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.

No Elvis suit....!

I have no idea what a boodlefight is!! My guess would be some sort of food fight with both officers and enlisted men taking part. I know what gedunks and boonies etc. are but boodlefight is a new one on me.

[Diver Dave]

Gosh, it's nice having two beauties fighting over me.

Happens to me all the time.

[daisyscarlett]

I was out running errands and guess what I heard on the radio?

Heard that W has unofficially let it be known to his Staff that he wants Osama bin Laden captured by the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks....Dead or Alive, I presume...What a day that will be....Oh boy oh boy oh boy....

I was at the P.O. and the lady next to me requested a book of stamps and the clerk said any particular ones and she said "Anything but the flag stamp-the flag stamp is so boring"...Well I gave her the worst look I could muster up--if looks could kill, that lady would no longer be with us....So happy to be back on FR with my fellow patriots and flag lovers....

[Mama_Bear]

I have no idea what a boodlefight is!!

I did a google search and found the definition....

Boodlefight - A Corps tradition where food is served free for all.

[daisyscarlett]

I love that picture of your dad is his Navy uniform-the good old uniform from my day....Loved the bell bottoms and the peacoats they used to wear...

[Mama_Bear]

Do you consider this "mussing the fur"?

[Iowa Granny]

Fantastic thread! Nice work.

[ST.LOUIE1]

thanks for the ping.. maybe you should START a ping list..
David

LOL! No thanks...I'll quit before I lose what friends I have.

Thanks for stopping by, Dave. Come on back, anytime. You're always welcome.

Hope things are well with you and the family. : )

I knew my competition couldn't keep quiet. : )

[Senator Pardek]

I'm doing great, save for the fact that what you said applies to me as well!

[ST.LOUIE1]

RE:267

Do you consider this "mussing the fur"?

Yes, ma'am, but what a nice 'mussing' it is!

Have any other little 'musses' to toss at me? : )

Uh-oh, sorry about that, but.......

when I get smooched...I return the favor. : )

(A 'Billie' creation, of course.) : )

[Billie]

Hi, Grammy Bear - I'm so glad you like the thread - your husband (Lori's dad) was so handsome! I can imagine the memories it must have brought back for you. See you tomorrow?

[Diver Dave]

I knew my competition couldn't keep quiet. : )

Actually, the number is greater than 2. I just didn't want you getting an inferiorority complex. :^)

[Billie]

:) :) Bring me some more thank you gifs when you can! LOL!

[deadhead]

Hi Daisy, Thank You so much for your kind words. Great seeing all the Freepers photos and their families. This is wonderful! This is a lovely tribute that Billie has put together, beautiful.

[Billie]

What a nice feeling you must have had! And they sound like a happy couple! Thanks for coming - hope you come back. :)

[Billie]

Stop bickering over me, girls.

Hey, Lori - I think we've already 'featured' the Louie Wolf today - we can move on to someone else now. LOL

[ST.LOUIE1]

I just didn't want you getting an inferiorority complex. :^)

Hmmmmm.....talkin' 'numbers are we?

Hang tight.....

...I'll have to check the chicks in my little black wolf book.

Bet you keep your numbers on a napkin. One here, one there. LOL

[Billie]

I'm glad you have enjoyed it, and thanks for posting your license plate! I enjoy having it on MY page even! But I wouldn't give up my bluebonnets!

Hope you stop in often. :)
