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!

Blessings on you, Nan. See you tomorrow.

[Billie]

There's .30Carbine! Hello - sweet-looking dog there. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Hey, you! Haven't seen YOU all day either!

LOL! I know! It's been a hectic day. I missed all the fun this morning, but I got a lot of appointments and errands out of the way so I should be able to come out and play tomorrow, at least for part of the day.

[Billie]

Thanks, Bob!

[Billie]

Yes, thank you, and thanks for saying hello to me before you go, and I do, too. :)

I'm ready for you to quit having to work so much!

I hope to be able to spend more time here in the future. I'm tired of missing out on all the fun!

Good Night Everybody!!!

[A Citizen Reporter]

I apologize for being so late to your thread! Many congratulations to you, Dog. You are a great friend and one terrific researcher!

[Mama_Bear]

I just luuuuuuv dogs! (;

and I just luuuuuv people who love dogs. :-)

Ever notice that you meet the nicest people at the Vet's office?

This little guy looks just like my yellow lab did when he was a puppy. Who could not fall in love with this cute face? Labs are my all time favorite breed. I may be prejudiced, but I think there are no dogs smarter or gentler than the Lab.

[JustAmy]

A blind man enters a Ladies Bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?"

The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, you should know five things .....

1 - The bartender is a blonde girl.

2 - The bouncer is a blonde gal.

3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 200 pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weightlifter.

5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.

Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.

Well, we've owned chows before, and they're sweet as can be. I know rotweillers aren't all mean! Must say goodnight to all and see you tomorrow. Thanks for coming again. :)

[.30Carbine]

Yes, I do love labs, all labs - black, chocolate, yellow - you name 'em, I love 'em!

Bedtime for me and my Tiger now! God bless and see you tomorrow, Lord willing!

[Mama_Bear]
