A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-11-02

Posted on 12/11/2002 7:48:03 AM PST by Billie




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 SNOW!

Since today has a snow theme I think this would be a good time to send out my Christmas card to my Finest FRiends.

A snowball right on the nose sure caught me by surprise...)

"Honey, I forgot to duck."

Good morning to our Hostesses.

As long as it's just JH2's computer that's having trouble, I can cope.

Should he himself be having trouble, that's another matter.

A guy like that should be working on a Cadillac PC.

Wishing all Freepers a safe and lucky day.

God blesses America.

BTW, how was Ming's trip back home?

I haven't talked to her since she left. Her route was D/FW --->Detroit---->Japan---->Beijing and I checked a little while ago and the flight landed at 9:09 p.m. TONIGHT in Beijing. (That would be 8:09 a.m. Central time this morning). At least I know the flight made it ok.

She'll catch another flight tomorrow to Shenyang, China - her home town. (I say "town" - it's 6 MILLION people !) I'll call her tomorrow or Friday to see how she's doing. (I have no way of knowing where to get hold of her in Beijing). Thanks, FRiend.....

Good morning. "hassle-free" hmm, lol, *unlikely*

But we're tough, we can take it.

When we have an announcement, we'll make it in this thread.

This is obviously the place to be!
