I was privy to a FreeRepublic thread in which Joseph made a typing error, of all things, in his translation. He omitted the word “not” in a sentence. Shahda immediately informed the FreeRepublic moderators of the error. It was quickly corrected and any comments made based on his typing error were removed from the thread. I was impressed with the speed with which all this was handled and the care taken by both Joseph and FreeRepublic to insure the data was accurate. The entire episode left me with a confident feeling of credibility on the matter.

One of the many reasons why I love FR.

My thanks to jveritas for his efforts. In the best possible FR spirit he is sharing his effort with those on the forum and making a real difference in our turbulent world.

"Joseph Shahda’s optimism and love for America was palpable. In just talking to him I felt my resolve toughen and my own love of my country of birth deepen. Everyday he sits down and begins more translations. I’d argue that Shahda’s meticulous efforts are far better than we could expect from the government bureaucrats."

Ditto! I felt such a surge of love, and pride, that tears welled in my eyes as I was reading this piece.

"I feel a great sense of duty to do the translation of some these documents because that is the least I can do in time of war to serve the United States of America to whom I am in eternal debt and gratitude, and what I am doing is a small pay back toward this debt that I can never fully repay no matter what I do. My efforts to do the translation pale in comparison to the great efforts and sacrifice that our brave troops are doing on a daily basis."

No, you are of the same stripe as every patriot who has dedicated himself/herself to the service of this country, from our founding until this present time, because of a love of what is contained in our Founding Documents, and what they represent. America's very existence depends on such patriots, and every effort toward that goal is significant.

God's blessings on both of you, and thank you.
