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.

Oh, NO! The Stage is Empty!

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)

Is that what you do locwick? You pop in and serve dinner and pop back out? Gee, I always wanted a butler. Thank you.

[Pippin]

Pippin

[whoever]

Oh thank you for your wonderful dinner.

I hope you have a good evening and a restful sleep.

God bless.

[Billie]

Gentleman of Total Leisure.....LOL! Anyway, I missed you and your oh-so-pretty graphics today. :)

[Billie]

Wimmen aren't supposed to travel lightly.....

ARE they? :)

[Pippin]

What guest writer?

Ah! Nuts!

I won't be seeing tomorrow's thread anyway!

You can give me a hint?

[Billie]

If they're good surprises we like them.....!

How's my biker buddy doing?

[WVNan]

Hi Billie. I keep missing you.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Howdy Louie!

Howdy, Diver!

Pippi, I can attest to the fact that Louie is a Saint -
He told me he was.

Would I lie to you? : (

Go ahead - ask him. :)

Smart aleck! LOL

[Billie]

Thank you, HG. That's very nice of you to say that. You know, I can print photos, etc with my HP DeskJet 820Cse color printer, on glossy kodak paper and they look really, really good! These drawings print on plain paper very well though - but not as well with a laster printer as inkjet.

[Billie]

Hi, Aqua - I read your FReep Mail early this morning about your having to work today, but just didn't have time to do music, and I like yours better anyway! So we just did without. (Now don't you feel sorry for us and want to run out and find some gorgeous graphic of Laura or Dubya or Cheney, etc and give us a tune to go with it?) :)

I'm glad you're back. I've had a hard time getting to stay here very long today. : (

[Pippin]

Hi, I don't know what to say to a saint. LOL!

[ST.LOUIE1]

So when were you canonized? HE! HE!

Pope Paul....in 2001. Louie is the only 'living' Saint. LOL

[Billie]

Well! LOL! Ask and ye shall receive! I spoke too soon - I'm here now at your beautiful song and picture!

[Pippin]

Now that's a swich!

A dead Pope cannonizes a live Saint! LOL!!

[Billie]

LOL! You were here 2 hours ago - I wasn't! You here now? I'm trying to get caught up if I can on the posts this afternoon!

[Pippin]

Yes, I'm here now!

[ST.LOUIE1]

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.

Dang! You're beginning to sound just like Louie.

Welcome aboard!

It gets lonesome at the top. LOL

[Pippin]

AWWWWWWWWWW! You poor thing!

Poor, poor Wolfie!

[whoever]

..It gets lonesome at the top. LOL ..

OY !!!!!
