A Few of FR's Finest.....Every Day 06-25-02

A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues;  salute
and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new
word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who
are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which
we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.  I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. The forum is read daily by tens of thousands
of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.





A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

You Have Mail......
It's always such fun seeing that at the top of the forum throughout the day! Like getting little presents all day long. :)

After adding the last group photo (above) to the original Veteran's Day thread, I had mail from FReeper
Q6-God, who is a Paratrooper in the US Army. (LRSC) E-5 ATL TM2-3. He sent me this recent "Hatchet Team" photo of some of the Paratroopers in his unit. Q6 is the one kneeling in the lower right; that's his twin brother next to him on the left. (Look, Diver - another FReeper TWIN serving in the military at the same time with his brother!)

So pleased to meet you, Q6, and we SALUTE you, and your teammates! Thank you for your service, God Bless, and be safe.

Good morning!

If you'd rather not be 'pinged', please yell at me in FReepMail, instead of here on the forum.

Good morning. Was wondering where the thread was this morning. Must've been a late night last night.

SCOUTS OUT!

Enjoyed yesterday's thread - and love this photo of Q6 and his brother and his unit! They look so good! Some of America's finest! You go, Q6, and your brother - that's really cool you can be together!

Hi, good morning, lad - I never get a thread posted until the "real" morning! LOL! I'm not a nightowl and almost never have hung around late at night! Look for these threads to be posted anywhere between 8 - 9:30 or 10 AM Central Time!

Good morning, annie! Isn't that neat, being twins and serving the country at the same time!

I hope you're here today, Q6 - am afraid you are 'away' since I didn't hear from you yesterday.

Hey there, my hubby will be home on the 3rd. I'll make sure I point him toward this thread (that is, after I get back from my scheduled sinus CAT scan. *grumblesnarl* Maybe after that I can find out why the hell I keep getting sinus infections)

Good morning, Freedom - thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed yesterday's thread. Hope you'll be here as often as you can. We had a great start yesterday on what promises to be a nice place to get together.

Daisyscarlett is going to do the "feature" Thursday, and Mama_Bear is doing Friday's.

I'm thinking we will only do one for the weekend - just let Saturday be a two-day thread. :)
