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 saying 'Sheila' is *cranky*? LOL'Yeah ....... When I wake them before 11:30.
I see, you're waking them 'both'....not just Jim.
You deserve being cranked at. LOL

I know Jim's not cranky. He's a 'Prince'.
Er.....Jim, is now a good time to ask for 'music' for our profiles? : )

Stop that! You're both very, very good.

Hi, so good to see you! Don't be overwhelmed - I think it's so fantastic to see how many FReepers we have that are now or were in the military, and I hope I hear from more, so I can add them.
I've added the last three groups since the November 11th Veteran's Day Tribute. That's probably about 3 dozen additional photos. :)
Hope to see you here again. :)

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! And HERE, too, Lori! I can always expect to see something out of kilter when I preview my thread for the first time! Surprisingly, this one was pretty easy - it put a paragraph between the tables, and it took the bold off the text in the paragraph about you cookie munchers, but other than that, IT WORKED! I'll send you the text file via email if you want me too, or if you'd rather just view source and copy it. Let me know, ok?

RE:177
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. :) LOL!!!! Leave it to the *Queen* of graphics.
Um....I like Johhny's better. : )
Mine looks like a 'tinfoil' hat. LOL
To: Billie
I'll send you the text file via email if you want me too. That would probably be a good idea, then I would have it saved in my e-mail. Thanks.
I need to run some errands, I'll be back later.
To: lodwick; Senator Pardek
LOL! That's a good question! I don't know any fat people, though! At least, not on FR. On FR, everyone's slim, trim and beautiful........:)Or at least trying to get there....puff, puff! :)
I know you have a crush on this photo of me, Senator. :)

New Daily Thread by Billie PING
Stop by and check it out and say Hi.
"I know there are many daily threads on FR, and FReepers seem to settle in and get comfortable on different ones for various reasons. I hope that you will all feel comfortable here and look forward to seeing who the "Freeper of the Day" is, or just come by to say hi every day to our own wonderful veterans and active military men and women.
I would especially like to thank Mama_Bear and daisyscarlett for agreeing to help me with future threads, because I know I can't do this alone, and Jim Robinson again for giving us its 'home', and many, many others for your encouragement and support. I love you to pieces! Billie"
To: Mama_Bear
Yes, and Mama Bear is pouting, big time! LOL!!! ;-)
You don't sound like it. : (LOL! Well, I didn't want Billie to think I was really pouting.
I think she knows. : )
Is this better? ..... Mama_Bear throwing a fuzzy fit!
My gosh! Remind me not to make you angry! LOL!
To: ST.LOUIE1
PING!
Just wanted you to check out Billie's new thread.
I don't have a 'ping' list....I promise. : )And I don't give many hugs on FR either, but thank you again......for all the beautiful .....AND....the cute gifs you've given me, including this hug! LOL!
