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)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good night, my Saint.
You made my day. God bless you.

Aha! You thought I was gone and posted this so others would think you really like me.

Well, I'm kidding. : )

Thank you, sweet 'who'.

May God's grace always be with you. : )

Goodnight....again. Sleep well. : )

[The Thin Man]

OH! MY! I had no idea that you were so talented. Why have you not displayed this amazing ability sooner?

You captured, (artistically) me perfectly.

who, thanks for recognizing my immense talent. I have to say, that for the first time, I agree with you completely. Unfortunately, Billie had to find something critical about my drawing. Obviously, a case of envy. :-)

[whoever]

..thanks for recognizing my immense talent..

Do talent and ego come in pairs?

[The Thin Man]

Here's my response to your question.

[LadyX]

Good night all ~ ~ ~ see you tomorrow.

[whoever]

Good night, Lady. God bless and watch over you.

[whoever]

There you go again, stealing from me.

Well, I said early today I could almost forgive you for doing that.

How wrong I was.

[Jen]

Feel free to save and/or do whatever you want with them, except please don't put mustaches on them.

Thanks so much Billie. I'm going to use one or two on my profile page. I promise no mustaches!

I'm so sorry I missed this yesterday. Billie, your artwork is a gift from God. You are one talented lady, as I'm sure you've heard time and time again. I've bookmarked this thread so I can return to it and enjoy the beauty that you've created.

Thank-you for sharing this with us!
