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.

Thank you, Katherine. I really don't see very much of YOU, and thanks again for the photo you sent for the November 11th thread. (Actually, I think your husband sent it, along with his.) :) You're so pretty!

Thanks for the ping. Of course I would love to come visit.
Haven't visited many of the threads lately - mainly following the
terrorist activity. Some of them are too slow to load for my computer.
Thanks all of you for being here and all you do. Nice to get to chat
with such people.

Thanks for writing back, J. I'm glad that you won't be affected by the fires. What a terrible thing to know that it's coming and there's really not much you can do except try and get as much personal stuff out as you can. I feel so sorry for them
Angelique, how about you? I know you're AZ - are you near the danger?

PING!
Just wanted you to check out Billie's new thread.
I don't have a 'ping' list....I promise. : )
To: ST.LOUIE1
Well, he is easy to love. LOL Thank you. : ) Now that would make a good debate. That is, if we could find one to argue your side. LOL!
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. : )
LOL! Not so! (But would you like to make a guest list who NOT to ping?) :)

I've had a full plate of stuff to do today, and just got caught up on some reading.
My heart and prayers go out to you, Teacup for the quick location and return of your grandson.
Thanks for the info and link, miss daisy.
To: Teacup; mini_teacup
So sorry about the baby - I just ran across the news of this late last night. You are in my prayers and my eyes will be open everywhere.

In all fairness, because I know how fair wolfie always tries to be (gads, that must be hard - always having to remember which one he showered with gifts last) LOL, I think when we 'do' the wolf, we should do it jointly! Fair enuff?!

To: Billie
Thank you for your concern. No, I am not, but it is so horrific. We all feel so helpless. The only thing to do is to donate.
Dittomom and I email all the time about updates. She is in AZ, also.
To: blackie
If anyone complains about your bike here, he'll have to answer to ME!!! I like that bike! LOL
I will call you every day, I promise. Bring your bike with you!

Um....I like Johhny's better. : )
Mine looks like a 'tinfoil' hat. LOL LOL! It does, doesn't it? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. Of course, it was much bigger, and the animals all over it were a lot more recognizable!
