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.

[MeekOneGOP]

You and your brother seem to have the same sense of humor. Have you ever talked him into becoming a freeper and posting here?

Well, I guess the correct answer to that is "yes" and "no". He is registered, but so
far no posts.....

Have a cup while you FReep !

Thanks for the post. But maybe you should have posted the other half of the picture instead (Bob Barr). It might have cheered him a little.

I got this in email from my sister...

I went to the store the other day, I was only in there for about 5 minutes and when I came out there was a damn motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket.

So I went up to him and said, 'Come on buddy, how about giving a person a break?' He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil necked nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having bald tires!! So I called him horse sh't. He finished the second ticket and put it on the car with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!! This went on for about 20 minutes, the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. I didn't give a damn...my car was parked around the corner...

I guess I missed all the jocularity. :-( Y'all are the earliest going to bed folks I ever knew! Here's my humble contribution to today's thread:

Once upon a time there was an obnoxious Big-Mouth Frog that lived on a farm. He was loud and nosey and had bad breath and none of the animals liked him.

One day he hopped up to a cow and asked,

"Cow, what do you feed your baby?"

Irritated, the cow said, "Big-Mouth Frog, I feed my baby milk."

"Thank you!"

Then he hopped up to a dog and asked,

"Dog, what do you feed your baby?"

The irked dog replied, "Big-Mouth Frog, I feed my baby milk."

"Thank you!"

Then the Big-Mouth Frog eyed a snake and hopped over to her and inquired,

"Snake, what do you feed your baby?"

The snake hissed "I feed my baby big-mouth frogs."

"Thank you!"




Yes, I know it's old, but so am I.

Billie, thanks for letting me "borrow" the gif. ;-)

[COB1]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Thanks, jellybean, for the best laugh I've had in a while!
That is so darn funny I can't stop laughing!
The look on the real owners face when he comes out and finds his windshield plastered with tickets would be priceless!!

Meek, I'll post those flag pictures back on the Website tomorrow.
I had to make some room, but I'll put 'em back now.

[ladyinred]

Hey Billie! I didn't get here in time to play, but I want a real copy of that calendar to hang up on the wall in front of my computer!

It is hot in here!!!! Wow! :)

[MeekOneGOP]
