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.

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.

Well ..... he does put up a great front. LOL
Like Louie, he doesn't need much nudging.
You did see their pictures, didn't you?

Don't they look like cohorts to you?

LOL!
They look like TWINS! I am amazed, you know they say everyone has a twin somewhere!
The really strange thing is, they not only look alike, but they act just alike too!
Where is Louie anyway? Wouldn't Billie let him out of that corner today?
To: JustAmy
"What is 'excuse me' " LOL ! Thanks. Playin' catchup, as usual!

I think Louie is out looking for more mischief for next week. You know he loves to see me on probation or worse! LOL

Good morning, Aqua and everyone. Sorry not here much yesterday. Busy day. Same today.
Will check back later.
In the meantime - hope everyone has a blessed Sunday!
To: Aquamarine; Billie; daisyscarlett; Mama_Bear; All
Mornin' ya'll !
I would be very appreciative to anyone that might go to the
link here and add info or at least bump it for new FReepers!
Thank you in advance !
HTML Sandbox is locked - Requesting HTML
Information, Links, etc. for FReeper Newbies http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/735087/posts
No.....this is not a request for help for myself, lol ! This is for folks that are new to FreeRepublic.com that need a place to practice their HTML before posting on the regular threads. When I see a new FReeper that posts an article and the first reply is "Paragraphs are our friends" (or the likes), I will send them links to the NEWCOMERS: Welcome Center and Information thread and the HTML Bootcamp (Cyber patriot training) thread. This way, they may become oriented to FreeRepublic and their posts will go up and be better received by the FReeper audience.
Perhaps in all the recent changes FreeRepublic has undergone, I missed something? When I search for the "Sandbox" I find quite a few of them, but they are all "locked read-only". I'm trying to find out if there is an active "Sandbox" for folks to practice their HTML skills. If there is not one now, can someone post one? Perhaps there is a "Sandbox" posted now under a different name, or a place outside of FreeRepublic that one can practice their HTML posting skills. Bottom line, I think you see I'm looking for a place that I can direct new folks to so they can practice HTML.
Last, if you have any links to HTML instruction, etc., or anything that might be helpful to FReeper newbies (or helpful to anyone for that matter), please post them here.

Louie will be looking for sure, but....
....in the meantime...let's talk over our plans for today.
Have to get ready for church. TTYL. : )

Will do!! Thanks for bumping my thread !

Hey, TGYC posted a link to a "Sandbox" there too. I haven't tried it yet, but I
looked and it appears to be what I wanted! FReepers are so helpful !
And here's some advise FReeper beckett gave me. Cool !.....
Follow these steps for easy HTML coding:
To: ValerieUSA

A good Sunday afternoon to all of you (Well this is who I saw early on yesterday's thread!)
Didn't get a chance to say hello here yesterday, so am trying to make up for it today.
