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.

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review those who've been featured during the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello to them now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. :)

Setting back and watching it rain, enjoying the lightning, listening to the thunder. Thankful I was born in America.

[WVNan]

Amen to that.

"Hi, Angel! Have a fine weekend!"

Hi Louie! Hi Mama_Bear and Billie, too! Just got back from power shopping. I have got to tell you....it is some powerful HOT out there!! The heat index is over 100 and it feels every bit of it. Glad to be back and hunkered down in the a/c.

Being from FL originally, you would think I wouldn't mind the heat. But down there, because it's a peninsula and surrounded by water, summers are quite tolerable. Here, outside of Atlanta, between the air pollution and the humidity, whew!

Here's another {{{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}} Even the heat can't stop me from giving them out!

"If we guys can't post pics of half naked wimmin.... .....you ladies can't post pics of half naked men! :"

NOW LOUIEEEEEE!! You bad boyyeee!!

(giving limp wristed wave of hand) You just let those ladies post allllll the naked men pics they want to!!

[dutchess]

Goodafternoon all. Poor Gizmo has been lame the past few days, hopping around on three feet. Turned out he has an infection in his "paw". We've affectionately dubbed him "the Gimp" as opposed to "the giz". But, our vet. said he'll be fine and is milking it for all it's worth.

Speaking of which....loved all the frog jokes yesterday...found the cartoon below in an old file. Enjoy!

[ru4liberty]

What a precious graphic! Surely you understand why I have to steal it for myself. ;-)

[ru4liberty]

Pets are such blessings, aren't they?

[ST.LOUIE1]

....the air pollution and the humidity, whew!

I know what you mean. Not the pollution, but St.Louis is notorious for HUMIDITY! : (

Here's another {{{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Even the heat can't stop me from giving them out!

LOL!

Ok, I'll take this one as my very own. : )

Sorry, Dan.

[Pippin]

Just a certian Texas freeper with a white hat and cool looking beard and a beautiful smile! HE! HE!

[Pippin]

Thank You, Daisy!

Although.....some of them aren't bad looking. : )
