What follows is the Prologue.PrologueI have been asked by the Free America government to write my memoirs about the events of the Second Civil War for the Always Remember Program that is to be implemented in our schools in the coming year. Historians at several of our advanced schools have requested that I focus on the vague and generally unknown events that happened long ago concerning FEMA camp 37. Historians in present times forty years later generally concede that the Second Civil War started the day that FEMA camp 37 was blown up and burned to the ground by Free Americans in Nevada along with seven other FEMA camps in the country that was formally known as the United States of America. Thankfully it still is one country but the second time around it is now the United States of Free America. It is now strictly governed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights. It was a long and costly struggle.Most people don't know about the legacy of FEMA camp 37, except for the brave rural citizens in Nevada, which at that time and presently is today, few and far between. FEMA camp 37 was actually burned to the ground three times over six years and Nevada became the first state to be free of a government that had become tyrannical and ruthless Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people died in the FEMA camps. Unlike many states we had only one large city and a vast wilderness composed of desert and God's rugged mountains to take refuge in. He knew what He was doing when he created those wonderful mountains. We also had just one major government military base to take out along with some minor ones in our state. Some Free Americans with a vision of the future knew what to do and how to get it done.The first time FEMA camp 37 was blown up and burned only nineteen inmates fled to the Free America movement out of two hundred thousand. No one knows to this day how many people perished from the FEMA guard's guns or the resulting fire caused by our actions. The second time FEMA camp 37 was destroyed after being rebuilt two thousand and twenty two fled to the mountains with the Free Americans. The third and final time FEMA camp 37 burned over one hundred thousand inmates joined the Free Americans and this time we had the weapons and the people to take back our state. We destroyed the government air base at Nellis and liberated Las Vegas the same day. I know because I was there all three times, the first time as an inmate, the last two as the leader of the Free America scouts who performed the raids.I, along with President Scott Nomma of the United States of Free America, was amongst those nineteen inmates who fled during the first raid on FEMA camp 37. Looking back forty years later we both will admit we fled not because of courage at the time, but fear. We both were young when placed in FEMA camp 37, very young, and we did not know what freedom was. Our elders had lost their ways and gave up their liberties along with their freedom to the federal government.Now in the twilight of my life I realize that the brave men and women I once knew during the struggle must never be forgotten. What saddens me is a lot of them I never knew their last or in some cases their real names but they all had one thing in common. They died free.
