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.

Do send Aqua some Willie links, Billie. Conway too but he can wait. Willie has more of a universal appeal than Conway, lol... Do you think W will ever have him to the White House to entertain or even to Crawford to entertain?
To: Aquamarine
Ok - Willie's about to visit your mailbox. I don't have any Conway Twitty.
Thanks for the two thumbs up!

Ahem! Ditto! I am not going anywhere near that.
Billie, if you want me to work with you on Louie's day, I will be happy to, but it really isn't necessary. Honest, I won't feel left out. :-)
To: Billie
Great thread, Billie!! I saw the picture of my husband who was Mama_Bears Dad, and it brought back a lot of memories. That picture was taken in Guam about 1953 when we were stationed there for two years.
To: Senator Pardek
Hey - in the old days, you had a smile when you skipped rope! Well I was YOUNGER then, silly. And 10 lbs. lighter of course.
Hi, how are you doing? :)

Ahem!Sorry. : (
I know you meant no double entendre.
For a minute there I thought I was on that 'other' thread. LOL!
To: Dog
What do you mean be nice??
I am always nice...
:-) LOL! Yeah, I guess you are. I just can't decide if you need to wear the zoot suit when I put you in the spotlight or not. :)

Thanks Billie! I saw a license plate at Wal Mart the other day as we were walking into the store. The couple stopped as we crossed in front of them (me with my three munchkins in tow. The woman in the passenger seat waved and smiled at my little 2 yr old. I chuckled. Older folks are always so taken by little ones...Then I saw the plate. "WWII Vet" and suddenly I got this big lump in my throat. I just feel my heart swell with gratitude and profound respect when I see something like that... and here they were, a couple of normal people, waving at my kids and smiling.
I'm probably not making much sense, but the two things just really seemed to get to me that day!
To: daisyscarlett
Yes, we are lucky to have them in charge at this time.
Kerry was on Meet the Press yesterday morning, and I wanted to slap him every time he opened his mouth. :)

Stop bickering over me, girls.
Gosh, it's nice having two beauties fighting over me.
AhhhhhRoooooo!!
Oh....and don't muss the fur. LOL!

Excellent Billie! You are a very talented lady :-) This is a great thread, Love the pictures. Am thrilled that my Dad is part of this. Bumping for all Dads. Thank You so much, I just had to post this:
To: Grammy Bear
Say since you were in Guam do you by any chance know what a Boodlefight is? I am posting a picture taken in the Phillipines where a mucky muck General was celebrating with the troops in the Phillipines with a 'Boodlefight".
Lori has good genes and I am happy that Billie provoked good memories for you..Thank you for your time spent as a Military Spouse....
Brig. Gen. Donald Wurster, center, eats with his bare hands as he joins in a "Boodlefight" during a celebration of the Philippine Marines and Navy special forces at Navy headquarters in the southern port city of Zamboanga on Saturday June 22, 2002. The troops celebrated their success in their operations against the Abu Sayyaf group, led by Abu Sabaya, who was presumed dead after a clash at sea with U.S.-trained soldiers Friday.

I am sure he would prefer a Zoot suit over an Elvis suit, lol. If I remember correctly, he does not love ELVIS! (Or did I get that wrong and he is a big Elvis fan? It is one or the other-he either loves him or hates him).
To: ST.LOUIE1
thanks for the ping.. maybe you should START a ping list..
