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.

I love the Pledge today Lori. Thanks and the breakfast is yummy too. Thanks, daisy. It doesn't compare to your wonderful buffet yesterday, but after all that food, I thought some lighter fare was in order. Can't eat like that every day. LOL
(Guess you are trying to make up for last Sat. a.m. when you forgot us, hee hee)
Shhhhhhhhh! I think it may have escaped Billie's attention......at least, up until NOW it had. LOL
To: Mama_Bear
No mam, a couple of the boys are buenas noches, but i'm still
Standing Vigilante and Standing Defiant Put a brisket on Ole Smokey, mowed the lawn and edged as well as my neighbors. GOD BLESS DUBYA

The threads for this past week have been incredible ..... thank you to all who contributed!!! Thank you, kayak. Yes, it was a hard week, but the sentiments and graphics posted here were so touching and heartwarming. I also thank everyone who came by to join hearts and prayers with us in memory of the 9-11 vicitms and their families.
To: BlessedAmerican
Good Morning! How I enjoy each and every post here. Thank you! That means so much to us. We are glad you are here. Blessings on you! Have a wonderful weekend.
To: ValerieUSA
Lovely sunrise, Valerie. The landscape looks very much like places here in the CA central valley.
I was unable to answer any of my pings on the thread yesterday, but I did see the interesting photo you posted. Thank you. Keep them coming. :-)
To: jwfiv
Big atta-girl to you, and wishing you a safe and extra-relaxing weekend filled with love an sugar and light and goodness and red, white and blue. Wow!! You just touched my heart and made my day...all at once! Thank you so much. :-)
A beautiful weekend to you too.
To: whoever
Thanks who. It is so good to see you here today. (((hug)))
To: Billie
Checking in this morning. I love what you did with the weekend thread today, Lori. Thanks, Billie. I am so late getting back here today. I woke up not feeling my best this morning. I could be coming down with something, but I am hoping it is only because for two nights in a row I have been up past 2AM.
I am trying to get my pings answered, then I am going to shut down and go rest.
To: Temple Owl
Good morning ladies. Let us enjoy a beautiful day. Good afternoon to you. Always nice to see you here. Have a wonderful, restful weekend.
To: Pippin
Hiya, Pippin! That 9-11 globe is one I haven't seen before. Very nice. :-)
To: Mixer
Beautiful, Mixer! Thank you.
The Yucatan Penninsula has the most beautiful beaches. I haven't been to Cancun, but visited Playa Del Carmen when we toured the Mayan ruins at Tulum several years ago. Never seen sand so clean and white.
To: Mama_Bear
Great thread today! I especially love the cow graphics. Who would ever have thought cows could be such comedians!

HeeHee...those are great!
To: lodwick
When I was much younger (and agile) I worked on a dairy farm milking cows. Every evening as I drove the herd to the barn, one old crippled cow always held things up. She could barely walk, and procrastinated the whole way making the job take longer. One day, getting impatient with her, I decided to try out "cow riding." When the horse pulled up even with her, I hopped off and landed on her back nicely.
When she was finished bucking and stomping me into the ground I remember thinking, "Who would have thought cows were such good fakers?"
To: Mama_Bear
Hmmm-Hmmm! That was great, MB. Thanks a lot!
