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.

If you have not had the pleasure of meeting this amazing woman in person or on the
threads, please allow me to introduce her. This is FReeper and activist Saundra Duffy.
Saundra is the President of the Fresno/Central Valley Chapter of FreeRepublic, but,
as dedicated as she is to this website, you may not see her here often. Saundra is
a very busy woman. If she is not going to a FReep, she is probably coming from one.
Saundra and her bullhorn seem to be EVERYWHERE!

I wish I could tell you about every rally she has attended and every event that
she has organized, but the list would be endless. So I will just say; whether she is
confronting the "pro-terrorists" from FResno's FReeper Island, or "educating" the
misinformed liberal crowd in Sacramento, Saundra puts 100% of her heart and soul into
supporting her cause. This woman is unstoppable; she will go where angels fear to tread!

She and her husband, "lager" (a dedicated FReeper in his own right), make
quite a team as they carry the banner of freedom and liberty throughout the
California Central Valley. Those who know her will recognize her signature motto...

"For victory and freedom!"



Click below to see Saundra in action at the...
"Post-Inaugural Victory Brunch",
a Modesto "Condit FReep", and at a
FResno "Support our Troops" Rally.

And, to read more about her many activities,
rallies and demonstrations, visit Saundra’s
PROFILE PAGE.

Saundra, I have said before and will say again .... I don't EVER want to be on the
receiving end of your bullhorn! We should all thank our lucky stars that you are on
OUR side! I know of no one more passionate, or dedicated, or tenacious than you,
and no one more deserving of FR's Finest Spotlight.

God bless you, Saundra.
You are a patriot and one of FR's Finest!

FReep On, Sis!

How CUTE! Look at the size of that bear! That little tot is lost in it!

(Not your graphic, Dave - talking about the huge teddy bear) :)

[Diver Dave]

Things haven't changed in The Big Valley as you describe.

When that 'fog line' disappears near the shoulder of the highway, park it.

[lodwick]

A few tears of happiness, humbleness, and gratitude
for all our FRiends, old and new, met and not yet met -
these tears are part of the Spotlight Day.

Have a super evening. JL

Two Jewish men, Sid and Al, were sitting in a Mexican restaurant. "Sid," asked Al, "Are there any Jews in Mexico?"
I don't know," Sid replied. "Why don't we ask the waiter?"
When the waiter came by, Al asked him, "Are there any Mexican Jews?"
"I don't know sir, let me ask," the waiter replied, and he went into the kitchen. He returned in a few minutes and said, "No, sir. No Mexican Jews."
"Are you sure?" Al asked.
"I will check again, sir." the waiter replied and went back to the kitchen.
While he was still gone, Sid said, "I cannot believe there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere."
When the waiter returned he said, "Sir, no Mexican Jews.
"Are you really sure?" Al asked again. "I cannot believe there are no Mexican Jews."
"Sir , I ask everyone," the waiter replied exasperated. "We have orange Jews, prune Jews, tomato Jews and grape Jews, but no one ever hear of Mexican Jews!"

Don't forget me today; I'm still here!

[Saundra Duffy]

Thanks for the sweet card. I love you guys.
