the animated contest for liberty that Sam Adams spoke of.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Jeff reminds me of a young Rummy. (^:

[Jeff Head]

Thanks Ute ... volume numer three is in the works. Please let me know what you think about it.

I really intend for it to be a Constitutional Restoration project ... one to get people thinking and rolling things over in their mind.

God bless.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks for the salute ... returned in kind with a good afternoon to you.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you!

[Jeff Head]

Thank you!

[knighthawk]

Freeper of the Year 2001! Keep up the fight!

[Feiny]

HI Jeff! It is always a pleasure to read your posts. You have done so much pro 2A work and I admire you.

Billie, thanks for profiling Jeff....it reminded me that I need to buy his books!

[Jeff Head]

Thank you. I just happened to have been thrust into a position a couple of times to take advantage of the great resource Jim has provided here in FR, and to use it in the way I believe most representative of those goals that he has proclaimed and that have brought us all to FR.

I pray all of us have many of those opportunities. Despite the risks and whatever travail ... the prize of liberty and a return to the principles that embody our Constitutional Republic are more than worth it all.

[Jeff Head]

This place and so many people here who are rising to the challenge regarding our freedoms, rights ond Constitution do us all proud!

[Jeff Head]

But I am grateful for (not necessarily in this order) my job, a roof over my head, my wonderful husband, the awesome country that we live in, my FRiends at Free Republic and for God who guides and watches over me.

... and that statement of gratitude embodies, IMHO, the things our nation and its liberty, by the grace of God, have made possible for so many millions. Best FRegards!

[Feiny]

Fabulous job today, daisy! I hope you are enjoying your trip.

[GailA]

Rocky is doing fine, sleeping all night, eating well, all teeth, doing well on potty training too.

[Jeff Head]

... and by the Grace of God, the WATER FLOWS!

Thanks for your efforts and encouragement during those weeks last summer. It took every one of us pulling together and I will never forget the way this community on FR, by and large, pulled together and DID SOMETHING to help. <p. God bless you and yours.

[Jeff Head]

Will talk to the better half bro. She probably did. I am down in Tejas again helping out with my brother.

[Feiny]

O.K. you two....don't make me bring out the big guns!

[Jeff Head]

It is amazing how that PETITION just keeps on growing, even now, nine months later.

I just penned a few words and it took off from there on its own like wildfire. I will never forget that, or the sentiments expressed by so many tens of thousands in their comments there. Gives one the greatest hope and confidence.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks ... I am literally burning the midnight oil!

Best Fregards!
