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.

Yes, thanks. When Spooky gets riled up she really puts it right out there, and does it well.

Great message from Eric via a rightfully proud Mama.
As we were taught in Evangelism classes, Be unafraid to share the Gospel (Good News). All GOD asks is that we be the messenger and leave the results up to Him.
Sounds like Eric is up to the task.
To: lodwick; SpookBrat
Well said Spookie! You go girl!
To: Diver Dave
As we were taught in Evangelism classes, Be unafraid to share the Gospel (Good News). All GOD asks is that we be the messenger and leave the results up to Him.Exactly, Dave!
This is a quote from Eric's letter to his older siblings...."This experience has already brought me closer to the Lord. I'm preachin' the Gospel and I ain't ashamed!"
Just a disclaimer that the bad grammar is for effect! He doesn't really talk that way! LOL!
To: Diver Dave
I have been out running errands and listening to Dr. Laura on the car radio. Guess this does not apply to private schools as she read an article urging all Americans to take their children out of the public schools and either homeschool them or send them to private religious schools. Article said leave the public schools to the atheist and let them argue over condom training and all that other nonsense that goes on there. Sounded good to me...
To: JustAmy
That joke was not dumb...it was adorable....But probably closer to truth than fiction on the LA freeways...

Lori, I sent you the link in FR mail to this pledge graphic I just put together with daisy's beautiful flag vignette and a background I found to go with it. Posting it here to see what you think. :)

Thanks who....Worth repeating:

Hi Tonk. Thanks for stopping in and your nice post to Rintense...The Dose is not her only accomplishment on FR, but that is the one we chose to honor her for today...
To: Billie
That is just beautiful, Billie! I like it very much.
Do you want to keep it for the threads that you post, or do you want me to use it too? I guess since you sent me the link to the graphic, that you intend for me to use it also. I asked lodwick if I could use his Pledge graphic, and he graciously said yes. I will use either one, it is up to you. :-)
To: Mo1; lodwick
Hi, Mo - good to see you here today.
What, if I may ask you two, is a VI-free zone?! I'm glad we are, but don't know what it is!

I still don't understand the purpose/advantage(?) of the Word Wrap, since it automatically wraps the words when you preview. (doesn't it?) I guess I don't understand why one would want it OFF, Jim!

What a beautiful picture of the restaurant with the mountains in the background.
Need more information about your new seasoning spice. Didn't you have a helpful hint about how much to use-or not use-since it has a bit of garlic in it?
To: Billie
The Pledge graphic looks Great from here - super. Thanks.

What, if I may ask you two, is a VI-free zone?! I'm glad we are, but don't know what it is! LOL .. well I have small kiddies who like to play with the neighborhood kiddies .. problem is the are ALWAYS at my house because they like to trash it and break everything they touch
I've tried to hide from them but they live in my front bushes because EVERY time I open the front door .. out they pop trying to get in my house
Oh did I mention that they only know how to scream .. I mean the ear piercing scream .. that makes a person what to run for their lives .. LoL
So that is why I call the neighborhood kiddies the Village Idiots .. VI's for short
Loddy has had the pleasure of listening to my rants about them for a while now and seems to get a chuckle out of it .. LOL
BTW .. I don't post post here but I have lurked and I just wanted to say what a great job you and everyone do with this Thread ..

Thanks Julie. Rintense is a special lady. In glancing over what I posted abouher and the Dose at the beginning of this thread, I realize I made a mistake. She started the Dose shortly after the Election of W, not the Inauguration. I think it really took off when she posted all those wonderful pictures of Laura and W at the Balls.
Ohio if you are still here, how about a repost of one of your (and mine) favorite shots-Laura and W dancing, staring at each other with such adoration and love....Thanks..
