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.

New York, New York!
Like the rest of you, I'm "Getting to Know You", more of you, better every day. Today we shine the on firebrand, a native of East Orange, N.J., who has lived in Manhattan since her college years. She first became political in 1992 because of neighborhood events, and in '94, switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. Firebrand is presently a local GOP leader and is also active in GOP clubs around town.

firebrand
FReeper since 02-27-00

Firebrand has a high profile job as an editor of conservative material and prefers not to have her photograph published. Since she joined FR in February of 2000, she has become more than just a passive FReeper, and her list of accomplishments and activities include the following:

• Chapter Executive of the Tri-State Chapter
• (Prior to becoming the Chapter Executive, she was the New York City Group Leader);
• Editor of the Clinton Legacy Cookbook;
• Organizer of the Bush rallies in Times Square and practically every other rally and protest FR has held in New York City.

A few words about firebrand shared with me by another FReeper:

"She organized the Freeps in Times Square to call on Al Gore and LIEberman to give it up in late November 2000 and December 2000.  She was at the UN Freep, I think, the Mexican Embassy, the one where the globalists marched, we sang patriotic songs and the Cops loved us, extended our permits for unlimited time! Rudy in Newburgh, too, she was there when Rudy shook all our hands and posed for pictures with us, Kathryn Prudhomme in front of Hillary's campaign headquarters in NYC...." ~~ Race Bannon

I always enjoy seeing some of the threads linked on a FReeper's Profile Page. Firebrand has a variety of topics on hers, with such names as: Non-War On Terror; Best Memories of Favorite FR Posters No Longer Posting; Campaign Finance Revision Act; Combatting Christianity; Disrupting on FR; Democrats Mess With Texas But Run Risk of Going Too Far; Global Warming: Scientists Unravel Whodunnit; FreeRepublic.com Makes Page Six of NY Post; just to name a few.

Thanks, Firebrand!
You're One of FR's Finest!

I look forward to seeing you again when you return. Thanks for the Sunshine and flowers.

Well, how nice of you! You are very welcome.

I wish I could spend more time here, but this is the busy season for our business, and work must take priority. I stop by and visit when I can. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Mama_Bear. Is your day going well?

Yes, thank you. It is going well, but very busy. I keep trying to sneak in here when I can.

Thank you for that sweet little bear. I already have him tucked away in a folder with the rest of my bear family. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for the sunny spot! Could use some cheering up in my cube!

Well, it was great seeing so many new people here today. I hope you will come back often to our cheerful thread.

[Mama_Bear]

Good night Clara. Sorry I didn't get to visit much. I've had to steal bits and pieces of computer time today. I am hoping to have more time tomorrow.

Calling it a night here - thank you all for a great day! See you tomorrow.

[JustAmy]

A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Johnny what is your problem?" Johnny answered, "I'm too smart for the first grade. My sister is in the third grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third grade too!"

The teacher had had enough. She took Johnny to the principal's office.

The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first grade and behave. The teacher agreed. Johnny was brought in and the conditions are explained to him and he agrees to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3x3?" Johnny: "9"

Principal: "What is 6x6?" Johnny: "36"

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third grader should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Johnny can go to the third grade,"

The teacher says to the principal, "let me ask him some questions?" The principal and Johnny both agree.

The teacher asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"

Johnny, after a moment, "legs".

Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

The principal' eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer, Johnny replied," Pockets".

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put Johnny in the fifth grade, I missed the last two questions".

AN AIRPLANE FOR DEMOCRATS

This has to be a charter for Gov. Gray Davis!

How did Justfrank get over here, I didn't hear the door bell.

[JustAmy]

Hi GailA

It looks like everyone has said goodnight.
How was your day? Today on the thread was a fun day; meeting firebrand and getting to know her.
Lots of new people visited today which always makes for a good time.

[JustAmy]

"How did Justfrank get over here,"

You have to watch JustFrank; if he wasn't so ugly, he would be dangerous. But he is really just a nuisance! Tries to get everyone in trouble on the Finest Thread! LOL

[JustAmy]

[evilC]

firebrand, well done and well deserved.

nutmeg and RaceBannon thanks for the pings
