Hi my name is Frederick W Strisko III , and I take being an American very seriously, and I mean being a proud American. I am not military or LE , but I am a survivalist for my whole life. When I was 5 my Dad started my training, He brought me to every state in the continental U.S.
By the time I was 7, I had seen all of the great monuments America has to offer, Grand Canyon , Badlands, the Keys, you name it I have seen it. I joined this forum because I am part of you and you are part of me. I would give my life to spare yours. My life has been one of great wealth, not of money or material, but of experience, and adventure. I would like to share my love of this country with you. Make friends that share my common love of our homeland, and help with my knowledge of the wilderness, and how to survive in it.
This is the most beautiful country in the world, if you haven't been out there, get out and see all you can. Don't let one more minute go by without doing this. So many people fought so hard, and gave their lives for you to experience all this great land has to offer. If you have one ounce of doubt then go, get in your car, bus ,plane, whatever ....... and live.
Too many of us live behind our computer world, you forget, that there is real earth, and you don't know why you should protect this land. I can go on for ever but, I think you can understand who I am. God bless America.
Nice to meet someone who thinks like I do. Welcome and glad to have you with us.

I would also like to say something here as a follow up to Luna's inspiring message: Most of you believe you know what is going on in this world. You believe what you have been told and you beieve what you see on TV, but I would like to encourage you to stay open minded and question everything because the world is not what it seems and it is not what you've been told. You've been told that the USA is the land of the free and that we go around spreading peace and democracy and that we wage wars on other countries in the name of peace.
Deep down, you know there is something wrong with those statements but you just can't put your finger on the problem. Then sometimes you run into people that profess to have a message of "truth" and even though it makes sence to you when you hear their message, you fight it because its too painful to image a world different that what you have been conditioned to believe.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to start in with the "conspiracies" or other nonsense, that is not what this website is about. This website is about preparing each of you for some very serious times that we believe to be coming your way. If you watch the news or look around, deep down you know its coming too. Regardless of you believing any of the (whatever reason its coming), you're here to learn survival and that's what we plan to teach.
Please keep your mind open and your love of this country and the human race strong and let no foreign or domestic enemy take it away from you!
The problem with "truth" is how it gains its validity--by what the majority of people agree upon.
