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. ;-)

Good morning, everyone! Please stop by and see who is in the spotlight today.

If you would like on or off of "FR's Finest" ping list, FReepMail me, it will be done.

Happy day to you all.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, louie. Rise and shine!

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Mama. Hats off to CCC!

[lodwick]

Another beautiful sunrise.

Another wonderful patriot.
A blessed day to all.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, Aeronaut. Thanks for coming by and congratulating CCC. He is one of my all time favorite FReepers. :-)

Have a great day up there in Minnesota.

[Auntbee]

Good morning to you!

[Mama_Bear]

A blessed day to you, lodwick. I see you have brought milk, so I guess I should scrounge up some cookies for this afternoon.

I love the old milk bottles, but I have restrained myself from starting yet another collection. I don't know about where you are, but, being that we are in dairy country, the antique shops around here are full of them. They are much sought after collector's items, especially old bottles from local dairies.

[CounterCounterCulture]

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. ;-)

Well, I quite shy and unassuming, but I'll try my best.

The voices in my head really appreciate the honor. ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

'Morning Auntbee. Thanks for stopping by our thread. I noticed that you just recently registered with FR. A warm welcome to you. You have come to the right place. We are the friendliest thread on FreeRepublic and a great place to get to know other FReepers. I am so glad you found us!

[Aquamarine]

I always loved your screen name, CCC. It's nice to see you in the spotlight today!

This is a poppy field in California.

[Mama_Bear]

Hey, good morning CCC! It was such fun spotlighting you. You are a kick!

If you can stay around for awhile, that would be great. If not, we understand - just stop by when you can to take your bows.

BTW, I would have linked to some of your other "notorious" threads, but unfortunately most of the images are long gone. :-(

(((((((hugs)))))))) Have a great day!

[The Mayor]

have a bagel with Coffee today!

[Auntbee]

Thank you. I've been hanging around reading this site for about a year now and I absolutely love it. You are right, the people here are great.

[CounterCounterCulture]

No problem. You got my main thread (where I host all the images).

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, thank you so much for the bagels and coffee! Billie says you make the best coffee, and I agree. :-)

[The Mayor]

The voices in my head

You have them too!

Thank God, I thought I was alone.

Congrats CCC!

[The Mayor]

Thanks!

[daisyscarlett]

Good morning. Our calendar "fix" for the day....

[Taxman]

Congratulations on a well deserved honor, my FRiend.
