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!

[Cool Guy]

Thank you Billie :)

Thank you all for your kind words. I consider it lucky to have found this website and it has been my pleasure hanging around people like all y'all. Thank you for all the information that you bring here and for all the intelligent discussions we have here. Thank you for trying to keep this country a wonderful place and for contributing to this site, which I can call my home on the internet.

All the freepers who are going to be in Fresno this weekend, looking forward meeting you there.

Carolina, I am sure if you give me a few clues, I will be able to remove those spirit influenced brain cells and bring back the memories of meeting ya.
