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. :)

Strangers are just friends waiting to happen

Thanks for the kind offer, but if I ever get outta this chair, and head west, what I would enjoy more than going out to eat, would be to go to whatever grocer there sells Prime beef, Tiger Shrimp, and fixing dinner for the CenVal guys.

I've come to the conclusion that having eaten in the best of places, and the worst of places - all in all, I can do a heck of a lot better job at home. Just get me the premium fixings. ;-)

[ST.LOUIE1]

"Sorry, Dan."

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

Sounds like a great guy. : )

Bless your heart, Louie!

Thank you, Angel....

...now, about more hugs. LOL

[ladyinred]

Besides, a good yenta is worth her pay.

ROTFL!

May have to explain that to Cobby, he is a Texan ya know! :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Tattletale! Tattletale! Hangin' on a bull's tail!

[ladyinred]

..you ladies can't post pics of half naked men! : (

Oh yes they can! I said so, and that makes it alright! Besides, weren't you one of the above mentioned pics?

[lodwick]

Good to know that the dh liked something I threw up here - what I don't know, but when he starts having to buy those obscenely priced cartridges - that'll break him of the habit. ;-)

Sounds like a new computer user to me. Back when, I used to print dang near everything that I saw on the internet - not realizing that most all of it would still be there for me to view, and not print out.

You guys have a superior type evening. JL

[Dubya]

Thank you ST.LOUIE1

Oh yes they can! I said so, and that makes it alright!

How many Net Nannies do we have around here????

You the *good Nanny? Guess Billie's the *bad* Nanny.

What does that make Libby? The *I don't care either way* Nanny?

Besides, weren't you one of the above mentioned pics?

Well.....yes.

But...'bad' Nanny Billie posted them herself.

Help!!!! Too much Nannyin' goin' on around here! I'm confused! : ( : (

[Billie]

Yeah, I might have to make Lib an honorary "Hooligan' kid. LOL

I love it! Do it! Add her! Only, I know you like to make up your own nicknames (I like Lib and Libby!) but I think she likes ru or ru4!

[Billie]

Not too sure of what ya mean and the mailbox. Think ya were gone too long!!! FReep Mail - I finally got you out of FReepMail and onto the thread! I wasn't gone at all, actually, Sandy!

It's nice seeing you here - I think you're on my ping list (believe I have most of the vets/active that are in those photo groups above on my ping list), and hope you'll come back and visit during the week, too. It's a great "Getting to Know You" thread! :)

[JustAmy]

Have a great one!
