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.

Billie, this is a simply beautiful thread! Thank you for all your tireless and hard work.

Hi again - I don't know the admiring lady.
but I understand her not caring a whit about the game.

You've got freemail. JL

[lodwick]

Ignore my freemail - Daisy just took care of the matter with her link. Thanks Daisy!

[Dog]

Thanks Billie!

[JustAmy]

At one time Jim sent me a background of white marble; I can check with him later to see if he still has it. Also, I have some off-white parchment paper. Do you think either of these would work?

Can fat people go skinny-dipping?

Amy, I have several backgrounds that you would probably like. I can make up a couple of pages with your profile and different backgrounds tonight. I will send them to you and you can pick which one you like best. :-)

Billie, Daisy, Louie, All ..... I don't want you to think I am ignoring your posts and mail, I need to leave for awhile. I will be back later and catch up with you all then.

Come on over! : )

[HiJinx]

It's a great morning, Billie!

I'm up to my usual, post and run. Very busy in the office, we've brought on 8 interns for the summer and getting them set up is fun, challenging, and never the same twice!!

As for the fires...we are at opposite ends of the state from the Rodeo/Chedeski monster. My brother may have some land cleared by the fire, but he won't lose any structures...there are none! My BIL may lose his late parents' cabin in Lakeside/Pinetop, 10 miles E. of the fire. Volunteer firefighters from all over the state have converged on Show Low in an effort to save as many homes and other buildings as they can. Theirs is a valiant effort, and they need all the prayer they can get!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Do you think either of these would work?

No can see the pic. : )

[lodwick]

Thoughts and prayers up.

The 'toon legacy burns on.

[Billie]

We appreciate your 'occasional posts' though! And we appreciate your service. Thank you!

[Billie]

Thanks for coming, Argh! I hope you come back. Tomorrow's another day! :)

[Billie]

Thanks, daisy - I can't tell you how much I appreciate all that you post - the news photos are always welcome, and you present them so well.....with your little intro!

[Billie]

I look forward to seeing what you two come up with!
