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.

Julie,   Julie,   Julie!

She flies the Florida Flag, and flies it as proudly as she does Old Glory. Below is a recent photo of JulieRNR21 with Katherine Harris, taken at a neighborhood coffee for Ms. Harris' Congressional Campaign. Julie is very active in helping to get, and keep, the Republican candidates in office.

I first met Julie on another political board before either of us found FR. If you're fortunate enough to be on her mailing list, you won't miss a good article on FR, a poll that needs bumping, or a petition that needs to be signed. Julie has been affectionately dubbed "The General" by one of her good friends, ST.LOUIE1, because of this photo, right, which was used in a collage for another thread. (BTW, Louie says she's the only one in all of FReeRepublic who can keep him in line.) : )

And psssssst! here's something else I just learned as I was getting the link to her profile page:

JULIE IS A FOUR YEAR OLD FREEPER TODAY!

It's Your Day, Julie! Have a great one!

THIS WEEK'S THREADS

07-01-02 Veterans Group 9

[ST.LOUIE1]

Well I found some pictures of Oksana, Miss Universe, but I was afraid if I posted them, Billie would lose her PG Rating Medal that Louie gave her..
..So here is a link to Oksana (may be close to an R rating)

Ahhhhhh-Roooooo!!!!!!

Oops! Pardon me, Ms. daiseyscarlett.

Ol' LouieWolf took over my body for a split sec. : )

What a beauty! Thanks.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Sorry the fish weren't biting "there"; they were biting "here".
In fact, Mr. Daisy brought home some catfish filets for me to pan fry tonight....Let's see what shall we have with them..
..Maybe some coleslaw, baked potato, hushpuppies, corn on the cob and strawberry shortcake with whipped cream for dessert.
.....There's plenty. Would you like to join us?

Why, I'd be deeeeeelighted! Thank you ma'am. : )

Uh....I don't care much for whipped cream or baked potato. Could I just have double servings of the rest?

[MinuteGal]

Congratulations on your 4th "birthday" as a Freeper, Julie. The perfect occasion to be recognized for your tireless efforts in the Conservative Cause as embodied in FreeRepublic.

As Bogie said to Captain Renault, "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship". That's how I felt when we met over lunch on the beach in Sarasota. I know I will always have a dear friend and comPATRIOT in you. Let's do it again sometime!

Better yet, hope we meet again on the Freeper cruise in spring. A leisurely lunch on deck in a balmy Caribbean port sounds FRantastic to me!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Oh lodieeeeeeee!

Just don't tell Billie.

Anyway, 'daisy' started it. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Can you come out and play? : )

[whoever]

It can't get better than that, daisy.

Enough for seconds? You do such a fantastic job with catfish. Always cooked perfectly and presented beautifully.

[Mama_Bear]

Can you come out and play? : )

Oh, I would love to, but I have a dinner invitation. After dinner, maybe I can play for awhile - if you're still here. :-)

[Billie]

Oh, I never heard that - that is so sad.

[Billie]

Shhhhh, sometimes he gets this way. It's really kinda refreshing - let's hope he doesn't come to. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Besides, looks like you are playin' just fine without me. ;-)

[whoever]

We never do 'fine' without you. We may get along, but not 'fine'. Please hurry over when you can. I miss you. I need my bear-fix.

[Billie]

Hey there, easy rider. You know you're getting special pings, don't you?!

Just a reminder to Lori and Daisy, if I ever forget. :)

[Billie]

February 9, 2001?! Okay! Happy Anniversary to you, too! LOL Thanks for being here!

[Mama_Bear]

We never do 'fine' without you. We may get along, but not 'fine'. Please hurry over when you can. I miss you. I need my bear-fix.

Well, if that isn't one of the nicest compliments I've ever had! I think you just made my day. :-)

[Billie]

Good one, who!

[Billie]

But then, there's always lodwick who finds the pretty ones. :)

[Billie]

We're waiting for you to

tell us, tell us, tell us, tell us, tell us...............:)

[Billie]

LOL! We finally get to see Oksana?! And it's only a link?!

[Billie]

Ouch! Headache! Hi, Ragtime!

You got it - I'm so stick-thin, I NEED that cake!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Can you come out and play? : )

Oh, I would love to, but I have a dinner invitation. After dinner, maybe I can play for awhile -
if you're still here. :-)

Hmmmmm....eatin' on the 'cheap', huh? : )

I may be here...maybe not.

Billie may delete me after posting Oxana's pic. LOL
