A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day 08-3,4-02

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.

To Our FReeper FRiends:   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review those who've been featured during the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello to them now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. :)

"I have read in old history type books, that the reason people say "God Bless You" when someone sneezes is that they used to think that every time you sneeze an evil spirit leaves your body!"

I've heard the same thing. Back in the Elizabethian era it would have been considered a spell and witchcraft and get you in a mess of trouble. (Believing in evil spirits was a no-no.)

I've also heard that "good-bye" is a shortened form of, I think, "God be with you"!

But you wouldn't have to with the way the forum is set up now. :) All your tags are turned off automatically when you post them, so no problem if you forget in a comment post. :)

Two minute phone calls?
Wow! I can't imagine how you can say much in that amount of time. The female recruits must hate that! LOL!
Please tell him we all are praying for his injury and how much we appreciate his service to our nation, and his dedication to God! You have done a fantastic job of raising that boy!

Mornin' Billie. Thanks for the coffee.

Just finished reading the FResno FReep report. What a GREAT team they have down there. Their dedication - week after week is something to be admired and emulated throughout the country.

Go FResno FReepers!

Good morning all. My computer is going to be in the shop this morning for some fine tuning, so I will be off line until this evening. Have a great weekend everyone.
