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.

It's A DOG'S World

"I am the proud owner of a 2 yr old Mini Daschund named Sadie.   I am an animal lover - dogs mainly; hence my screen name.  The name I wanted was taken....Mad Dog....LOL!"

Dog
FReeper since 01-05-00
New Mexico

The photo above is the only picture Dog has online, but what fun it was to put him in other places! Look at him below! He should have been a young man living in the 40's instead of now; the ZOOT SUIT was made for him! (pictured below with FReeper HiJinx in a 40's Fashion Thread posted at the Canteen earlier this year)

Dog was one of the first males to join The Guild; since he's always loved researching and investigating things, it made him an ideal candidate for the Men's Auxiliary group of the Investigative Guild. See his photo below, relaxing in Howlin's family room, where the group met every day.

Currently, Dog's favorite thread is America, the Right Way, and though you will find him there most every day, he still makes time to browse FR for other threads offering the latest news, or humor (people need to laugh more nowadays, he says).

Dog ISN'T an Elvis fan, IS a Bush fan (oops! he didn't want me to mention that. LOL....too late! It's okay though, because this is a Bush friendly thread), and he told me that Elian was the reason he came out of lurker mode and became an active FReeper.

I guess we can say, "Thank you, Elian and God Bless you." And to you, Doggie, I say for all of us......

You're one of FR's Finest!

Thanks, Mixer. That really is our goal, to just meet and greet and mingle, mingle! I think the graphic that Mama_Bear posted the other day for the first time said it all, and I forgot to save it. Daisy posted it yesterday, I believe! "The sunniest spot on the net" - gotta get that and save it!

[lodwick]

Good grief! Now you've gone and sullied Dog's nice thread. ;-)

I was watching FoxNews at a friend's last evening when that dim/lib skank came on the screen - I wished I were Elvis with my trusty .45 to cap the tellie. Conservatives MUST keep on hammering these jackasses with the truth and exposing their lies.

[ru4liberty]

Chel sez: But, Billie, didn't you make the logo just so I could show off???? (wink, wink)

[ST.LOUIE1]

I'll teach you but you'll have to be diligent in doing your homework! LOL!!

Hmmmmm....homework, huh? : (

Guess we'll just have to stay in the doghouse.

Or jail....depending on Billie's mood. : )

[Billie]

Another cute doggie - did you forget to hail Scottie? (or I guess there must not BE a Scottie on FR or you WOULD have included him!)

[Billie]

Awwww...bird, or pup...

...you're sure a cute little rascal. : )

Well, the little gifs are anyway! ALL of them!

[MeekOneGOP]

Sounds good. When the late night TV stuff comes on, I've long been counting
sheep! Wish I'd seen it.

[Pippin]

Lazy!lol

[ST.LOUIE1]

Gotta split for awhile. I'll be back.

[lodwick]

I like your new joke book Amy. ;-)

[Pippin]

seeya!

[JustAmy]

"Teach Amy and me how not to, ok?" by Louie.
"I'll teach you but you'll have to be diligent in doing your homework!" by Pippin.

Hey Houston ........ we have a problem! I'm untrainable and Louie is incorrigible!

[Billie]

No-one can out grrr Dog. LOL!
Billie can....if you make her mad. LOL

Betcha Pip will never see it. :)

[lodwick]

Run with the Big Dogs

[LadyX]

Thank you, Meekie!

I e-mailed the photograph you posted to my children.
The boys were 7 & 8 when we left Rapid City, having been to Mt. Rushmore several times in the year we lived there.

Before we left for Alaska, we bundled up our daughter, not yet two months old, in snow suit and blankets, to take a picture to record her 'seeing' the monument..:)))

Then we headed North to Alaska!

[Billie]

Why not post pictures of Spot and Barney, The President's dogs.

That sounds like a job for lodwick - I'm surprised he hasn't already! Oh, Jimmmmmmmmm?!

[Pippin]

Sigh!

Just what I feared, LOL!

[Pippin]

Thank You, Billie! =^)

[Utah Girl]

Hey, Dog! Congratulations, you are truly one of the finest people I know, a kind gentleman. :)

[Billie]

Then, I won't get Billie mad at me.

Teach Amy and me how not to, ok? : )
She's always threatening to put us in jail.: (

Well, DUH! Pip is always sweet, not just at times! You two are hooligans sometimes! LOL!

But only sometimes. :) You know I love you both!
