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.

Summertime!

Summer

If it's orange blossoms,  it's Florida,  and if it's Florida,  it's summertime,  and if it's summertime,  it's summer,  one of FR's Finest since June 13, 2000.

One look at summer's profile page,  and you know she is a person committed to keeping conservatives in office in Florida,  working tirelessly and endlessly,  writing numerous articles to educate the public about the Republican Governor,  Jeb Bush,   and to see that he is reelected.  She has written over a dozen different "The Jeb Bush Nobody Knows" threads for FR;  those links are on her profile page.   Do check them out if you're not familiar with them.

Summer is a Florida certified teacher,  and one of her favorite web pages for kids is this one:   Florida Office of the Governor Kid's Page .  It's brimming with both photos and information for kids,  parents,   and teachers everywhere!

This is not meant to embarrass summer,  but I've learned recently she has a Fan Club, and there is a Yahoo Web Site dedicated to her writing!  The President of that Fan Club
is a FReeper named Clemenza.

Way to go, summer! Thanks for all you do!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Can you see it now ya big baby!?

my ears don't look anything like that!).

They do when you're eatin' grub. They twist every which way! LOL!

Amy, I wonder why we couldn't see it when Julie posted it?

You don't have the 'secret' code when Julie posts it. : )

[summer]

Re your very clever post #39, lodwick --


Gov. Bush, it's been my pleasure to attempt to share with
others your outstanding record! Thank you for your good
wishes -- it was so nice of you to drop by here!
Sincerely, summer :)

[summer]

Re your post #45 - Thank you so much, lodwick. I am very touched by your kind words. Those early teacher threads were the toughest for me by far! And, your supportive posts on them remain very much apprciated! :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Amy, I wonder why we couldn't see it when Julie posted it?

Do you use Internet Explorer? My son told me when I can't view an image to go from Netscape to Explorer and that may help.
Louie fixed something else the other day for me. I could see it but I could not post it. Was it the same type of problem Louie?

I forget what it was I helped you with. LOL

[summer]

Thanks for your post #43 on this thread, MeeknMing! :)

[JustAmy]

I forget what it was I helped you with. LOL

You aren't old enough for senior moments! Have you been dipping into our margaritas?

[ST.LOUIE1]

You aren't old enough for senior moments!
Have you been dipping into our margaritas?

LOL!

No, but that pelican looks to be three sheets to the wind. LOL

[summer]

Re your post #53 - What a great SUN graphic! Thanks for posting it -- and for keeping this thread bumped all day! :)

Re your post #58 - blackie, Thanks for posting that cool biker graphic on this thread -- and here's a cool trail in FL for him to ride! :)


Bulow Creek Trail, FL

[JustAmy]

No, but that pelican looks to be three sheets to the wind.

That pelican is a duck; I knew you were pie eyed. If not margaritas, then must be the tequila sunrises. LOL

[JulieRNR21]

Julie, I was felling under the weather today, how did you know? It felt great floating in the ocean under the sun with my "Freedom and Liberty kite" tied to my foot.

Matthew....You have just experienced my ESP powers.....LOL

Hope you are now feeling much better!

[JulieRNR21]

LOL! Yes, I can see it now (and, even though she's cute, that ain't me - my ears don't look anything like that!). Amy, I wonder why we couldn't see it when Julie posted it?

I have a theory about that.....and if I'm correct....perhaps Louie will give me a 'prize'.

You couldn't see the one I posted because it was linked directly to the site (which you may not be able to access because of some incompatibility) while the one Louie posted was linked to his storage domain!

And I agree that bear doesn't look like our Mama Bear....I never said it did...baaaaad boy Louie was the one who did!

[summer]

Re your post #59 - Thank you for that nice compliment, dutchess! I really appreciate it! :)


A FL beach for dutchess...

[ST.LOUIE1]

Humph! : (

Just because your duck is funny looking doesn't mean I've been hittin' the sauce. Humph!

And I've never had a tequila or a margarita. : )

I'm a beer man. LOL
