A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 07-09-02

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.

Who's the Coolest Guy of All?













Cool Guy, FReeper since May 20, 1999, engagingly funny, entertaining, all-around nice guy....... and hero! On at least one occasion when FR was down and would require several hours driving time for John Robinson to fix the problem, Cool Guy was there on the spot, being 'walked through' step by step by John on what to do to get it running again.

At the FReeper Inauguration Ball in Washington DC last year, Cool Guy grabbed the spotlight at one time with a dance later dubbed the "Cool Guy Shuffle", and when the photos were posted to the forum after everyone returned home, Registered immediately siezed upon that photo! :) This is the result:

Everybody Get Down With Cool Guy's "Clinton's Out of the *&$%#@^ White House" Shuffle



It's YOUR day, Cool Guy....I Hope You Dance!

Thanks for the ping

The Marine Prayer

Almighty Father, whose command is over all and whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones, and Thee without shame or fear. Protect my family.

Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance. Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my Country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Help me to wear my uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold.

If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer

Howdy Dear Cool Guy

Sorry, I'm a day late for your big "DAY" celebration and a well earned one at that. You know that I think so highly of you Cool Guy. Many Hugs :-)

Billie, thanks for remembering me. IMO, you and Snow Bunny are the salt of the earth. I surely hope to meet you both sometime. Thanks soooo much for all your kindnesses.

We were thrilled to be eye witnesses of the "Cool Guy Shuffle" at the Tailgate Party yesterday in Fresno. Cool Guy dumped ice cold water on the unsuspecting heads of several FReepers and he's getting a reputation as a TROUBLEMAKER!! (But we love him anyway.) For victory & freedom!!!
