A Few of FR's Finest.....Every Day.....7-11-02

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.

ONE OF FREE REPUBLIC'S FINEST



Utah Girl

Utah Girl has been a member of Free Republic since 3/27/01. She has become well known to many of us in that relatively short time. While her "home thread" is America The Right Way, she also post articles and contributes to threads in both Late Breaking News and General Interest. She is well read and well informed and imparts much information to all threads she visits. She is a long time contributor to the Guild Thread and provided many recipes for the Guild Cookie Exchange Thread and the Guild Thanksgiving Recipes. Currrently, she has been posting to the Elizabeth Smart Kidnapping Daily Thread where she comments on the local coverage and perspective of the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart in Salt Lake City Utah last month.

She is In The Spotlight today, as One of Free Republic's Finest, in recognition of the Daily Threads she posted and hosted during the Olympic Winter Games held in Salt Lake City in February 2002. She was our gal on the scene in Utah for the entire Olympic Games as well as for the pre-game hoopla and celebrations including the carrying of the torch and the preparations Utah underwent for these games. Hundreds of us, maybe even thousands, contributed and lurked on these threads. It was enriching and enlightening and provided us a place to vent, if necessary, especially during the Figure Skating Events. Lots of great photographs too and lots of laughs. .

Thanks Utah Girl. You are well liked and respected and are One of Free Republic's Finest.

Thanks for the coffee.....I suppose you are too young to remember Freddie's Donuts in Buffalo?...It was the Krispy Kreme of its day.....Folks would come from far and away to get some of their creme filled donuts fresh out of the oven. It was on Main Street in Buffalo way at the end a huge white building....Ask some of the old timers about it and bring a smile to their face....

Good morning, daisy! I sure am glad that some others pinged me! LOL (Lori, you can tease her back now about the ping list and forgetting to replace her name with mine!)

You did a fantastic job with your presentation and profile of Utah Girl, daisy!

UG, I've 'met' you on other threads, but am so happy to see you in our spotlight today! Congratulations, and keep on being......

See post #30 - Did Utah pick it's most popular hair-do for a state motto?

Just kidding! (I'm from Florida - we have learned to take state jokes in stride)

Morning, who - know it's too early for you to be here yet, and of course I wasn't here when you posted the Little Things. How true it is. Your little bar at the end is so pretty!
