A few of FR's Finest....Every Day 07-17-02

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.

Say, "Cheese!"  



LBGA

Is your photo in the FReeper Photo Album?   Have you all SEEN the Freeper Photo Album?   Do you realize how much time it took for someone to put that together? And did you know that the someone who PUT it together  (actually put it together more than once,  but that is another story!)  is THIS  FReeper:    LBGA ,   Freeper since 4-23-00.  LBGA proudly flies the State Flag of Georgia on her profile page, along with about 250 others!

LBGA was one of the FReepers who traveled to DC for the Inagural Ball;   she is an artist and has been an important part of the Guild, (this thread was particularly entertaining as LBGA had gone to Florida on a business trip and got to spend some time with BigWaveBetty,  another of the Guild stalwarts;  unfortunately,  the photos at the pool are no longer available,  darn it!),  as well as the USO Canteen,  where she created a warm,  inviting cyber room,  complete with the two mascots,  Beamer and Morgan,  relaxing in front of a cozy fire.  You can see that room,  with all the little FR details,  displayed on Snow Bunny's profile page. Snow Bunny is the Hostess of the USO Canteen.

Thank you,  LBGA,  for being one of FR's Finest FReepers! And thank you for creating,  collecting,  cropping, and categorizing all those photos!


Smile,  you're on Candid Camera  FR's Finest!

That's a great picture, L! Don't think you posted it on the forum when we were viewing everyone's photos from the weekend! It's a shame that of all those photos that WERE posted, most of them are gone now, because they were hosted by PhotoPoint. : (

The Waldorf is truly magnificent! Got to stay there once (in the 80s) for a business conference....I'll never forget the formal dinner in the opulent Grand Ballroom!

.45MAN and I were privileged to meet LBGA for lunch one day a few months ago. We all live and work within a couple miles of each other. She is a genuinely sincere and delightful person and we feel honored in knowing her!

Thanks, dansangel, for sharing that - how nice you could meet for lunch. I keep hoping that BWB will come and tell everyone about the week L was in Florida, and they got to spend some time together!

but the prognosis is total cure!

That is WONDERFUL! You have such a positive attitude - that is 90% of getting better, I think.

I pray that the time between now and September passes quickly for you. Soon you will be back to your healthy self again and you can put all this behind you.
