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.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and 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 could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that didn'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 we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.
Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

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

Actually the so-called cartoon has a pro-Bush intent. It is so shocking everyone is taking it wrong, in which case it is probably not a good political comment. It's trying to show that partisan politics is acting in a brutal fashion toward Dubya. I think the conservative cartoonist misjudged this one. The image cancels the intent.

Hey, folks ! I hate to post and run,

Hey, but you did it in style posting those Bush and Reagan pics! :)

Be careful on the lake today, hope you don't get stove up the way you did last week.

It's disturbing anytime I see a "cartoon" of someone pointing a gun at our President, never knowing what the image could trigger in some nuts mind.
The dems can only shoot blanks over this issue. Actually think the (Politics) gunman should be holding the gun to his own head in order to be accurate.

You are right, I missed it. Thanks for the ping, I really appreciate the effort you sistahs put into this.

Oh you mean having to wash Dutchess' head? LOL, guess it's the order of seniority around here. I'm the newbie hostess so I get all the tough jobs....not really, I actually have it easy, all I have to do is copy and paste the thread in.

Just a picture of the war in Iraq. I didn't like the headline or the story that Reuters wrote to go with it....something about the war dragging on if you can believe that!

Hi Aqua...sorry I couldn't be around today. That's so funny that you had the photo editing program and didn't know it. We just got one on ebay for 12.95 or something. BTW, I'll try to send "freepmail" a how to do John cheat sheet for "blockquote impaired persons" tonight.

Billie....you would not believe it LOL!

Dear Weinie:

You sound like you're back in top form. Think I will

be "paying a visit" this week. Please ask your mom to cook

up a steak or two for this beef lover. Chicken and rice

are for weinies! :o)

Love - Giz
