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.

Good morning, mud. Coffee? Black, of course (you can post that link here!) :)

[Aquamarine]

Are you up for requests today? How about a little Conway Twitty.....

Conway Twitty!!! Now you're talkin...;-)

Click on the pic.

[dcwusmc]

Bump and thanks for your work and your kind words!

[Mama_Bear]

Your page is coming up just fine for me. Looks great. I don't know why you can't see it when you click on your name. Try this:

[ST.LOUIE1]

Kudos, Billie! A beautiful, and heart warming thread.

Here's wishing you mucho success!

LouieWolf. : )

"Bump for my dad!

"Hi, Howlin. Bump for your dad, and deadhead's dad, and viligantcitizen's granddad, and all the other ones, too. Hope to see you again!

Thanks for the ping, Billie.

I just love the way you recomposed the graphics for this thread. It is a very worthy tribute.

Big bump to all who have served and those who love them.

And a big bump for you Billie, you are an angel.

[JustAmy]

Hey ...... You are amazing! All it took was a post to you asking what I was doing wrong and Waalla, its working.

[Billie]

Thank you, my fellow Texan. We'll BE here every day, so hope you will, too. At any rate, those photos in the middle section are here to stay - only hope to add more to them! Who knows who/what will be in the last section? I have tomorrow's surprise already done! LOL

[daisyscarlett]

Now here is an idea that might get me in trouble but...how about Billie and Louie both do a signature graph for mtngirl? She needs at least two, IMO....hee hee

[ST.LOUIE1]

I guess this means I need to design a profile page! LOL

Well, what are you waiting for? Music? LOL!

[Billie]

Good morning, GG, and thank you so much! Would love for you to send a photo to add to the military group. :)

[Mama_Bear]

I forgot to mention ...... thank you so much for promoting our rally and tailgate party in Fresno.

We want all FReepers in good standing to know they are invited. It it shaping up to be the place to be this July 12th and 13th. Lots troop-supporting flag waving on Friday and on Saturday, great food and good FReeping fun.

Manana, mi amiga...MUD

[Billie]

Do check out the lady in Lodwick's picture..the one on the right. She is enjoying something, but it is not the game...love that photo...

I noticed her! Do we know her? She's standing awfully close to President Bush, but who can blame her?!

[Billie]

Great to see YOU, dixie! Been a while - thanks for coming and please do come back! We may cast some movie roles or something......with FReepers. :)

[Billie]

Oh, thank you, Texasgirl! And thanks for bringing some of your friends that I might not have called! Ya'll come back, you hear? :)

[daisyscarlett]

Loved listening to Conway picking and strumming but do you have one of him singing, too....Not too demanding, am I...lol....

[ST.LOUIE1]

I can't part with any of my 'signatures by Louie'. mntgrl needs a signature but she does not know Louie well enought to ask.
Do you think we could ask him?

'mntgrl' must be a shy one. : )

Louie: If you see a patriotic country girl, remember mtngrl!!

Of course! : )

Good morning, Princess. : )

[Billie]

Bluegrass will work fine! It's surprising to me that it's making sort of a comeback. I never cared for it particularly, but after "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou" I changed my mind!

Tapping my foot to John Henry!

Hmmmmm.....I usually work alone but....

sounds like a winner! : )
