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.

SOME OF FR'S FINEST PROFILE PAGES

Many Freepers have taken advantage of the opportunity to create a Profile Page. The results of these creations are often illuminating, humorous, inspirational, artistic or biographic, just to mention a few descriptive words.

Below are some randomly selected Finest FR Profile Pages. There are, of course, many other Finest FR Profile Pages worthy of featuring, and we hope to do some of them in the future, perhaps on a regular basis. If you have a Profile Page you would like to share, or if you come across a Profile Page that you want to bring to our attention, you know the drill - freepmail Billie, Mama_Bear or myself.

In the meantime, take a look at Some of FR's Finest Profile Pages.

Alberta's Child has created a Profile Page depicting, mostly, the Canadian Rockies with awesome photographs and lyrics that depict Alberta's Child's love for Calgary and surrounding area. If you love nature and/or poetry, don't miss this one. Thank you, Alberta's Child. I get a chill when I view your page and want to burst out in a hymn of Praise to the Lord.

Texas Longhorn's Profile Page has no graphics, no poetry. But it is packed full of links to politcal, engineering and financial sites. These links are arranged in a concise table which makes referencing these sites so very easy. Thank you, Texas Longhorn. I am sure this page took many hours to set up and I am also sure that it has been bookmarked by many freepers, especially those with an interest in the Financial Markets and politics, both Texas and local..

Whoever makes us laugh on a regular basis with her jokes, story telling and her keen wit. A view of her Profile Page will not disappoint. Less is often more. Thank you, whoever. You are a treasure.

CounterCounter Culture's Profile Page starts out very seriously with a thought provoking "Quote of the Moment." It then moves right along to biographical data and after that it gets really zany. Lots of photos and graphics with humorous comments. Thank you CounterCounterCulture for creating this eclectic and fun Profile Page.

ST.LOUIE1 has combined his professional expertise with his sense of humor to create a most entertaining home page. Not only should you not miss this one, but you need to go back to it from time to time as he changes it for various occasions. There is a serious side to ST.LOUIE1 and his patriotism and conservatism are also displayed, along with biographical information. Thank you ST.LOUIE1 for sharing your creativity with us.

Will you be performing, or just watching? Hope you have a really wonderful week, whichever you're doing. I'll be gone next weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) for a little mini-vacation.

Wake up little sleepy-head

Good morning there - where the heck is that pic?

I'm not doing well at all in my search for that awesome photo - and I just saw it a few days ago. ;-)

Breaking the sound barrier

[Diver Dave]

Saying good morning again to you, dear friend. :)

Thanks, friend. Here's your morning coffee:

[lodwick]

Blame

Let's see if I understand how the world works lately...

If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work,

he blames the restaurant.


If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer,

your family blames the tobacco company.


If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.


If your grandchildren are brats without manners,

you blame television.


If your friend is shot by a deranged madman,

you blame the gun manufacturer.


And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline.

I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore.

So, if I die while my old, wrinkled butt is parked in front of this computer,

I want you to blame Bill Gates...okay?

[Diver Dave]

[lodwick]

Have a great day.

[The Thin Man]

So Billie, I see that whoever's practically blank profile page gets recognized and your page that took hour after hour to create doesn't even get 'honorable mention'. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks LadyX. Always good to see you and thanks for lovely jasmine. I have two Carolina jasmine's in my yard, climbing the fence. They are so fragrant...Love em...

[daisyscarlett]

As you know, I am partial to the Pledge you made with the flag graphics and I love Mama Bear's little bear reciting the pledge-he is so serious. But I thought I would look for something different today so I went searching on the Web and found a wonderful pledge, it was framed beautiful and had caligraphy and everything. Had pictures of the Founders. Well, luckily, before I posted it, I read it and it did not have "Under God" in it. The site that produced it was an anti-Under God site!!!

[daisyscarlett]

Nice to see you, as always. Did you ever share with us what test you were boning up for this weekend? Good luck with it, in any case...

[MeekOneGOP]

Howdy, Miss Billy! Nice graphic. Thanks.

[daisyscarlett]

Thank YOU, Texas Longhorn. Let us know when you have significant additions.....

[daisyscarlett]

G'nad found us without a special ping but here is Blackie's special ping, "per order" of Billie...hee hee

[daisyscarlett]

It will be a long, long time before I "master" tables. Mostly I just copy the commands you and Billie have used the day before LOL. I know what to do but not necessarily why...I will admit it is getting "easier".

Last night, I started posting this thread at 11:00 and was totally finished by 11:30 and did not know what to do with myself. In past, I would start at 9:00 p.m and maybe have it done by midnight.....

[daisyscarlett]

You have a wonderful sense of humor. Your Profile Page is a trip....and I love your post today...You had me going for a minute, I thought, oh no-a disruptor so soon....lol

[daisyscarlett]

Come back soon. I can guarantee we are more fun than washing windows.

Beautiful graphic and music choice this a.m. Thank you.
