A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 7-03-02

Posted on 07/02/2002 11:41:30 PM PDT by daisyscarlett








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"

How do you spell FUN? How do you spell FUNNY? How do you spell GENEROUS? How do you spell CHIVALROUS? How do you spell SENSITIVE? How do you spell PATRIOT? How do you spell CONSERVATIVE? How do you spell PROUD TEXAN?

Well, some of us spell it L-O-D-W-I-C-K

Lodwick is a mostly daytime FReeper. He spreads his charm around to many threads including, but not limited to, The Guild, The Canteen, and The Freeoples. His FReeping is often in competition with The List (things to do, often requested by Mrs. L.), with FReeping usually winning out, at least until shortly before Mrs. Lodwick returns home. His contributions to the threads include photos, food preparation tips, product information and a whole lot of caring and sharing. He is also old-fashion chivalrous, often coming to the rescue when a FReeper is rude or obnoxious to a lady and demands that said disruptor behave as a gentleman or leave.

.

He is an enthusiastic fundraiser, participating in the Quarterly Fund Raising Event (aka the Freepathon). In fact, his Profile Page includes this statement: "Becoming very upset that more folks are not pulling their weight by donating monthly to support the finest conservation website on the internet." He espouses this view often in his daily postings. Currently, he is working hard to BRING BABY BILLY HOME.

Lodwick, you are a FRiend to many of us and brighten our days. Your generous contributions to various efforts have made a difference in many lives.

We Love Ya, Bud. Enjoy your day in the spotlight.

Outstanding Miss Daisy. A wonderful tribute to One of the Finest.

Congratulations JL. You've earned the honor. Now take a bow, and another, and another. This could go on all day. Hope you have some BenGay after all the curtain calls you are going to be taking.

FRIENDS

Good friends are hard to find in this world of strife,
And should be cherished each day of your life.
Truth is, friends can be fun,
When all is said and done.

They impress you with fascinating charms,
And welcome you with open arms.
They lend an ear and give an encouraging word.
And they tell stories that you've never heard.

Friends are like rare jewels, indeed.
They encourage you to succeed.
They give you words of praise,
And show they care in many ways.

They open their heart to you;
Their compassion is pure and true.
They make you laugh during your hurt and fears.
They help you cry when there are no more tears.

They are always there with love to share,
When burdens of life are hardest to bear.
They lift you up when you are down,
And share a smile when you have a frown.

What a spiritual experience God has created...
When the bonds of friendship are permeated.
Such a wonderful way for your soul to be fed...
And with true friends, you'll not be misled.

They are there in your hour of need;
That's why friends are special indeed.
So... show your friends how much you care;
Tell them that you too will be there.

Now's the time to express appreciation
To them for such a wonderful relation.
Open up to your dearest friends old or new,
And tell them just how much they mean to you.

Tell them they have a special place in your heart,
And that it would hurt you if you ever did part.
Expressions of love and friendship cannot wait,
Tell them today, for tomorrow might be too late.

I will tell you today, lodwick, I am proud that you are my friend.

Enjoy YOUR day, Sir. You certainly deserve the limelight.

THE BRAVE, THE TRIED, THE TRUE

When you see the flag unfolding,
Gently waving in the air;
Look closely at the stars and stripes,
And you will see them there.

In the red, you see the blood they shed,
So our country could be free;
Each life who gave is in the stripe
That speaks of liberty.

In the white you see the valor,
Of those we won't forget;
The pristine clearness of each stripe,
A silent witness to each Vet.

And there behind the fifty stars,
A solemn field of blue;
A tribute to the tears we shed,
For the brave, the tried, the true.

So, when you see the stars and stripes,
The red, the white, the blue;
Remember those it represents,
The brave, the tried, the true.
