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.

[The Thin Man]

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.

Oh no!!! He's about to squash the whobug. I can't look.

bttt

[lodwick]

That's funny - cows are not so bright, but they are a bit cunning, and if they should decide that they don't want to be penned, it can make for a very long day. My last dealing with cattle should be a dispersal sale - I had plenty enough to do with them for the first twenty years of my life. ;-)

You mean LadyX and Who! let you enjoy some shrimp? I'm shocked - but glad you were able to grab some.

[Pippin]

HEH! HEH!, I have my ways!

[LadyX]

Well, JL - if you had been sitting there with little Pippin looking so forlorn, and that puppy-dog-a-beggin' look in her eyes, you'd have given her some of yours, too..:)))

Her next name will be Little Miss Woe-b-Gone, no doubt!

COB! Where are you?!
I just finished watching your 911 CD and it is a masterpiece! My husband and I were both very moved bt it, we had never seen those pictures of the tragedy before. A professional couldn't have done a better job of making that CD.
Thank you for sending me that copy.

[humblegunner]

COB1 was busy fighting the dread "Clay Army"
at our local shooting range.. he should be done
grieving soon.. it was a bloody massacre.

Clay carnage everywhere, I'm scarred for life...

[lodwick]

Y'all really didn't make her beg for shrimp...did you? ;-)

[lodwick]

Good news re: y'alls' victory over the horrid Clays. Nice work and good shooting. ;-)

[Aquamarine]

I hope no one's gun blew up this time!

[humblegunner]

Thanks! The UN have declared the evil Clay Army off limits
to American aggression, and I now agree.. both remaining Clays
should be preserved.. until next week.

Received an anonymous e-mail from someone - could've been JustFrank or Silly Shelly, but who knows?
(well - maybe who knows)

GOOD GUESS

A mild mannered man is tired of his wife always bossing him around, so he decides to go to a psychiatrist.
The doctor tells him he has to develop self-esteem.
The doctor gives him a booklet on assertive training.
He reads it on the way home.
When he walks thru the door and his wife comes to greet him, he tells her,
"From now on I'm the man of this home and my word is law.
When I come home from work I want my dinner on the table.
Now get upstairs and lay me out some clothes on the bed because I'm going out with the boys tonight.
Then draw my bath.
And when I get out of the tub guess who is going to dress me and comb my hair?"

"The undertaker," she replies.

[lodwick]

Don't miss the Against guy on the couch.

[Aquamarine]

Double LOL!!
Is Registered back?

[Mama_Bear]

Just checkin' in after missing the whole day of activities yesterday. :^(

I missed yesterday too. :-(

We're heading for Oakland in a short while for a baseball game featuring my second favorite team...

Guess I don't need to tell you to have a great time, I'm sure you will. Have a safe trip up and back. :-)

[LadyX]

Aqua, I simply love it!!
Will play it again and again.....

[Mama_Bear]

And it's a croissant!! The mocking insult to the symbol of Islam. :)

Then croissants shall, for evermore, be a staple on the Finest thread. LOL!

Happy weekend to you. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks so much! The Concord grapes were delicious.

Our pleasure! We hope you will join us every morning for breakfast........and lunch and dinner, too. :-)

[Aquamarine]

I just wanted to tell you before I forget again how much I loved your opening Lights post on 9-11-02. The one that played Angel while George W. was talking in the background. I give that post a 10.
