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. :)

"The Girls All Get Prettier At Closing Time"

[WVNan]

Sing it Charley. Good song Aqua. Thanks.

WOW! If the Louie is calling for a Net Nanny Alert, it must be time for me to step in! (Why do I always have to be the bad guy on the threads?) LOL!!!

That really was quite a hunk - MUCH better than the his/hers beach couple loddy posted later! LOL!

Guess I started it with the calendar yesterday. Now.....hmmmmm, I believe it's Dubya's birthday today - let's have some cake and ice cream and cool off a bit! Don't know how many more gorgeous hunks like that we girls can handle! LOL!

I knew that when I saw his photo! It's way better than the one I posted yesterday on the calendar!

[ladyinred]

I think Amy wants to keep Frank just for herself! I hear she is the real jealous and possessive type! But that's just between you and me, no one else can see this, okay?

Yes, my little fur person is a darling. He is 7 years old now, and people still think he is a puppy because he only weighs 5 pounds!

[JustAmy]

"I got my bump lists mixed up. I bumped the Canteen list! "

Shame on you!!! LOL

[lodwick]

[ladyinred]

"Harris Ranch is a "fantantastic place to eat"." Where abouts in Texas is this place located?

Forget where it is located, what the heck does FANTANTASTIC mean?????

Actually, it is another one of those places that is in the boonies!

[dansangel]

"Sorry, Dan."

He's OK with it, I assure you. He knows that {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} are for sharing!

WELL,after a 3 hour charter plane ride, a taxi from the airport to the train station, which stops at the bus staion, which connects to the stagecoach , that also ends up at the livery stable surrounded by hitchikers, you wind up in California, about an hour from Fresno. Got it? - That's ok, if you ever come out here to eat, Ladyinred and I will drive you over there in our car and have dinner with you.
