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!

Amy's mom passed away this morning. Very sad news. She has a tribute with photos on her profile page. It's very sweet - beautiful photos. She wants all to see them.

Lori posted a link and a note on the Fresno Freep thread today.

[ST.LOUIE1]

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

Psssst.......I did.

AhhhhRooooo! Helloooooo you gorgeous thing!

That goes for you, too...'who'. : )

[Prodigal Son]

Check out posts number 172 and 176 :-) I think 176 is probably funnier.

I'll post another one tomorrow.

[ST.LOUIE1]

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

But you are always on my mind....you are always on my mind...lalalala : )

I sing better than Willy. : )

[Billie]

Well, she is very beautiful. Now, guys, please let's don't lose than Nanny rating!

[gwmoore]

Why thanks, whoever for the ping!! I have been somewhat busy and haven't been able to post as much as I would like to.

Thanks for Keeping the Faith for Freedom

Greg

[Billie]

I preferred 172 to 176. :)

[whoever]

So good to see you here. We are here waiting everyday. Please see if you can make it a habit. OK?

[Mama_Bear]

But you are always on my mind....you are always on my mind...lalalala : )

I sing better than Willy. : )

LOL! Well, I don't know about that, but you're cuter than Willy, for sure! ;-)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Well, she is very beautiful.
Now, guys, please let's don't lose than Nanny rating!

Hmmmm....I don't recall seeing the 'Nanny" on this thread.

Not to worry, we'll be good.

Sure we will. LOL

Well, I'll be good....don't know about the other two.

Notice you didn't jump on 'daisy'. : (

[Mama_Bear]

Here is the link to the Memorial Page for Amy's mother.

[ST.LOUIE1]

I sing better than Willy. : )

LOL! Well, I don't know about that, but you're cuter than Willy, for sure! ;-)

Heck, that's not much of a compliment...

...everybody's better lookin' than Willy. LOL

[Mama_Bear]

Heck, that's not much of a compliment... ...everybody's better lookin' than Willy. LOL

LOL!!!! I know! (Careful you almost got me snorfing in public again, LOL!.) :-)

[Billie]

I didn't jump on any of you! Daisy's was a link anyway. :) I said she is very beautiful! Nothing wrong with that photo, guys! But let's don't get carried away! :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

LOL!!!! I know!
(Careful you almost got me snorfing in public again, LOL!.) :-)

Snorf!!!!!

[Billie]

Hi, Greg, I'm glad to see you here. Thanks for coming.

[ST.LOUIE1]

I didn't jump on any of you! Daisy's was a link anyway. :) I said she is very beautiful!

Yes, you did. : )

Nothing wrong with that photo, guys! But let's don't get carried away! :)

You're right, BillieBlue. Guys do tend to get carried away. Sorry. : (

It won't happen again.

You have a nice thread....we'll keep it that way.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

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

Heehee...I did add a few extra pixels to your width, post-cake pic and all. (^:

That elephant smashing donkey pic was courtesy of the Broward County Gop website....inspired by the chad lunacy? Lee County NEEDS a web site for the locals...we've a serious Rat infestation goin' on at our TV/cable, radio and newspapers. Anyone with $$$, free time, talent...looking for a good fight (winnable), wannabe a Chief? We've plenty of Indians. We need someone like....Julie!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hope that one didn't offend anyone- I don't think it did. Wait till I have to start reaching into my bag of jokes I learned in the military ;-)

I think 'we' just got spanked by our hostess. Your joke....my pic.

Best not be diggin' into that bag.

I like it here. : )

[whoever]

We like y'all here too. Wouldn't know what to do without you. You make my world turn.
