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. :)

[Aquamarine]

Good Morning All! Be back later.

[Mama_Bear]

Central Valley is therefore the site of massive banks of tule fog

Uh huh. And, massive pile-ups on the freeways. It is treacherous stuff. That's why we don't go to many of the rallies in the winter. It's like playing Russian Roulette to go out in that fog when it is bad....and it is bad all through the winter here.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Aqua. See you here later, with some weekend music? :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I have GOT to get out of here. I think they want our photos posted over on the rally thread.

See you all later. HUGS!

[ladyinred]

What's this about the boonies? I love eating in the boonies - they have to have great chow or the locals will stay away in droves.

LOL! Obviously you have a much "cleaner" mind than I do!
I have been to the Sherwood Inn many times, and the food is good, but the atmosphere is even better!

[COB1]

"LOL! Obviously you have a much "cleaner" mind than I do!"

I'm not going to touch that........as much as I'd like to!!

[ladyinred]

Opps! I always have such a big mouth!

Lodwick heard me too, because he said he likes to go into the boonies!

ladyinred spoiling secret plans as usual, signing off!

[COB1]

I intended to ping you and chadsey yesterday, but I got my bump lists mixed up.
I bumped the Canteen list!
LOL!

[daisyscarlett]

Good Morning. Nice opening pledge, MB.

[lodwick]

I try to be a smart poster on this thread - there's other threads I visit that don't aspire to NetNannyGoodness. ;-)

Gotta be good when visiting with the finest.

[COB1]

GOOD MORNING TO ALL!

Meek, here's those flag pictures:

Laredo Flag Pics
I left them big, but you may have to brighten them a little.

[daisyscarlett]

Good morning and thank you for the Alaskan sunrise....

[lodwick]

Good morning there.
I'll be dropping by as TheList allows. ;-)

[chadsworth]

Cookies-Boy, you sure managed to hide them well. I saw nary a crumb at the rally last night. :-(

Justamy was feeding Justfrank -

BEHAVIOR BRIBERY!!!

[ladyinred]

Oh you are good! It is just more difficult for some of us to be! You see, in my day, going to the boonies meant something entirely different than checking out the good food establishments!
Of course, I never did these things you understand, I have just been told about it! :)

[ladyinred]

Good morning to you too, ClaraSuzanne! I have been wandering around the forum seeing what kind of trouble I can get myself into!

[daisyscarlett]

Good Morning, Pippin.

I just peeked at your Profile Page and it is fabulous. I want to send you something from me for it too....Are you still accepting contributions?...In any case, great job....

[chadsworth]

I haven't seen JustFrank yet today. He will probably drop by this afternoon.

Did you forget to let him out of his cage last night -or is he still too full from the behavior bribery cookies?

[ladyinred]

I just about had them convinced that all it took was cookies. Now, the IRS will be after me! LOL

Yes, I saw that post! I was wondering what you did with all that money I pay you! LOL! Now Uncle Sam will want to know too!

[ladyinred]

I'm not going to touch that........as much as I'd like to!!

Ah ha! Finally a man who understands me! You don't have to say anything you know!!!!! It is a given! :)
