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.

Today's Featured FReeper....
CounterCounterCulture!

This FReeper's "FR Birthday" is April 3, 1999,
and he claims to have been born under the sign...
******
Could that account for his brilliant and colorful personality?
I don't know, but he certainly is a multi-faceted FReeper!

When I asked him if I could spotlight him
on "FR's Finest", he shyly replied....
"I guess I have no choice now...sigh...ah heck,
who am I kidding. I LOVE THE ATTENTION!!!
Me me me me me!!! LOL!".....


When I asked him to send me a list of the FReeping
events he has attended, he sent me.....
THIS!
(Is that an impressive list, or what?!?)

When I asked him if he would like me to highlight
anything particular, this was his response ......
"Nothing much else really. Just to re-emphasize: ...."

*** Yes, ladies, I am still single and available ***

CounterCounterCulture has, among other things, set up many of the
1999/2000 primary and general election Presidential live debate threads,
as well as many of the 2000 Democrat Convention live threads.

The list of CCC's contributions to FreeRepublic is endless.
Here is just one of his many notorious posts:
* Welcome to the DNC 2000 Awards Show! *
Freepers Choice Awards Galore
(GOLDEN BWA-HA AWARD WINNER FOR PARODY OF THE WEEK)

CounterCounterCulture at his first official FReep,
December 5, 1998 - during Xlinton's impeachment.

Please help me salute our FReeper of the day.

If we are lucky, we might be able to coax him out of
his shell long enough to come to our thread and say hello. ;-)

THIS WEEK'S THREADS

07-29-02 Doug from Upland
07-30-02 Name That FReeper

[dixie sass]

Okay, lol. He is one of the nicest people that you could ever want to meet in person or on a thread or in a chatroom. Oh yeah, and one of the funniest and since he's a cat person - that makes him almost perfect!!!!

[JustAmy]

"Glad to know it. I thought the 'horse' had broken down"

Just taking a well deserved break. Pulling that plow 8 hours a day is backbreaking work. LOL

CCC ...... if I come out of hiding for awhile, will you put the cats away?

[LadyX]

It's great to meet you, CCC!
Thank you for agreeing to be in the Spotlight, where you surely deserve to be..:)))

Sorry, ladies, for my absence yesterday.

I placed myself on Time Out in order to get some HOUSEWORK accomplished.
You know - that at least semi-monthly effort to STAY AWAY FROM THE INTERNET!
LOL

[Mama_Bear]

Morning Amy. I see I missed a really good Finest thread yesterday. I have gotten so far behind. I know I also have mail that needs to be answered. I will get to it eventually. :-)

Thanks for all you do here. You bring such a wonderful sense of humor to our thread. We just love you!

[LadyX]

Thanks for the visual and audible treats, lovely Music Lady......

[dixie sass]

Don't we all? His sense of humour is only matched by his obvious good looks!!!

He is a gentleman through and through.

[Mama_Bear]

Sorry, ladies, for my absence yesterday. I placed myself on Time Out in order to get some HOUSEWORK accomplished.

I did exactly the same thing! And it looks like we missed a great thread.

I don't know about you, but I found it to be pretty much a lost cause. It is impossible to get done in one day what I have let go for two months. :-(

[dixie sass]

How is the grandson and did your daughter get settled and did you survive and are you coming to the next meeting and get on the email list that PistoPaknMama has set up, okay.?! Phew! One breath again!!!!

PS: Can you tell I'm from the Low Country?

[JustAmy]

Hey Everyone !!!!!!
Come over and say hello to CCC on his day in the spotlight!
I need to return to the back 40 for a couple of hours but like MacArthur, "I shall return"

[Mama_Bear]

He is one of the nicest people that you could ever want to meet in person or on a thread or in a chatroom.

Yes, he is. A great all around guy and a pleasure to know.

We sure enjoyed having him attend our Tailgate Party, but from the pictures, you wouldn't even know he was there. Every time I turned around, there he was, yet the camera only caught rare glimpses of him. So, I guess we should add illusive to his many facets .... (or, at least, very quick in ducking the camera!) LOL!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Just taking a well deserved break.
Pulling that plow 8 hours a day is backbreaking work. LOL

I see it's turned you into a mouse, also. LOL

[Saundra Duffy]

Congratulations to one of the greatest FReepers of all time!! CCC - You are loved and appreciated. This guy can be counted on! When the FReepin' gets tough, CCC will be there. Very well deserved. For victory & freedom!!!

[LadyX]

I'm taking this opportunity, TM, to tell you I'll be praying for a safe journey tomorrow and for a wonderful and fulfilling new life.
Virginia is such a beautiful place to live!

God bless you and yours - - -

[daisyscarlett]

How is Beep today?

[COB1]

KUDOS TO YOU, CCC!!

You added your own kind of spark to the Fresno Tailgate Party!

Thanks for being you, friend!

[Pippin]

Didn't you get my ping last night?

She is out of the coma and is expected to come home today though I've not heard from her fiancee today yet.

[daisyscarlett]

Good morning, Saint. Great thread today...great profilee, great profiler...Should be lots of fun around here (already has been)....

[Aquamarine]

Hi Louie! I hope everything is going well in the Heartland today.

[Aquamarine]

The lupine is beautiful, does it also smell good?
