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.

Thank you ... every effort takes us all pulling together. I have been humbled to be in a position to call attention a couple of times ... but it is humbling to see carrying people from all over this nation and beyond standing and making a difference.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you ... and thank you for the encouragement and support on so many issues and threads.

That support and the involvement of so many is what makes the difference. It's a good and humbling thing to see and experience.

[Jeff Head]

Oh my goodness ... thank you for the sentiments and the kind words. There are many much more deserving.

I really just try and help where I can and where my heart directs. So many here on FR and throughout this nation are doing the same. I wish they all could get the attention and acclaim they deserve. A couple of times my efforts just put me in a position to make good use of this marvelous tool JR has created and other tools like JJ's SeirraTimes.

God bless.

[Jeff Head]

Ahhh ... so this is the handle you have.

I have looked for you and lost your email and site. Great to make conections again. I'll send some FRemail.

That incident, like many here on FR, is simply a part of the animated contest for liberty as played out in this small but groing part of the vineyard.

Best regards.

[Jeff Head]

What a wonderful cyber-card. Thank you for the kind words and sentiments, they are too kind but much appreciated just the same.

You've been in our prayers every night. Hope all is well ... and thanks again for those unbelievable, and all too kind words.

I'm down here in Tejas now, helping my brother through his travail as best I can.

[Askel5]

I just happened to have been thrust into a position

By a most admirable spirit, conscientious heart and true vigilance for the liberties we are losing.

You've been an example -- and hope -- for many.

Thanks again.

[Jeff Head]

Kevlar won't help against the M-1 he's holdin.

Here's a good short read for you ...

THE LAST NIGHT OF RAMADAN

[Jeff Head]

May we all keep up the fight ... may it fill our lives with resolve and wonder as we see the Hand of Providence played out in the activities we are involved with.

[Pippin]

Thanks!

[Jeff Head]

Keep shooting. Stay safe ... stay armed. Hope folks are still folloing through on The 50 Million Round March at Thanksgiving. I know we will.

Hope you enjoy the book series. Let me know what you think. I know you will love how the 2nd Amendment plays in.

[MeekOneGOP]

Spotlights mess up my night vision. I prefer to stand watch in the shadows if I can ... or right out in broad daylight if I must.

I understand. But, still.....since this is your day in the spotlight.....

.......Jeff Head

[Jeff Head]

Whew! ... took an hour and a half, but got it done.

Have to bow out now for a while. Be back this evening.

Thanks again for the thread and to daisyscarlett for the very kind words.

[knighthawk]

Proud to stand with the people who lead the fight for freedom.

[Pippin]

Hi, Meekie!

Wow! More activity in here tonight!

Last noght at this time there were only a few of us posting.

[Pippin]

hi, Knighthawk!

Good to see someone obhere who's ahead of me timezone wise!

Usually I'm about three hours ahead of everyone else, except for those freepers in Texas and Missouri.

[ST.LOUIE1]

"He might shoot Louie. LOL"

No need to worry, Louie. Dan is saving his ammo for left-leaning, bleeding heart, drooling liberals.
I hardly think you fit the bill!

Sure glad I don't! What a relief!

Ooops! So relieved - I almost kissed ya! LOL

[knighthawk]

It's strange when Billie wishes me good morning, here the workign day is almost at an end.

But it gives me sort of an advantage when psoting articles!
