A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 07-08-02

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.

Show Me The Money!
       

You see a lot of this guy for about a week to 10 days....four times a year. You can't get away from him. He's at the top of your mailbox, the top of your comments page....he's everywhere! You watch that little red bar crawl across the page.....39%.....46%......51%....we're halfway there, folks ......69% .......85% ........96% ......come on, FReepers, we're almost there .........99%
.........100%! YOU DID IT!



BadJoe on CNN, delivering his award-winning essay at the March for Justice in Washington, D.C. October 31, 1998.
BadJoe is one of FR's biggest cheerleaders, having been around since February of 1998. Remember the Pool Poopy thread? LOL One of the very first get-togethers that FR had, at JimRob's house.....it lasted for 40 days and 40 nights. (no, not really!) That party, as well as the photos that Jim posted are still being talked about, though the thread and the photos are long gone down the Memory Hole. :)

BadJoe was at that party. When many local chapters of FR were being organized, Joe was there to help in any way. FR's Jim Robinson has thousands of FReeper FRiends all over the country, but none any better than BadJoe. If he's needed anywhere, count on it......he'll be there. Thanks, Joe, for being one of FR's Finest..... today and every day.


Today's Your Day, BadJoe! Have a great one!



You didn't think I'd forget your beautiful boss WillaJohns, did you?

Fresh garden vegetables....lucky you....I'll bet you have some yummy tomatoes..I love tomato sandwiches.....And homemade vegetable soup. I have vivid memories of visiting my grandma in the summer in S.C. and going to the garden with her and picking the corn, tomatoes, green beans etc and coming in the house and making a big pot of vegetable soup.

Hi! I'm still up. My tomatoes aren't ripe yet, it's unusual because they are usually ripe by the 4th. I've been putting up white half runners (green beans) and bush beans (wide green beans) there is a big crop of those this year. My squash and peppers are coming in now also. I have some cucumbers, okra and peas that haven't come in yet though.

I also meant to say what nice memories you have of your grandma in S.C. I also make soup mix with the produce from the garden and freeze it for the winter. It's so nice in the winter to be able to get a taste of the summer that way.

It is unusual that the tomatoes aren't in yet. I always associate the 4th of July with the tomatoes coming in in the South. Good on you for the okra-my granny always put that in the soup, too. I also like okra fried with a cornmeal batter....Only eat it when I am in the South, though...

This thread brought tears to my eyes. All those bright and shining faces of our freeper men and women in uniform, "past, present and future."

Thank you Billie!!!

Nice profile of BadJoe, Billie. Enjoyed reading about his work here at FR and the comments made by his buddies.

Missed you today, MB, but know you are so very busy getting ready for the Fresno tailgater this weekend....Can't wait to hear all about that....

See you all tomorrow.....

DON'T SHOOT!!!

There is not an intruder in the wreck rec room - 'tis just LadyX slipping in under the radar screen to tidy up!

Can't have The Mayor see the mess the Night Crew left..:)))

Mr_Magoo said he would arrive early with freshly made doughnuts - plain (for me), jelly-filled, powdered sugar, cream-filled, some with chocolate frosting, and curlers - um, crullers.

Daisy - where in South Carolina did your grandmother live?
My mother was from this state, her father and both grandfathers ministers, so she lived all over SC.
I'm retired, and on the west side in Barnwell.
Both sisters (although we grew up in Florida) married SC men and I have nieces and nephews in the state.
(Hey! Maybe we're cousins or something!!)

Night all...God bless ~ ~ ~
