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.

It was impossible to feature one of these fine FReepers
without the other, so today we spotlight the husband and wife
team of chadsworth and ladyinred as two of
FreeRepublic's Finest.



Ladyinred has been a FReeper since January 1, 2001.
This lady, with her sequin studded sign in hand, simply
sparkles at the FResno "Support our Troops" rallies.

(Word has it that she also makes the best brownies, but unfortunately, the residents
of FReeper Island have yet to be able to confirm that rumor. Hint, hint!) ;-)

Chadsworth's "FReeper birthday" is December 1, 2000.
(However, Lady tells me that her original FReeper name was "chadsworth".
She decided to become "ladyinred" and hubby inherited her old name.
So actually, her "FReeper birthday" is his, and his is hers ..... got it?)

Chadsworth is our lovable "corner clown" on FReeper Island.
Still pictures just don't do him justice. He is pure poetry in motion!

What a team!

While ladyinred adds her patriotic SPARKLE to FResno's FRiday evening
rallies, chadsworth adds FUN. Very few cars manage to sail past FReeper
Island without giving him a honk on their horn. His unique style and
antics entertain the passing motorists and rally patriots as
he does his best to coax a response from even the most timid drivers.
Those who comply are often rewarded with a gracious bow.

But, both ladyinred and chadsworth have a serious side also; a true love for their
country and for traditional American values. They are concerned about the
worsening state of our nation and take issue with those who are attempting to
"disrupt the way of life that we, as citizens, have tried to protect and maintain..."

Chadsworth and ladyinred, in their own words........

"We feel the Politically Correct attitude by our lawmakers and in particular, the liberal news
media are jeopardizing the citizens of this nation. It is time for another Boston Tea Party
– in Taxramento, Ca. and Taxington , D.C. It is time to rid our congress of the corruption
on both state and national levels, and the liberal judges and educators that are
contributing to the downgrading of our nation. We need honest vote counting during
our elections. We need better support of our president and participation by its citizens.

It is a privilege to be able to express our feelings and it is a privilege to be able to
join a fine group of people doing what they can to protest the war protestors.
We both would like to recognize Jim, Sheila, John and Chris for the fine work they do.
AND, HIGH ON THE LIST – WE ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT HAVING
ANOTHER FREEREPUBLIC TAILGATE RALLY."

Chadsworth says, "Being with such a fine group of people who are
dedicated to keeping this nation what it should be is one of the most
enjoyable events that anyone could participate in..."

"And other FReepers like me a lot......."

Yes, they really were dancing on Patriot's Corner.
I'm not sure what song they were dancing to,
but as I recall, it was something like this....
String Of Pearls

Both of these patriotic FReepers deserve a big round of applause
for their dedication and their contributions to FreeRepublic.

ladyinred and chadsworth,
enjoy your day in the spotlight.
You are two of FR's Finest!

Morning to you, Dave. Hope that you don't think I have been ignoring you - I keep intending to answer your mail, but then keep getting buried under more and more. Thanks for the update, I appreciate it. Hope you are well today. Keep us posted on how you are doing and I will keep sending good thoughts up your way. :-)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good job Candy.

Dittos!

Lots of talent, and pretty, too.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Well, Maybe not THAT closely!

LOL!

[MeekOneGOP]

Neat post on Miss Candy! Thanks.

One day God was looking down on earth and saw all of the rascally behavior that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out. When she returned, she told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving & 5 % are not". God was not pleased. So he decided to e-mail the 5% that were good because he wanted to encourage them, and give them a little something to help them keep going.

Do you know what that e-mail said????















You didn't get one either, huh?????????????

[JustAmy]

It's quite an honor to be in trouble on two threads!
I don't think Billie will strike as hard as those others did tho. She won't bring the marines with her! LOL
Finally get the chance to use this image; too bad its to the wrong person on the wrong thread!

[COB1]

I think it's my duty to show everyone what kind of person chadsworth really is:

This is chadsworth getting drenched by CoolGuy.
Now you can't see me in the picture, but I felt very sorry for him that he got wet:

Now when you turn the tables around look at chadsworth reaction when I got soaked!

Not very pretty, huh?

[lodwick]

Anyone hungry?
