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!

Things we said in 1959 ...................
"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"
"If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
"Also, their music drives me wild. This 'Rock Around The Clock' thing is nothing but racket."
"Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the president."
"I'll tell you one thing. If my kid ever talks back to me, they won't be able to sit down for a week."
"Next thing you know is, the government will start paying us not to grow crops."
"Why in the world would you want to send your daughter to college?
Isn't she going to get married? It would be different if she could be a doctor or a lawyer."
"If a few idiots want to risk their necks flying across the country that's fine, but nothing will ever replace trains."

Hi, Libertina - pretty old Guild picture, actually! I think some of the ladies would prefer an updated picture, but they don't use the pic in the heading anymore so no need! We started out in Howlin's KITCHEN, then it got so full we had to start putting the later Guilders in the adjoining family room! :)

Well, I have to admit you're the two cutest hooligans I've ever seen, and yes, I'd rather you be hooligans on this thread than any other!
Pip, don't let them influence YOU! I know it's much easier to pick up a bad habit than a good one, but be strong!
