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?

Razorback just sent this card he picked up in Roswell, NM on Friday, and thought all you guys would get a kick out of it! (Ok, the girls will, too!)

And the back of the card.....

Hi, 'nad - of course, send me the story why your trip was cancelled - is the house still available though? I hope so.

Our weekend was good - always ready for the holidays to end, though! Guess I'm wierd that way. :)

Good morning, Dave! I wish that I had saved those photos from the Pool Poopy thread because there were so many of them, and it was the first time we really got to see some of the FReepers we've been 'talking' to.

Billie do you remember the " just check in veterans" post I think it was July fourth weekend 98 or 99? I found it on an old hardrive the other day and now trying to figure out how to make copies and get them posted. The entire thread printed out 28 single space pages.

Thanks, JL - was fun to get to use that March for Justice photo again, too! I think most of the photos have disappeared - most of them having been saved at Photo Point, which went poof in the night! :)

What a great tribute to one of Free Republic's Legends. I will never, ever forget the March for Justice...I watched it on t.v. and hung onto every word.

"I am a damn handsome chap, if I do have to say so myself."

You definitely do not "have to say so yourself"-you are "damned" handsome and you and the Mrs. are a lovely couple.
