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. :)

So, how many proposals of marriage have you received via FReepmail since LadyX posted that pic of your good-looking self? ;-)

[ru4liberty]

NOW LOUIEEEEEE!! You bad boyyeee!! (giving limp wristed wave of hand)

Yikes! Did I speak too soon about the marriage proposals?????

[Billie]

Hi, Dave! Gosh, the last two weekends no one was around very much - now it looks like everyone wants to stop in and chat for a while, and I need to catch up with what's going on! No complaints! It's nice to be here and see others here!

[Billie]

Looks like my back yard. :)

[WVNan]

All my gifs are gifts. Here is one last shot of the most beautiful state.

Looks just like the bar in our house. :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good grief! He was wearing a tank top when I first posted the pic. I'm shocked!

Billie must have done the 'editing'. Or Mama_Bear. LOL

[ru4liberty]

Looks like my back yard

Mine too, only on a smaller scale.

[Billie]

Awwwww, Lambchop/Chopper is a cutie!

Hey, I'd also like to meet JustFrank. Wonder why Amy won't let him come around when "I'M" around? :)

[Pippin]

Good afternoon, DD!

Happy Birthday, Dubya!

[ru4liberty]

Wow! Is that WV? Maybe I'll come visit you this winter.

[Pippin]

There are 3 shots there of Wild Wonderful West Virginia. The wild beauty here is breathtaking. Life is "laid back" and the people are the salt of the earth. They still have a certain amount of innocence. That is why the Dems can fool them into voting for them. They aren't stupid, but they have long memories, and those memories involve the fight for humane working conditions in the mines. The history of this state reads like a novel. If you want to get a flavor of W.V.'s past, watch a movie called Matewan. It is a great movie and was filmed in W.V. at a ghosttown named Thurman. I've been to Thurman and it's filled with ghosts of the past. W.V. has top notch ski resorts, some of the wildest whitewater rafting on the planet and it's a rock climber's paradise. One has the choise of vacationing at a 5 star resort (Greenbrier) or rent a cabin in the mountains where the bear, deer and wild turkeys are teeming. Hey, I think the office of tourism should hire me. I'm not a native of W.V., but I love and appreciate it so much, having lived so many other places.

ROTFL!!!!!!!
