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.

[ladyinred]

I always thought you were full of Bull, and now this proves it!
Betcha wanna trade places with little willie don't you?:)

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks again for the great profile of Mtngrl@vrwc. She is indeed One of FR's Finest..

Time for me to say good night. See you tomorrow, God willing.

[whoever]

Goodnight, daisy. Sleep peacefully knowing that God is on His throne and in charge.

[Brasil]

Congratulations on the well-deserved honor of being Freeper of the Day. As well as your timely remarks and substitute work on the dose you have brightened many birthdays with those clever cards.

[Mama_Bear]

I am sorry I wasn't able to spend more time on the thread this afternoon and evening, but thank you ALL for coming to salute mtngrl today.

I wish you all a goodnight. Please come back tomorrow to see who the featured FReeper will be.

[LadyX]

Sweet dreams, Mama_Bear!
Am headed for bed myself here on the East Coast.....

[TruthNtegrity]

Here we were chatting on IM yesterday, twice and you never mentioned this. Tch tch! Aren't you the shy one though.

I agree with all the accolades and praises sung by all those above. They are all deserved by one of the nicest people on FR. You are always so quick to be positive, affirming and cheerful, it is a delight to be getting to know you and call you my friend.

My hope is that one day, me and my SO can visit you - so we can finally meet face-to-face but FR is such a special place, we can be close friends, even if we never meet in person.

I hope you enjoyed your day of recognition. It was all deserved.

"does Willie do the Texas two step ?? :o)"

Willie has a problem with the Texas two step.
He has a couple of......uh,......"appendages" that preclude him from making the right steps.

[blackie]

Many times... ;o)

[blackie]

I know the feeling... :o)

Molon Labe !!

[COB1]

Howdy, folks!!

I haven't been posting this afternoon 'cause I've been sitting here being all melancholy and sad over my ex-wives.
I found this song which perfectly fits my mood today.
I know there's a lot of guys out there who share my sentiments over some lost loves in their lives.
So as I listen to this sad melody with tears slowly trickling down my cheeks, I invite you brothers in sorrow to grab a hanky and join me:

Sonnet to Ex-Wives

(snicker)

[blackie]

Cool song, my ex-wives were great ladies, it took the one I have now to house break me... :o)

[chadsworth]

So as I listen to this sad melody with tears slowly trickling down my cheeks, I invite you brothers in sorrow to grab a hanky and join me

It is certainly nice that you are so sentimental about your x-wives. I thought as I read your post, if I listen to a sad song about my x-wife I would have to get a laughter bucket to replace the hanky. Then I thought I would call all of your wives to let them know how sad you were but when I reviewed the list, my two rolls of quarters would not get them all. JUST REMEMBER, TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS, KEEP TRYING - YOU'LL GET OVER THEM, ( I guess you have enough time left, I don't think that it is an each individual thing, if it is - you're in trouble!!!!

[LBGA]

Congrats Mtngrl! Just reading about your rally adventures wears me out. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Hi LBGA! Thanks for your salute to mtngrl. We just love her. There is no more dedicated supporter of the military and President Bush.

[ladyinred]

Oh poor baby!

I was going to say that you could come and cry on my shoulder, but I see Chadsworth is lurking about......so I won't say it okay?

(shhh, don't tell him I almost said that anyone!:)

[homeschool mama]

Kinda twangy but was a crack up!

Thanks for the chuckle...um...just how many ex wives do you have?!

[COB1]

"I was going to say that you could come and cry on my shoulder,"

I'll be there about six!
Have the coffee pot on!!

Chadsworth can sleep late in the morning!

[COB1]

"just how many ex wives do you have?!"

I'll have to wait until I take my shoes off to count 'em.
