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'm Proud To Be A Freeper Because......

I get to meet people like this:  mtngrl@vrwc,  JustAmy,  Mama_Bear, and Senorita, a few of the FResno FReepers who give their time every Friday night to gather in support of our troops. I want to thank you and all of the other FResno FReepers for your dedication. (Oh, and contrary to what you might hear from ST.LOUIE1, it really isn't true they only attend the rallies for the cookies!) :)

Be sure and read about the Tailgate Party and Rally coming up next month. Call and make your reservations to attend. Click on the photo below for more information.

How good to see you. I love the gentle teasing between you and Billie ...It is teasing, right?

[Billie]

AMEN!! Thankyou Billie Great idea
Please add me to your ping list!

Thank YOU, Mayor (and your niece!) And you are THERE! (ping list) :)

[Billie]

Hi, Dave, welcome and thank you (or thank you and welcome!) I'm glad you're here!

Yes, the FResno FReepers are some of the very best! The 'Condit' FReepers aren't too shabby, either!

[daisyscarlett]

Teacup is a loyal FReeper and a FRiend to many of us. She and her family are going through a tough time now and need our thoughts and prayers and help, especially if you are in the South East, Carolina part of the USA.

Hi Daisy. Usually it is teasing, but this time I expressed a very serious concern. LOL!

[Aquamarine]

Do I only get one thumb up on that one? Not two? lol!
I did good to find that one. When I have a little more time and if Billie will tell me where to look I would love to find a midi of Conway singing for you.

Pass the Foie Gras...please ;-)

[philman_36]

For all I do? I don't do much any more and I believe some wish I'd do nothing. Thanks though, I'll visit.

[Mama_Bear]

Now, have Mama_Bear find you a background. : )

I can do that, I have tons of them in a folder somewhere .... but as you can see from our pages, Louie and I are partial to just plain black. :-)

[Billie]

Thanks for coming, Severa. Thanks for sending me your hubby's picture earlier.

[Billie]

LOL! Those pictures will certainly be reposted, but I must save some things for later! If I put everything this thread, then what'll I do about tomorrow? LOL

[Billie]

Love it! There's one check that will never clear the bank!

[JustAmy]

I can scan in a sheet of stationary and e-mail to you. Let me see what I have, I may have some backgrounds. My son says I have a fetish for clipart and designer inkjet paper. When I see him he ask what paper I bought or did I buy more clipart. (Now for a decision as to which signature to use!)

Only one prob....

Amy's gifs are for a white bg. : (

[dansangel]

I am very overwhelmed....all I can say is "Thank-you" from Tony, .45MAN and myself.

Billie: You are the best! God Bless you and all who have served and are now serving their country to protect our precious freedoms.

This is a wonderful tribute.

[g'nad]

My venison supply is dangerously low... huntin' season better hurry up...I let my brewin' slip this spring (too busy turkey huntin")...I'm down to less than three cases!!! (in my best Sam Kinison voice)OH! OOOOOOOHHH!!!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, how awful! My heart goes out to you Teacup. The thought of one of my grandchildren being missing just hits me in the pit of my stomach. I am about to cry. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.

[Mama_Bear]

Amy's gifs are for a white bg. : (

I know. I thought of that. They would have to be on a white table. And we know how much fun tables are to work with on our profile pages, don't we? LOL!

I will see what I can come up with.
