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.

SOME OF FR'S FINEST PROFILE PAGES #2

Many Freepers have taken advantage of the opportunity to create a Profile Page. The results of these creations are often illuminating, humorous, inspirational, artistic or biographic, just to mention a few descriptive words.

Below are some randomly selected Finest FR Profile Pages. There are, of course, many other Finest Free FR Profile Pages worthy of featuring, and we hope to do some of them in the future, perhaps on a regular basis. If you have a Profile Page you would like to share, or if you come across a Profile Page that you want to bring to our attention, you know the drill - freepmail Billie, Mama_Bear or myself.

In the meantime, take a look at Some of FR Finest Profile Pages #2

Drew68 has put together a Profile Page that is, well, a profile page in the true meaning of the word. He discusses his biography, his interests and his views and includes a few photographs of himself. His Profile Page is pretty complete but he says there are more links and photos to come. Take a look, (especially you single ladies as Drew68 is not married!)

Slyfox has dedicated his Profile Page to the Clinton Crimes of which he believes there are 234. He has listed many of them and has provided some graphics of Bill and Hillary Clinton in prison garb. And, heh, they look great in stripes...lol.. Thanks Slyfox for reminding us of what sleeze the Clintons were and still are.

CyberCowboy777 describes himself as an Originalist, believing in the validity of both the Bible and US Constitution in original form and meaning, with only a Conservative interpretation for the current times. His Profile Page illuminates these views. There are also links to Constitution Party (formerly American Taxpayers Party) publications. Also some photos here and there of President Reagan and John Wayne. This is an enlightening and informative Profile Page.

Hispanarepublicana has written an inspirational autobiographical essay for her Profile Page. It is a good read on many levels and is so cool that it has even provoked its own thread.This is one of the replies on that thread..."You are not only extremely wealthy, you have reminded a few others of us how wealthy we are, too."

William Wallace has created a very pleasant Profile Page. It consists of photographs and quotes of "his heroes". He leads off with one of our heroes, President Reagan. Next is Lou Gehrig and a copy of his Farewell Speech. Then comes Malcom Muggeridge. This is a most pleasing and enjoyable Profile Page. Thank you William Wallace.

Just Amy's Profile Page is Just Cute!! She has displayed her numerous signature .gifs (over 50) for us to enjoy at one glance. These .gifs were mostly gifts to her from her friends (such as St.Louie1 who is credited with over 50). Thank you Just Amy for putting a smile on our face.

WEEKEND THREAD 8/17-18/02

[Billie]

Hi, Dave! I can't understand why your 'puter is slow, with DSL! I have an excuse for slow loading! It's fun seeing new and different Pledge graphics so often. We don't want to get tired of the same old ones every day and try to keep them fresh. Christian's and Logan's were two of the very best we've had - 'course we're a bit prejudiced here, aren't we?!

[Pippin]

hi, Blackie!

[daisyscarlett]

Glad you like the baby pledge. I do too....

Just to make sure I am not misleading anyone, that cute baby is not me. It is from a graphic made for me by a .gif guru (who does not like to be thanked unless it is with accompanying hugs and pineapple pies, lol)...Billie saw it and her creative juices got turned on and walla, a beautiful pledge graphic.

It is cute, it is special but not as special as the ones she and Mama_Bear did for Diver Dave-that baby and little boy are real live people, his grandsons!

[Billie]

Sounds like a couple of nice trips you have planned, JL! Hope they are both fantastic weekends!

[daisyscarlett]

What a cute caption on those glorious eagles. It really does look the one in the middle is talking up our Profile Pages...lol and thanks....

[daisyscarlett]

When I was putting this column together, I remembered what Skinny said after PP#1-he chided Billie cauz whoever made the cut and she did not. Now here he goes again....lol....I luv it....

[Billie]

How cute! That one in the middle is really tellin' him about it, huh?!

[blackie]

Good morning ClaraSuzanne, how are you doing ?

[Billie]

Billie, I'm sorry that your profile page again failed to make the cut. :-)

LOL! You are not! :) And, hey, where's YOURS, Smarty?!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good morning, Ms.Daisy. : )

I tend to be a bit partial to Just Amy's profile. LOL

[Billie]

Thanks, Aqua - I did have a nice weekend - got some things done away from here....something that it looks like we all needed to do! It's one reason we didn't want to commit to a new profile on the weekends, too - gives everyone the chance to drop in if they want to, but not afraid they'll miss anything if they don't.

Besides, it makes Monday something to look forward to, right?! :)

[Billie]

Hey, blackie - too hot for a ride?

[Pippin]

i'm doing fine!

[Billie]

Yeah, where IS the calendar? I always look forward to seeing what the new day is about.

You're welcome for the pledge thingie - we can do the pledge with just about any graphic, and it's still beautiful, isn't it?!

[Pippin]

Somehow I kinda thought you would favor Amy's, LOL!!

How are you doing today?

[Billie]

Now here he goes again....lol....I luv it....

I do, too. LOL! (I just luv that guy, period! He NEVER fails to make me smile!)

[WVNan]

Hi Clara, how was your weekend? I've been away for most of it myself. I got behind on the news. Hope you had a good rest and renewal.

[Billie]

I tend to be a bit partial to Just Amy's profile. LOL

I wonder why?! LOL! Hi, TLL!

[daisyscarlett]

I want you to know that JustAmy worked her buns off to get her Page finished by today.....Her last message to me was, in the likes of "I think I am finally done unless Louie sends me another .gif"...lol..

For you Amy,

[Pippin]

Hi, Nan! I had a great weekend!
