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

[CounterCounterCulture]

Thanks again to you and ALL who have posted kind messages to me, too many to cut and paste into the TO: field, in my laziness. Good night all and "see" y'all tomorrow.

[Billie]

Hi, T Man, what kind of mischief are you up to tonight?

[whoever]

..Are you wanting to POST a graphic..

I offered assistance in that but I haven't heard back.

If I can do anything to help, I am willing to try.

I have more patience than knowledge.

[whoever]

Good night, sir. I hope you visit often.

I trust you enjoyed "your day".

[Billie]

Hi, blackie! Trying to work through the thread and need to say goodnight in a minute. So how long till the hot tub is moved and you can jump in again?

[Billie]

LOTSA MEECES! lol! 'nite, Meek!

[Billie]

That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny!!!

[Billie]

Just saying hello again and then goodnight! CCC, really enjoyed your tribute! Your Profile Page is something else, too! Thanks for being one of FR's Finest! And hope to see you tomorrow.

Sandy! Good to see you, girl!

Nite, Pippin, Nite Maggie!

[Billie]

[whoever]

Good night, Billie.

Thanks.

God bless you, my friend.

[The Mayor]

Thanks Billie, I will check in as soon as I can. I will be here for a little while tommorrow. We still have some things to do, you know things don't always go as planned. We'll be leaving later than anticipated, I will probably serve coffee in the am. : )

Good Night all....

[whoever]

Good night, MR. Mayor

May God protect you in your travels.

[LadyX]

Sorry to have vanished, but we had a major thunderstorm heading our way.

When my cat came flying in from the screened-in porch - my early warning system! - I knew it was time to log off...:))

Good night, everyone.

[daisyscarlett]

Billie: I think ex-snook was asking about how we view all of these graphics, i.e. her ISP does not allow her to view them in a speedy manner. That is why I suggested she set her view images to 20. Isn't that what you usually tell folks?

I pinged Louie to that post you were wondering about because I thought I posted the hostesses in a tub and wanted to give him credit for declaring us "the three cutest hostesses on FR"- did not want folks to think we wrote that ourselves.

CCC-thank you so much for being a great Freeper and thanks for spending time with us today.

Time for me to say good night. .

[whoever]

Good night, Lady,

May God bless you and keep you safe.

[whoever]

Good night, daisy.

Rest well and peacefully. God be with you.

[dixie sass]

Sorry I'm late posting this. Y'all are missing a great show on Paltalk.Com in the Patriots of the Republic Room - AnnaZ is there talking about the Liberty Belles and Gun Rights. She has done an absolutely fantastic job tonight fielding questions! Job well done AnnaZ!!!

[dixie sass]

Night CCC, take care and GOD bless you. Matchmaker, matchmaker, ta de da de dum...

[ladyinred]

Perhaps CCC, you could give me some pointers about how to duck the cameras next time you are in these parts? I don't seem to be very good at it! :)

[ladyinred]

Sorry, Aeronaut! I think I've got "ma'am"'s on the brain!

I rest my case!
