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!

I backed up to this post, because I kept seeing something about prayer for your mom. Hate when I miss so many posts and come in after something's been discussed.
I am so sorry to hear about your mom, because it just must be the most awful disease. We've watched President Reagan, or read about him, sinking further and further down in whatever horrible black hole that must be as it's progressed. I've read there are drugs now that can help slow it down in the very early stages. My heart goes out to you and your whole family.

"....they do shoot wolves in Texas, don't they? : (" It depends on whether or not the aforesaid wolf is slobbering all over our women.
If it can be shown, or suspicioned, that the aforesaid wolf is, indeed, slobbering on our women, that wolf will have his ears and uh...private parts cut off before he's shot and hung on a barbed wire fence.
We have a bounty on slobbering wolves.

Whew! Shore happy to hear that.
I'll poke a couple of holes in it for my ears....
....that way the wind can't blow it off.
Er....is it permissible to take muh boots off, ma'am? : )
To: ladyinred; Mama_Bear
We'd like to see a picture of Lambchop, please!
This is Chelsey. She has never FReeped, but she was very instrumental in helping Steve Stockman finally topple 42-year incumbent Jack Brooks in '94. And when she sits on my lap, she prefers to face right.
To: lodwick; COB1
And you two - what I just posted to ladyinred. I love you guys. It has to be so hard for you both.

Rather graphic description. : (
I've never been known to slobber.
My lips are clean as a whistle.
