A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....03-24-03...Hall of Fame #3

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 WEEKEND THREAD

03-22,23-03 Week in Review

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping'
The guy's good, folks!
Thanks, Mixer!

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

I replied earlier but it must have gotten lost in cyber-space because I looked in my comments sections and it never made it there. If anyone sees my comments floating around please be careful as the "R" can be know to get a little out of control.

Anyway hope everyone has a great Monday

Thanks for the anniversary wishes Billie and Daisy. I FINALLY took your advice today Billie and changed my preference to the lastest 20 posts (as opposed to 250). Gosh what a difference that makes! Was ready to shoot my computer LOL! Better late than never!

Daisy...it's so fantastic to see your smiling face here. How we missed you!

Hi Pippin...I'm so glad I didn't watch the acadamy awards last night! That was pretty cool about Marty Engle having the flag inside his jacket though! Knew there was a reason I liked him! Have a wonderful day!

Good to see the two of you.

Yes, sadfully so, spring break is over. But I had an absolute blast.

I'm in a way glad to get back into my routine, though.

Hope you all are having a good day.

I'm off to go snowboarding, so you have a good day, Pippin.

How many were at the rally? I've tracked 11 mentioned on FR for Sunday and they had 53,000 combined attendance.

More Millington rally photos

Millington PD estimated 7,000. Stadium Manager 7,500 inside another 500 milling about at the tables outside. Total about 8,000.
