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.

Nick Danger, That Is!

Nick Danger

Nick's FReeper birthday is September 20, 1998,  and you'll see the Virginia flag on his profile page.   He is the first FReeper I remember seeing with a signature logo,  and you could always spot one of his posts by that little guy in the trench coat.  :)  I love that little trench coat guy!

Yesterday we talked about LBGA and the work she put into the FReeper Photo Album.  Today I want to thank Nick Danger for giving the Photo Album a home.  He graciously offered his own site as a host for the album. In addition to hosting the FReeper Photo Album,  Nick is the Site Administrator for the FRee Republic Network,  an organization separate from, but born out of the FRee Republic Forum.  For further information on FRee Republic Network, please visit:

One last thing I want to mention about Nick is that he is publisher of The Daily Spin (All the news that fits our agenda), which you need to see! He occasionally posts them on the forum.   :) Here are a couple of examples, straight from the Degenerate Propaganda Media, Inc.:

Thanks for being one of FR's Finest, Nick Danger!

Helooooooo, Julie! Your Irish is showing. : )

Aye....I was feeling a wee bit GREEN today!

[whoever]

..You might have competition. : ) ..

You doubt that I can stand up to it???????

..Re #87 - I like the Nanny Award on top of the RUB A DUB TUB, too - but I had to do it as a table with the HostessBabes as the background of the table and then the animated award on top. It's the only way that I know how to put an animation on top of a (rather large) still graphic without making the animated gif a really big file. I could do it but the file would be awfully large, and it would take a long time to open..

Billie, is all this lingo Nanny approved????????

[whoever]

..Be nice who! - share with us. ..

lodwick!!! Are you saying that is not just for me??????????

[JustAmy]

A man was driving to work when a truck ran a stop sign, hit his car broadside, and knocked him cold. Passersby pulled him from the wreck and revived him.

He began a terrific struggle and had to be tranquilized by the medics. Later, when he was calm, they asked him why he struggled so.

He said, "I remember the impact, then nothing. I woke up on a concrete slab in front of a huge, flashing sign. Turns out somebody was standing in front of the 'S' on the 'Shell' sign."

Dammit anglefire.

[whoever]

That's two strikes, lod, care to try for three?

[daisyscarlett]

Well I guessed I missed lunch. How about a Mexican supper.....Enchiladas with guacomole and sour cream, rice, refried beans and an ice cold Corona to wash it all down?

Fir is the predominant tree in Oregon, we have many varieties of conifers, plus most of the hardwood varieties.
Oregon is one tree dominant state...

We have a corner lot and in the back yard we have five white oak and two maple trees, along the street on one side there four oriental plums, plus a small fir at one corner of the front year... The other side of the front yard has eight arborvitaes planted side by side, they makes a nice 20 ft high fence...I don't have to look at my ugly neighbor... :o)

Oh yes, we have two 16 ft palm trees right in front of the house... :o)

My dad was raised in West Texas in later 1800's, his dad had 17 sections of land where he raised cattle...

[whoever]

That is really cute, lod. Thanks

[lodwick]

heheh - How to build a cat.

The preview is tremendous, just like all the rest of those losers. Here goes:

Does anyone care besides you, me, billie and Daisy at this point?

[whoever]

Is lodwick the only one who gets dinner?

That looks good enough to eat !!!!!!

[whoever]

Well, you hit a home run with that one....

YOU ALL BRIGHTEN MY DAY!

The days of cloud or sunshine,
The moments that we share,
The timely word, the thoughtful line,
The note that says "I care"...

Mean more to me than I can say,
So it's time, I think, you knew,
How much it brightens up my day
To have friends like you!

What brightens all my memories
Is the great times that we've shared...
You all are those special people
'Cause you take the time to care!

When I feel a little blue and sad,
The easiest thing for me to do,
Is remember that things can't be that bad
When I have wonderful friends like you!

[daisyscarlett]

I luv it Louie....thank you so very much...

(And this is an unsolicited hug, too. Not like the staged one the other day meant to make some of your gals jealous...lol)
