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.

Please refresh the picture, since I have consumed my half of said items..:)))

Many thanks!

[lodwick]

It's great to have our shrimp thieving loving friend back where she belongs. ;-)

[whoever]

I've been saving this for you,

Oh,thank you!! I love it. How did you know I like Jr. Mints??

[whoever]

Amazing Grace played with bagpipes

Of course you may keep it and use it. I am glad it was meaningful to you.

Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers.

Fried Shrimp Platter It's a plateful of Golden Fried Shrimp,
along with a side of French Fries or Potato Salad.
Grab a cold brew and some cocktail sauce
and sit back and enjoy!

[whoever]

Oh, happy day!

Prayers going up for both of you

Thank you so very much. It is a happy day for me, too.

I appreciate your continued prayers.

[whoever]

Will keep you in my Thoughts and Prayers

Thank you so very much. I really appreciate all the prayers on my behalf. He is willing. He is able

[lodwick]

You were gone when I posted the link to a wonderful music site. Listening to Unforgettable reminded me to post it again. Mash here

Enjoy.

[whoever]

....I'm so happy you're back....

I could kiss you. So I will....

Now, that is very healing, and I will expect one every day, now. I may just never recover completely as long as you do that..

[whoever]

Thanks for that information. I will check it out soon.

[whoever]

..I just told the guys outside, and a couple of them wanted to come in and give you a kiss:..

Thanks, Cobby. But if you don't mind, I will stick to LOUIE's kind. No lipstick marks from his.

[Mama_Bear]

The nite crew is on

Thank you. I am sure the nite crew has clocked out by now, but we are glad that you are part of our Finest crew, day or night. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

That drawing cracks me up! Especially the dog, flaked out on the floor with a smile on his face. LOL!

Please, stop by for breakfast any time.

[whoever]

I was going to steal it (as I'm in the habit of doing) but it occurred to me that a boy shooting a plunger instead of an arrow makes no sense. Until I figure out what it means, I'm not touching it.

Good, see there is motive in my madness.

Spend a little time on it, it may come to you

I was disappointed in your saying nice things to me. I was hoping you would not change, but, I see I was away too long.

[Mama_Bear]

Hiya, Meek. Good day to you!

[whoever]

hearing from you has absolutely made my day!

Well, finally I got your attention. Goody.

That made my day.

[whoever]

Remember, who's back now - she may still be a little fragile, but it doesn't take much strength to push the "power of delete" button

You betcha! And I know just how to do it, too.

[Mama_Bear]

Believe I will wait a bit on breakfast.

Yours will be waiting when breakfast time arrives in your part of the world. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, Gail, for contributing to our breakfast fare. Heart shaped toast, how sweet of you. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Isn't that cute? For some reason, my dogs have never paid any attention to the tv, but my mother had a dog who loved to watch Benji movies. He actually would sit there and tremble when the bad guy was chasing Benji, like he was really understanding what he was seeing. LOL
