A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 07-31-02

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.


For a peek into the fascinating mind of this FReeper,

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. ;-)

Yes, the only thing difficult about doing this tribute to Alan was knowing when to quit! :-)

You did it just right! They have ALL been such fun to 'introduce' - each one unique in his/her own way. I'm just having so much fun, and most of the reasonis seeing how much everyone else is enjoying it - maybe 'cause they know their day is coming?! LOL!

I love it! TEXAS, YESSIR! I wonder which interstate? That looks like an Oil Refinery in the background? And not enough traffic to be one of the major cities! Grass is green in the median - it's not West Texas! LOL!

The FLORIST was busy today! And somebody knew just what would please each recipient, too! He should at least get a big hug, don't you think?! Maybe two! :)

Hey CCC! I am so glad to see you getting your special day! You really deserve it.

I enjoyed protesting with you at the Condit FReeps in Modesto and now against the peaceniks here in Fresno. I admire you greatly for taking on the rabid peaceniks in San Francisco. You are a very dedicated FReeper!

I just loved your sign!

All together now for old times' sake, "No Justice, No Peace!"

And what a beautiful bouquet it is, Diver. I so enjoyed meeting you at the tailgate earlier this month (has it really been less than a month?)
We are looking forward to getting you guys down here again. I started to name names but decided I would probably forget someone and would be in BIG trouble.

"Does he ever catch any speeders?"

Ma'am, speeders in Texas know it's futile to try to outrun a good quarter horse!
That one is about fourteen hands tall, so that cop just chunks the ticket in the window as he rides by!

I was here early, (well, earliER!), and then I finished my profile for tomorrow. Smarty! :)

But you were saying Good Morning and it was 3:00 here! Or were you just trying to confuse me? :)
