  • My Little Opus

    It was the best of times- it was the worst of times....Good-bye and best of luck in cyber space freepers. My parting sentiments are: if you would please remember the troops, our veterans and their families in your prayers-they are getting the job done for all of us. (Go out and do something nice for one of them if you can.) The most important thing on our minds, IMO, *should be* to get our troops home safely, when they are done with their jobs, to make sure the liberals do not turn this into a *Vietnam type of thing*, and...

    Patriots Guild No one knows what the outcome of World War II would have been if more than 18 million women hadn't worked in home-front defense industries to free men for overseas battlefields and to keep the nation running, and no one can say what would happen in this war on terror, if it were not for the countless Contractors, who put their lives on the line to re-build Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the millions of civilians who support the war effort from home. *** I would like to introduce you to the Patriots Guild- a place...

  • Operation Digital Camera: Taking the photos of our troops that the Media won't take.

    11/25/2005 5:46:20 PM PST · by Diva Betsy Ross · 105 replies · 2,588+ views
    I have an idea- why not send some digital cameras over to our guys and gals in Iraq and ask them to send back some photos for us. I will compile a list of people with servers, who will post the photos here at FR- perhaps we could use this thread for a meeting place. My hope is that blogs and friendly media can pick up the photos and spread them around a bit. What we need are: 1)People and organizations who are willing to donate cameras and get them to our troops. 2)Names of people who can receive the...

    Some Can't Evacuate New Orleans for Ivan By MARY FOSTER, Associated Press Writer NEW ORLEANS - Fleeing to safety was not an option for some people as 140-mph Hurricane Ivan churned toward the Gulf Coast, threatening to submerge the below-sea-level city in what could be the most disastrous storm to hit in nearly 40 years. Latonya Hill, who waited out the dangerous storm sitting on her stoop Tuesday, said the official pleas for residents to pack up and leave meant little to her. "Got no place to go and no way to get there," said the 57-year-old grandmother, who lives...
