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.

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review those who've been featured during the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello to them now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. :)

I was headed to Columbia, Mo. for my first FReep and my car wouldn't start.

Oh, that is too bad. We are sure proud of those Missouri FReepers who go out every Saturday to counter-protest those pro-terrorist, anti-American idiots in Columbia. I can tell you Bahbah, FReeping is addicting. Hope you can make it to the next one. Thanks, Amy, for posting the threads and photos for our Missouri FReepers and for the pings. I look forward to it.

At least I can visit with you all here.

Yes, and we are very happy, since you can't be there, you can be here.

Happy weekend to you Gail! Thanks for the Elvis link.

From what I have heard, he loved his country very much. I appreciate his military service as well as the music he left us.

On 24 March 1958, Elvis Aaron Presley began his service in the United States Army. Private Elvis Presley carried his duffle bag aboard the United States Troop Transport Ship, the USS General M. Randall (T-AP-115) on 22 September 1958 for his trip overseas.
Born into poverty in East Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis Aaron Presley would grow up to become a Veteran, serving his country with pride, and the most famous entertainer of the twentieth century.

Hi lady. I don't know if it was the case with your delivery today but, isn't it irritating when delivery/repairmen announce that they will be arriving "sometime" between 8AM and 5PM? You have to get up early and then sit around all day waiting for them. You'd think they could narrow it down just a bit.

Sorry we had to miss the Rally last night. I always hate it when we can't go. Will try to be there next Friday. I saw where you all went to In-n-Out. Did you pin your note on reminding you to order your "well done" fries? :-)

I love your beautiful photographs, Valerie. Thanks again for bringing them to the Finest thread.

You know, with all the Texas pride around this place, I am envious. California "pride" has all but died out here, the libs have seen to that. There are many good things to say about the San Joaquin Valley, but can't think of much good to say about CA in general.

Hmmmmm, I think it is time to post my dump Davis graphic again........

Good Morning. A little birdie told me we were to have DD's other grandson doing the pledge today...

LOL! Must have been that little bluebird that I have seen flitting around here. :-)

Thank you, Billie, for creating the pledge graphic for me today. It does look much better than the one I did.

08-13-02 "Mr. Winky" .......................................MEEKnMING

Of course, you are much more than just "Mr. Winky", LOL! But I couldn't fit "one of our favorite 'FR's Finest' patriots, a most valued contributor, and all around nice guy" all on that one line. So, I condensed it down to "Mr. Winky". ;-)

I agree, we'll put "live agressively" on hold until Monday ...... or maybe even Tuesday.

Looks like I am all alone in here today. The echo is deafening. LOL!

See you all in awhile. Have a good day everyone. I'll check back later and see if anyone else straggled in. :-)

You're welcome.

Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to do the tributes anymore (at least not until the first of the year) because of work responsibilities, but I will be posting the weekend threads for Billie and Daisy. That way I can continue to help out and be part of the "Finest thread hostess babes" team.

See you later.

You're welcome. I take it that you and LIR are Elvis fans. I wasn't a fan of his when he was living but have come to appreciate his songs more recently. I guess I just couldn't get into all that hysteria. LOL!
