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.

You HAVE to do some Willie Nelson! I could, but always fun to see your graphics!

[Billie]

Thanks for coming, and thank you again for serving. We'll be seein' you every day! :)

[JustAmy]

I can't talk to Jim until later. He works all night and sleeps all morning. I don't want Sheila yelling at me for calling to early. BG
This is the parchment paper.

Looking at it, I think it should be lighter. I'll keep looking and Mama_Bear will look tonight.

[Billie]

Well, thank you for the kudos! I always love to hear them from the LouieWolf!

Your day in the spotlight will come, you know! I already told Mama_Bear she couldn't feature you - I reserved the right to put you in the spotlight. :)

[Billie]

Thank you - I'm just going to let you go on thinking that. :)

              

[Billie]

Hey, your logos are great! Where's the bright-eyed bushy-tailed one?!

[Billie]

How about we let Louie find it and if it needs any animation, I'll do that!

[Billie]

Hmmmmm.....I usually work alone but....
sounds like a winner! : )

Now you know we'd make a good team. LOL! You do such a good job of finding the right stuff - you really don't need me for that! I can move an arm and a leg or a tail or a wink and animate the name though if you need me!

[KneelBeforeZod]

what about law enforcement?

[KneelBeforeZod]

[JustAmy]

I told you I have several so I will add more later. Hey a whole page of gif(t)s from Louie. I'e added a couple of more.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Looking at it, I think it should be lighter.

I think it will be just fine. : )

You saying 'Sheila' is *cranky*? LOL

[ST.LOUIE1]

Well, thank you for the kudos!
I always love to hear them from the LouieWolf!

Well, he is easy to love. LOL Thank you. : )

Your day in the spotlight will come, you know! I already told Mama_Bear she couldn't feature you
- I reserved the right to put you in the spotlight. :)

And it will probably be the shortest thread in FR history for posts. : )

[JustAmy]

'You saying 'Sheila' is *cranky*? LOL'

Yeah ....... When I wake them before 11:30.

Jim tell Sheila Just is talking about her.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Now you know we'd make a good team. LOL!

I agree. : )

You do such a good job of finding the right stuff - you really don't need me for that!
I can move an arm and a leg or a tail or a wink and animate the name though if you need me!Well, move my tail! Oh, you've already done that. LOL

I'll always need you.

I mean,.....

.....if my tail stopped working I'd be in big trouble!

Ooops! LouieWolf's tail, that is. : )

[Mama_Bear]

I already told Mama_Bear she couldn't feature you.

Yes, and Mama Bear is pouting, big time! LOL!!! ;-)

You would be the best one to do it anyway Billie, you are much better at this than I am. I doubt I could do louie justice. LOL! I can't wait to see "Louie" day. :-)

[Billie]

I'm honored by your suggestion but.......
there's only 'one' King, and that's John.
I'll stick with LouieWolf, thank you. : )
Er....make that Louie, 'Prince' of Wolves.
I do like the *royalty* thing. LOL

Then you simply must have a crown, too, Louie, Prince of Wolves. :)

Prince Louie Wolf

[Billie]

Wishing you success, but not too much. Wouldn't want your head to get too big.

I thought you'd never get here. (or I'd never get to you) :)

You could always make me a new logo......with a bigger head. :)

You knew I was going to post this, didn't you? LOL

[Billie]

Hi, Blackie - where's your bike? :) Thanks for coming. Will you come back often - like......every day? :)

[Billie]

What teasing?! LOL!
