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!

Geeez, between Louie and Lori, I'll never get any cookies!



Guess, I'll have to make a run to the grocery store!

[Billie]

Morning, King - I don't think Dog can read your message - could you make the font a little bigger or something? LOL!

I like these new hours you're keeping. :)

[Miss Marple]

Hi, Billie! How nice of you to feature one of my favorite friends on FR.... Dog! He is an ace at nuking disruptors, loves to investigate, and loves his dog Sadie! He is also completing the remodeling of his home! He is also very kind-hearted, although he probably wouldn't want me to sound too gooey! LOL!

Congratulations on a well-deserved honor, Dog!

I thought Dog was from New Jersey, though.

Hey, there, ping-a-ling! That's a cute coffee-drinking gif! You're putting out fires now too?! What a hero! :)

How cute, Gail! I just love seeing what you and everyone posts - some of the cutest and some of the sweetest and some of the prettiest graphics every day!

[Teacup]

Hi Doggie. You are one of my favorite Freepers. Always have been and i hope, always will. Dog, you have a wonderful way about you. Your sweet and kind. Don't ever change.

[Billie]

LOL! I'm sure we'll be hearing from them soon. :)
