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. :)

[Pippin]

I think it's mind control!

[ru4liberty]

Billie, you're so right. Lib and Libby sound too much like Liberal. Barf-o-rama!

I prefer ru and ru4 because ir4liberty. ru?

[Pippin]

Ah, Louie?

Is this wishful thinking?

[ladyinred]

Hey! You ain't Billie!

How do you know? You can't see me! :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Sounds like they're getting frisky here. I mean LadyinRed and Cob1 and Lodwick.
WOOHOO!

LOL!!!

[Pippin]

I see your screenname.

[chadsworth]

Uh-Oh! Lady sees my pic one time.... ....and look what's happened

What can I say, she has always had a thing for the young hunk type -- Sorry Cob!

[ladyinred]

ROTFL!
Amy told didn't she? LOL!

I am getting in more trouble around here than Just Amy and Just Frank put together!!!!!!

[COB1]

"I bet you thought it was only Marshall Dillon who was packing a loaded pistol!"

Yeah, now I know why I never saw Miss (?) Kitty bringing him a cup of coffee in bed with the covers all rumpled from .....well, I'd better stop there.

[lodwick]

;-) Some of us are just Nannies - but the rest are just abusers, so to speak,

Onan - please forgive me. Shake yourself and come back ready to rock and roll. The right way.

[ladyinred]

I love those Dubya! Too true.
I better straighten up and behave myself before I am the next headline on your list!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Billie, you're so right. Lib and Libby sound too much like Liberal.
Barf-o-rama!

"Barf-o-rama"? LOL

I prefer ru and ru4 because ir4liberty. ru?

I'll do the naming, thank you. I AM the 'Don' of the family.

Let me ponder it a bit. : )

[COB1]

"Sorry Cob!"

Whatcha mean, "Sorry, Cob!"
Heck, I ain't but twenty-four!
I just had a hard life!
(No comments from you, lir!)

[lodwick]

;-) There's always the JesseJackson factor of "When I were a cook, I be spittin' in honkey's food."

You betcha - this plays into my gourmetness.

[chadsworth]

Well, Mr. St Louie1, I am forced to show you your compitetion. You think your buffed. LOL

[ru4liberty]

Neat poem, Dubya. I'm feeling very nostalgic right now. sigh

Happy birthday!

[ladyinred]

I see your screenname.

Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that? (VBG)

[JustAmy]

[LadyX]

Those are all too true!!!

Are you and I responsible for the train being derailed somewhere along the way??

Bet the young whippersnappers will try to claim that's so ~ ~ ~

[COB1]

"and be quick about it, I'm hungry."

Let me git my hat!
I'm on my way!!
