One note of interest: There are large pictures of BKO and BCM along with memorial statements mentioning that they were members of FreeRepublic.com which are on display with the flower arrangements. I understand from tgslTakoma that these items have had to be replaced often because they seem to disappear.

The DC Chapter of FreeRepublic.com will be at the Pentagon Memorial again next week. Please join us if you are in the area.

Bump for a BIG rally April 20.

[Fred Mertz]

Thank you for your efforts and for representing FreeRepublic.com yesterday.

I am hoping to be able to visit for the April 20th event.

[Angelwood]

We'll ping you when the details are ironed out. It will be wonderful to see you again. Bring the orange jacket so everyone will recognize you! Hugs.

[tgslTakoma]

I hope we get to see you then, FM. It will be good to visit with you again in person.

What's up with CAL?

FreeRepublic.com memorial to two fallen FReepers, BKO and BCM, at the Pentagon. Memorial has been maintained weekly since November 2001 by members of the DC Chapter of FreeRebublic.com.

[Fred Mertz]

What a beautiful memorial.

[tgslTakoma]

A small baggie, with several personal tokens, placed by an Ohio family. Many people have left small items, poems, flowers, prayers, medallions and other items at the Pentagon knoll... as tokens of their respect and of their grief.

[tgslTakoma]

Another new tribute left this past week, from a coworker of those killed.

Construction progress as of 3pm 3/16/02.

BTTT to everyone. Thanks for the report. I knew we had lost BKO, but didn't know about the loss of our man in uniform.

God Bless & FReegards

PS: Please FReepmail me any news on the chapter organization or changes.

[kristinn]

Good job with the photos. I can see them !!!

[tgslTakoma]

Not anymore. :-(

Sheesh! The place I uploaded them to allows a certain amount of bytes transferred, which includes whenever somebody looks at the pix. I guess too many people looked at the images, and now they won't let anyone see them. I guess I got what I paid for (free image hosting) grrrrr...

Back to the drawing board for me.

Thanks for the ping, sweetie. Sorry I was not able to make the Pentagon FReep, but I am glad I got to the Bennigans FReep!

Thanks for all that you are doing -- don't know if I told you that Saturday.

And, thanks to kristinn and Angelwood for their continuing heoric efforts to keep our Republic FRee.

Shoot, while I'm thanking people, thank you all, each and every one of you, for all that you do to ensure that America remains a FRee Republic!

Whether you contribute time, talent or treasure (or some measure of each), every contribution is important. Without your efforts, America will not long remain a FRee Republic.

So, keep it up, FReepers! We are making a hellofa difference!

And the really important thing for us all to do is to keep the objective in sight and not get distracted from our goal!

“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” [Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, 1800.]

Scrap the Code! Scrap the IRS! Abolish the VLWC!

We will never be a truly FRee people so long as we have the income tax and the IRS.
