A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 07-02-02

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!

McCollum didn't run a strong campaign and Nelsen was better known within the state.

Connie Mack was the best....he is sorely missed!

There was one right after I got off watch and was in the monthly Auxiliary meeting.
BTW I led the Pledge of Allegiance at the meeting.
I'll be on radio watch on the 4th from 7:30AM-after the local fireworks stop.

Congratulations, Mr. Tonk, I am sure that made your heart swell. Do you get a good seat for the fireworks, too. Sounds like it would be quite a sight.

No, I'll be in the radio room ion watch.
With heightend security on the 4th,
lots of boat traffic and shortage of personnell on the base
my being there is more important than any fireworks display I might have see.

What a beautiful tribute on your profile page. You resemble your mother, you know. Probably in more ways than we will ever know. It is a tough time, JA, a very tough time. God will be near you and He will comfort you. His peace far surpasses any other. He will wrap His loving arms around you every time you remember your dear mother.

We are here and we are your family. We care.

I wish I had your way with words. You write so beautifully. :-)

This bear is tired. Time to turn in here. Good night, who. Good night, all.

It makes one feel kinda warm and fuzzy... :o)

Oopps, left out a bit of a sentence...
Thank you so much for the work you did on your Gettysburg post. Truly a solid example of the use of multimedia for educational purposes in the best sense of the word. With your permission, I would like to do a bit of cut and paste and distill out your exceptional post into a stand alone html doc. Not for distribution, just for my personal archives. Do you have a preformated version you might send me? Private email me if you do. Again, stunning work! Thanks again.
