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!

Hi Julie! I am just catching up from being off line for several hours. Lots of chuckles on the thread this afternoon.

Thanks, everyone, for the humorous posts. I was pretty crabby when I was finally able to log back on. The funny posts put me in a MUCH better mood. :-)

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.

Lodwick, I love this, - and the graphics you have posted today. :-)

[JulieRNR21]

My carrier is working much better than the other day when I was totally frustrated by not being able to post!

Getting close to my bedtime now so will wish you all Sweet Dreams.....

[whoever]

I am very happy that you are back online. It could have been worse.

I would have waited for cable, too, but it is too far off around here. I barely got dsl. I signed up for one year to take advantage of the freebies. I will re-evaluate when that is up and if cable is here by then.

[Mama_Bear]

Good night, Julie. God bless.

[Mama_Bear]

I signed up for one year to take advantage of the freebies.

So did I. After my year was up, they jumped the price $10 a month - but I knew that was coming. LOL.

I know it wouldn't be any cheaper to go with cable and my son installed a wireless modem so that we can have three computers accessing our dsl connection. I don't think we could do that with cable. So, we will just keep what we have. I don't have too many complaints with dsl.

[whoever]

My main complaint with dsl is I was sent a dynamic modem and it is very slow opening a new 'page' or window. Recently I have had problems with a new window, indicating "you may not be connected to the network'. I have no idea what that is or what to do about it. I am connected since I am on AIM IM and here and many others at the same time. And, I cannot access Media Player. Oh well.

Just another fly at the picnic.

[Mama_Bear]

Saundra it has been such a pleasure having you as our featured FReeper in the spotlight today. I hope you know how much we appreciate everything you do.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came by to salute and congratulate Saundra.
Good night, FRiends.

[whoever]

Good night, Mama Bear. God bless and strengthen you as you prepare for this weekend of patriotic service.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Whoooops...pic didn't post for me the first time around. ;-)
