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.

ONE OF FREE REPUBLIC'S FINEST

RINTENSE

(aka Republican Warrior Princess)

Rintense has been posting a Daily Thread - "A Day in the Life of President Bush" - since shortly after the Inauguration last year. This thread enjoyed almost instantaneous success and has affectionately been dubbed "The Dose".

The Dose begins with a summary of the President's Day, followed by a quote of the day and then photos taken of the President that day. Rintense downloads these photos (mostly from Yahoo and the WH Website) and posts them for all of us to see. She also provides comments along the way and replies to posters. The thread is informative, educational, humorous and poignant. It is posted in the early evening and many of us cannot retire for the night till we have had our Daily Dose of W.

If you have not already done so, do check out the Dose link here. If you like what you see, send Rintense a freep mail and she will put you on her ping list.

Take a bow, Rintense. You have created and maintained a valuable and popular thread and you are ONE OF FREE REPUBLIC'S FINEST.

..Eric asked us to pray for him, that he would be shielded from the language, and the sexual jokes, and that he would remain strong, but he also asked for prayer for the guys he's witnessing to, that they would understand their need for Christ. He's absolutely sure that he's where God wants him to be, and he's having a great time! PRAISE THE LORD!! ..

He, (and you all) has been on my prayer list, but I will now add this special request, as well.

You must be, and certainly have every reason to be, very proud of your fine son. What an example he is.

I pray that God will use him and bless him during his service to our Country.

Thanks for the fine job you did.

[ST.LOUIE1]

I love your *stupid* jokes.

They're a ray of Sunshine!

Like you. : )

[ohioWfan]

How fortunate for America that he is where he is - but how tough for you......He is what our country is all about.

Yes, tough for me, FWI, but much easier knowing he's so happy! (And two weeks of the first nine are over!! Yessss!!!)

Thanks for the prayers and support lodwick and MamaBear! I figure there's a parallel between the military and heaven........you feel a whole lot differently about it when you know and love someone who's there! :o)

My prayers for the men and women who serve in the military (and their families) have certainly intensified since Eric joined!

[ohioWfan]

I pray that God will use him and bless him during his service to our Country.

Thank you, whoever!!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Ooooops! Sorry, 'who'.

"stupid jokes" wasn't yours.

I do LOVE your STORIES! : )

[lodwick]

Here's some happy looking eggs with more steak.

[JulieRNR21]

Thanks for your ping, Louie! The 'General' is happy to join in the festivities!

This is a much deserved tribute to rintense who created the 'Daily Dose' which is the perfect 'nightcap thread' for so many of us Bush Babes!

Congratulations to rintense! Your Daily Dose is my most favorite continuing thread!

And thank you Billie for this special thread. There are so many amazing people on FR....that deserve special recognition and IMHO you picked a real winner today!

[JulieRNR21]

OOOPS....my apologies....I just realized it was you who did today's thread! You have made an excellent choice today!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Two of nine over! Pretty soon you will be saying "SevenofNine" ..... :-) are over!

Yes, glad to know he is happy there and knows he is right were he needs to be!!!

[ohioWfan]

Pretty soon you will be saying "SevenofNine" ..... :-)

LOL! Indeed I will!

[whoever]

..."stupid jokes" wasn't yours. ..

Hey, fella. I like my stupid jokes and I want credit for them.

Take it back, please.

(Hi, SAINT)

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you for posting this here. Spookbrat did a great job expressing EXACTLY how I feel.

BTW, I will be posting a flag graphic and the Pledge of Allegience in Post #1 tomorrow when I start the thread. That is an excellent idea. Is it okay if I use the one you posted earlier - post #74?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Thanks for your ping, Louie!
The 'General' is happy to join in the festivities!

I'm happy when the 'General' is happy. : )

Thanks for coming in, Julie.

rintense is a *winner*.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Julie! Long time no see. Glad you are here. :-)

.........

[lodwick]

I thought that Spookie's blast deserved WIDE coverage for saying exactly what I've been thinking.

Don't even think about asking if you can use anything I manage to liberate from my web wanderings. Of course you, or anyone else can.

Can't create - so I liberate. ;-)

[ST.LOUIE1]

..."stupid jokes" wasn't yours. ..

Hey, fella. I like my stupid jokes and I want credit for them.
Take it back, please.

Okay. You post the most 'stupid' jokes to be found on the net, 'who'.

And I LOVE every one of them. How's that? : )

(Hi, SAINT)

I'm glad you still think I am. LOL

Hi, who. Always a pleasure seeing/not seeing you. : )

[Mama_Bear]

Can't create - so I liberate. ;-)

LOL! Thanks. :-)

[whoever]

Aww, thanks, lodwick.

Now where is that bottle of Tabasco sauce?

[Mama_Bear]

Hi whoever. I also enjoy your posts very much. Keep them coming. :-)

[lodwick]

Wow - some like it HOT.

When available, I use pico de gallo as my zip of choice.
