Two years ago, I was a senior in high school and I thought it would be a good day. It was the day I became a legal adult. It was also the first time my friends had ever decorated my locker. It wasn't until I was walking in the hall and saw the ladies in the guidance office just staring dumbly at the television that I knew something was wrong.
My 18th birthday was the end of one era...thanks to all the Freepers who helped me realize that there is still hope.
Also, happy birthday to Sparta!
May we never forget...

More than welcome, my friend.

In honor of the memory of our fellow Americans lost on 9/11:
"Samuel Thompson wrote: I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December.
"I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution.
"Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game. 'But it's a Christian prayer,' some will argue. Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country founded on Christian principles. And we are in the Bible Belt. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody chanting Hare Krishna?
"If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
"If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
"If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
"And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. When in Rome...
"'But what about the atheists?' is another argument. What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer. Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.
"Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us just to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well..........just sue me.
"The silent majority has been silent too long.. it's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard, that the vast majority don't care what they want.. it is time the majority rules!
"It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray.. you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance, you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right.. but by golly you are no longer going to take our rights away .. we are fighting back.. and we WILL WIN! After all the God you have the right to denounce is on our side!
"God bless us one and all, especially those who denounce Him...
"God bless America, despite all her faults.. still the greatest nation of all.....
"God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God....
"May 2003 be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions.
"Keep looking up...... In God WE Trust."

You're welcome! I'm 99% sure it's a FReeper original. I can remember telling a fellow FReeper that he had the flag positioned 'wrong', so he 'fixed' it. LOL...just today, I saw his 'wrong original' on a google search.
BTW... I know there is a talented FReeper who can post the link to this image that is a perfect size for 'wallpaper'. (I have it as mine.)
To: mommadooo3
mommadooo, I had a 100 zip drive of all the FR images (including the eagle) articles and research that I'd done for more than one year... Last week I zotted it by accident.. I can't even contribute a jpeg to the September 11th Memorial thread :( Ah well, now I'll have to FReep twice as hard to find all the information again. Thanks for reposting images everyone! :)

I'm NOT 'puter smart... but would a system restore give ya back what ya zotted?
I'll see what I can find to post, so you can start rebuilding what you lost.
To: sdk7x7
Excellent post.
You've done a lot already, but have you considering joining the military for a while as a way to further the cause of America? The country could always use a good young man like you.
Not that you would be a bad person if you didn't join, and I wouldn't hold it against you.
Still, just a thought. We have a war we have to win.

Can't... it's a disk. Oh well.

As far as your research/articles go, if you can give a run-down of what you had, I'm sure we can help you track it down.

BTTT for FReeper excellence!
Oh momma! How wonderful, thoughtful, and kind you are! Thank you 1000 times! You know, I had probably 40 folders - religion, quotes, Sawgrass Rebellion, humor, clintoons, election, all Registered's art, articles I had written, on and on. It will take months to even figure out all that is gone. But I have learned one must back up DISKS! However, tonight you have signgehandedly gotten me headed on the right path - and I appreciate every one of those awesome photos you posted - you sweetie! ((((hugs))))

I'll do what I can to help you. When I get 'stuck', I'll put out a call for help.
I'm thinking that all of today's threads will be a 'goldmine' in your search to find what was lost.
I have a few ideas. I'll be back!
