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!

Summer has "educated" all of us with her very well written and informative posts. Because of her, I feel like I know Jeb Bush personally! LOL!

Summer, thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to conservative causes! We appreciate you!

Thank you very much, ladyinred! I am thrilled to hear from you here... I truly appreciate your kind praise for my teaching. I am so glad I could create a bridge here, connecting the my own genuine curiousity about this governor's record and your interest in it, too!

Re your post #240 - I'm glad you enjoyed the verse. My pleasure to share it with you and everyone on this thread! :):)

[summer]

Thanks I hope to enjoy the beach some day.

My pleasure. And, I hope you do, too! :)

[summer]

I just joined the summerfanclub, thankyouverymuch!! Seems to be a bunch of threads 'bout Ol' Jebediah, please talk more about yerself!!

Well, I guess I'm truly glad you joined, but your complaint is making me ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! Talk about myself? Who would read that? (Believe it or not, I just got a freepmail today from someone who actually counted all the replies on a thread, and took the time to write and tell me they thought I had too many replies on that thread; and, so -- would I please remove their name from my ping list! LOL...) Thus, how about this - why don't you and the other members talk more about YOURSELVES! THAT would be fascinating! :)!!!!

[summer]

Goodnight, summer*. Sweet dreams.

Summer, you really 'are one of FR's Finest. : )

Thanks, ST.LOUIE1. :) !

[summer]

Re your post #302 - Thanks for posting on this thread, The Mayor. :)

[summer]

Mud, BTW, I was not at all laughing at you; just at the thought of what I felt like when I read that freepmail (too many replies???) and THEN to read your request! LOL...it was funny to me. Tell you what - if you write up a list of questions for me (and, it would be fun for me to read your idea of what you think are the answers), I will try to answer them if I can do so without invading my own privacy, since you were nice enough to join my new fan club! And, seriously, write about yourself, too on that site! :)

[summer]

Thanks for making this such a great thread. I really enjoyed it. :)

[summer]

Billie, You do such a Superwoman's job creating these threads, and keeping them going. Thanks.

I hope someone take you out to dinner really soon!!!! In fact, I would do that, if you were here in FL. :)
