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.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and 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 could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that didn'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 we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.

There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!

If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.

Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.

Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

Hi ya Meek

[The Mayor]

gotta go and do some work, see ya's later.

[FreeTheHostages]

I'm proud to announce that one of our 2003 Profilees here at Freeper's Finest, Warrior Nurse, has received a military commendation! Details are here.

[FreeTheHostages]

[The Mayor]

Mornin Free, I posted it at #3 too!

[FreeTheHostages]

Ah! LOL, well, I'm just waking up. Worth mentioning twice, I suppose, this being Military Monday.

[SpookBrat]

We just spotted and Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. Wish you were here.

[SpookBrat]

"Weight: Do we need to lose the weight of unnecessary burdens and cares?"

I'm fat and my blood pressure is sky high. I need to eat better and walk more. :(

God bless you today.

[Calpernia]

I had two of those in the pavillion for a short time last summer!

They are beautiful!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Our Very Own Wolfie
Supports and Defends Our Country, Too - -

Wonderful pic!! LOL Thank yooou!!!

(and a handsome beast, he is..:))!!!

: ) Did you read your freepmail?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Forgot to say good morning, sweetheart. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, Mayor!!

[SpookBrat]

He was shockingly beautiful and took our breath away!!! He flew away though, I guess because he heard me hoping he was dead so we could keep him. I just can't bring myself to catch live butterflies for our collection. He blessed us with beauty today so I wish him a prosperous, long life.

We have wet lands all around us, so we have amazing birds every where. I have seen more bluebirds than I've ever seen in my whole life. It's so exciting to spot a blue bird. We have two Bald Eagles around here some where, but haven't seen them in a few weeks, so maybe they took off. They nest here in the winter. We have Osprey's that feed in our pond everyday and that's an awesome thing to witness. I've tried to take pictures of it, but he is too fast for me.

Anyway, we were outside late last night and heard some wonderful Barred Owls calling each other and carrying on a mighty chatter. It was so exciting that I had to write it down in our family diary. It probably sounds cheesy to get so excited over owls, but this was the first time we've heard them.

[SpookBrat]

Hi Louie. I haven't seen you in a very long time. Are you doing ok?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hi Louie. I haven't seen you in a very long time.

Hiya Spooky!!! Great to see you! : )

Are you doing ok?

Pretty good, thanks. I hope to be participating more often. I'd better....or Amy will delete my name. LOL

[SpookBrat]

I think I remember your knees where giving you fits, weren't they? I hope they are better.

I hardly get on here myself because homeschooling keeps me swamped. We're enjoying our spring break this week. Ally is gone, but Jonah is here. We might go to Universal Studios on Wednesday. Other than that, I'm just catching up on my scrapbook albums and listening to the Mocking birds mock. We went to the beach Saturday and it was extremely cold! I think we'll wait until April to go back. :)

[Pippin]

((((SPOOKY))))!

((((LOUIE))))!

Hey you two!

How are you doing!

Hope to "see" you both here more often!

[MeekOneGOP]

Howdy ! Thanks for today's thread ...

[SpookBrat]

(((((Pippin)))))) I haven't seen you in a long time either and had you on my mind. Were you MIA for awhile or on vacation? Hope things are going well up in DC territory. Are the cherry trees blooming yet?

[Pippin]

No cherry blossums yet!

I was having problems at work with my freepin on my work computer.

But I decided it's all just politics and started to post again!
