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!

Way to go Saundra. What a pleasure it has been to get to know you and FReep with you.

"For Victory and FReedom" may be the way you sign off on your posts, but you also live by those words.

Just like Jim Robinson, it can be said of you, "Have FReep, Will Travel." FRom FResno, to Merced, to Modesto, to Sacramento, call for a FReep and Saundra will be there - with bullhorn and signs.

For Victory and FReedom.

Good morning Larry. I hear that Maine is such a beautiful state. The closest I ever got to it was New Hampshire - which is also very pretty. I spent many great summers at my grandparent's summer home at Newfound Lake.

How I envy you your temperature this morning. It is going to get up to well over 100 here in our sizzling San Joaquin Valley. Maybe even up to 110! Yikes!

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, Mr. Mayor. Thanks for bringing coffee this morning - I should have thought of that.

Yes, it is indeed Saundra who keeps the liberals on the run here. LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

Amy, I just love that cute cat in the Uncle Sam hat. Adorable!

It's sure going to be a scorcher in the valley today - bad air quality too. Stay inside and stay cool.

'Morning to you, g'nad. Thanks for helping us spotlight a truly dedicated patriot. Great to see you on this beautiful Wednesday morning.

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks, lodwick. Do you have the ingredients for my Margarita chilling? We are sizzling here in CA. I'm sure, come about five o'clock (the hottest part of the day here), I will be more than ready for one. Thank you kindly, sir. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

An awesome tribute to a larger-than-life PATRIOT!!

Thanks, LadyX. Saundra is larger-than-life, for sure, and she is one awesome lady with a megaphone. LOL! I saw her leave the Condit supporters speechless in Modesto as she "educated" them about their 'hero'. She, along with another fine patriot, Diver Dave, gave up months and months and months of Saturdays FReeping in front of Condit's office.

[MeekOneGOP]

I was up early, as usual. Have a good rest, Mama Bear!

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, Dave. Thanks for your kind words to our FRiend and patriot Saundra. She is something, isn't she? I will never get over the dedication both of you had in getting Condit out of office last year. I am proud to know you and the others who committed so much time to that worthy cause.

[Mama_Bear]

Mornin' M_B - - may the spirit of Perfect Organization descend upon you and Just Amy these last frantic hours before the Grand Events! (as well as the Save Your Sanity one..:)))

Bless you, Lady!

Amy, you grab hold of the spirit of 'Perfect Organization', and I'll take the 'Save Your Sanity' one ...... and we will get through this just fine - I hope!

Actually, thanks to Amy, this is all coming together beautifully. She has taken on most of the responsibility for putting this event together and is doing a bang-up job.

THANK YOU, AMY!!

Ham'n Eggs, cook-out style

Yum! I can almost smell it, it looks sooooo good!
Nothing better than the smell of breakfast cooking ... especially over an open fire. :-)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Congratulations, Saundra.

You ARE one of FR's *Finest*.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Way to go, Saundra!

[Diver Dave]

Thank You, Ma'am. She certainly is someone terrific.

BTW, I noticed a certain Mama Bear and Mtngrl in those photos along with JimRob. :^)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Well *fuzzy*, you've done it again.....

Spectacular Post!

: )

[daisyscarlett]

I applaud your activism and enjoy your posts. Very nice to meet ya...

[Mama_Bear]

'Morning Louie! Thank you. Your compliments always make my day.

Are your little bruised paws rested up from all the typing yesterday?

[JulieRNR21]

So happy that I can join you today in honoring Saundra Duffy as FR's Finest.

While I've not had the pleasure of meeting her in person; I have admired for her dedication to FR and for her Freeping abilities!

Many thanks for all your efforts! Enjoy your much deserved day in the spotlight, Saundra!

[ST.LOUIE1]

'Morning Louie! Thank you.
Your compliments always make my day.

: ) And *you* always make mine, fuzzy.

Are your little bruised paws rested up from all the typing yesterday?

No! LOL!
