A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 07-16-02

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.

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!

Good morning, scan - I did finally get that last group picture posted on the Veteran's Thread this morning. Do try to keep that thread updated, too, even though the photos have to go in the comments section.

Enjoy your coffee - I miss The Mayor's bringing us a cup but he'll be back once he gets settled in his move. :)

I really am in there.

Oh, great - thanks! Should I just post the whole picture and say Fred Mertz is in there somewhere?!

You know, as the picture started opening, I saw what I thought was an arrow pointing to one pic and thought that's Fred, and as the picture scrolled down even more, I realized it was the top of the flag pole! Should I just find the most handsome one then?! LOL (Tell the truth - are you really in that group?) :)

It was hung on Hoover Dam in 1996

It is something like 220 feet wide by 550 feet long.

Thanks - have been to Hoover Dam, but before 1996 - have flown over it since then a few times (to Vegas and back) :)

It's a great photo, MM7 - sure appreciate your posting it.
