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.

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.

G'day, Billie!
Did the obligatory housecleaning gig this morning, and am in and out of this thread.
ladyinred, I figured Cobby had hailed you and chadsworth to his joke, so included you last night when I posted 'That Picture' at #314.
He pleads early senility, I see - understandable..:)))
Billie, since it was late and few saw it, I'll put it here for the Weekenders, this being a running thread....the official photo for 'Mr. Texas.'
Happy Trails, All!!!

What a great graphic, ru!
Our pets give us unconditional love, don't they?
My precious kitty, Binky, is a large semi-long-haired black male.
He lives mostly out on the screened-in porch, and is my 'early warning system,' dashing in if a stranger approaches - or if thunder disturbs his tranquility.
Then, he usually dashes to under my feet, or an under the bed spot!
