Tribute to LTC Roger J. Bartholomew: KIA, Thua Thien, South Vietnam.
I never really knew my dad, I was only 6 when he was killed in action. I remember helping him pack to go to vietnam and I remember the day they came and told us he was MIA. It was Thanksgiving morning and my sister and brother and I were watching the parades. Later I remember them returning those things I watched him pack. I'd like to learn more about him from those who knew him. To me he's a hero-one in a million. Wish I could tell him that today.

Howdy Howdy....

"FWIW...The Righteous Shall Triumph!!"
(To be sung to Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth")

There's somethin' happenin' here...it ain't Right...Vile Left RATS Rule by Fear!!
ATF men in a tank over there, slaughterin' kids whilst they knelt in prayer!!
It's high time we INDICT T-Mac...PUNK Dem's Clown!!
DNC Chairman...who killed Ron Brown?!!

There's bad men doin' Wrong...They'll win The Fight, unless the Right is Strong!!
Bold people must speak OUR minds...we're gettin' too much resistance from OUR side!!
It's time we ROUT Lib'rals, TRASH DemClowns!!
Right time fer Justice to make a Rebound!!

Clinton feels he can't be beat...Med'yuh Poltroons, they're Effete!!
Forgivin' wrongs, Press parrots Slick's LIES!! Mosta DemRATS say, "Slick Willie's OUR GUY!!"
It's time we STOP DemRATS...Stop DemClowns!!
Big Guv'ment's shakin' OUR Country down!!

Rev-o-lutions start slow...but Limbaugh's Legions shall grow!!
Evil Wins when the Good are afraid!! Step outta line...the time's come fer Truth to hold sway!!
We shall INDICT T-Mac...Stop Left's Clown!!
All ya good FReepers, come help us out!!
We gotta STOP Clinton...Crush Slick's Crown!!
Ev'rybody help what's goin' down!!
We're gonna STOP Lib'rals...STOP DemClowns!!
Destroy Lib'ralism...let's do it NOW!!

(12/29/2001...Happy Birthday, MamaMUD!!)

Terrance P.(unk) McAuliffe is Complicit with ALL the EX-Traitor-in-Chief's Campaign Finance Abuse Felonies and TREASON!!! Here's how we mnake the slimey bastard pay...

It's High Time the Right INDICTED DNC Chairman Terry "Punk" McAuliffe, IMHO, of course!!

Slick Willie is a Liar/Felon/Rapist/Mass-Murderer/WarCriminal/Traitor/Tyrant...but he had a whole lotta help from the Left. The Vast LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd will Defend the Indefensible--again--at their own peril!!

When we INDICT DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe, the BrainDead Lib'ral Dem'RAT Masses won't have a clue that we are actually beginning The Discovery Stage for Slick Willie's INDICTMENT...but the well-informed RightWing shall know, because we'll make it happen!!

FReepers, it's time to flex our muscles and show the Left who controls the GOP!! And it ain't McStain's RINOs!!!

Let's ROCK...MUD

Good morning Billie, Daisyscarlett, Mama_Bear, Dansangel and an especially good morning to Carlo3b, one of the great chefs of FreeRepublicland. Thank you for the recipes. I am going to plead with Maggie to make the golden apples and yams.

Carlo has been one of my food buddies at FR. He sends me meatless recipes even though it breaks his little pea-pickin' heart.
Congrats to you on making to the "Big Time". You well deserve it.

Happy Thanksgiving (I'm using your meatless gravy recipe again.)

Good morning to you hostess-chefettes, whatta cute picture...little JH2 seems curiously pleased with himself, surrounded by such bounty and beauty.

Carlo3b, very pleased to say hello to you, and to have a chance to say thank you for the tributes to Angelique...I remember bawlin' while reading the "Remembering " thread.

True chefs are artists, and it sure seems to me you've got the knack.

May this day before Thanksgiving be joyful and filled with good cheer for all Freepres.

I don't want to sound like I'm compalaining or whining, but I'm unable to read this thread beyond post #3. I would simply like to request that those who post graphics please add the height and width attributes to your images. This tells the browser how much space to reserve for the image and allows the rest of the page to load even if the image itself hasn't yet. It's very easy to do and requires typing only a little more code.

Please be considerate to those of us with a slow connection. I really wanted to read this thread, but you've locked me out.

Did I get it right, mich?

Sorry for the rant. It's just very frustrating. I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

[daisyscarlett]

'Fraid I am "calling in sick" again today but do love this profile and the great recipes. Am definitely going to try the crockpot stuffing and maybe the yams, too.

Cute graphic, too Thank so much. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

[Mixer]

Happy Thanksgiving! Thank You for all you do to make this thread incredible.

For everyone else that contributes to this thread and FR in general, have a safe and happy holiday.
