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.

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.

Oh, NO! The Stage is Empty!
![](http://d21c.com/billie/patriotic/star2a.gif) Hope you won't be disappointed, but we're doing something a little bit different today. On the other hand, since many of you have already seen the graphics being posted today, you can just skip right on down to the visitin' part and .... well .... visit! :)
Several FReepers.....well, ok, some FReepers..... have asked when and if I would post some of my drawings of the Bushes and Reagans again, and I didn't have a new profilee ready to go today, and it was my turn to 'do' the thread, so........this is the day they give drawings away. (Feel free to save and/or do whatever you want with them, except please don't put mustaches on them)

.. I love goats too.. They are wonderful. And they do not smell bad, except the bucks during rut.
We had 275 milkers and a bunch of bucks, kids and drys when I sold out a number of years ago.
I also had a herd of African Pygmy Goats. Now that is a breed for everyone. They can even be housebroken. We had a 4H'r who trained one and it slept on the bed with him at night. Never had an 'accident'.

You just wanted to see two ladies swoon at your feet, didn't you?...:)) ...Uh, Guilty. Happens all the time. :)
Louie, make a note of this.
To: WVNan
..Crab legs in the microwave?!!! .. I just moisten them and pop them in for a couple minutes.
Serve as usual. Taste wonderful. Very time saving and no dishes, to speak of.
My two boys loved them even as young children.

You mean some goats aren't housebroke? I thought they were. Ours lived in the house all the time. Of course that might have been because we didn't have any screens on the doors or windows. Talk about your open air living...but that was the South during the depression.

you believe him cause he told you?Sure. He told me I was a nice guy - and I know that's the truth! :)
To: ClaraSuzanne
..you're obviously not from Baltimore..No, m'am. Born, raised and lived my whole life in the wonderful land called California. (Not LA nor San Francisco. I am a country girl.)
I tend to like rather highly seasoned foods, and therefore do them in a crab boil type solution. I make my own but it is similiar to Old Bay Seasoning.
