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

Is Chevy's a worthy place to go?

[LadyX]

(ladyx is pouting because loddy did not hail her..:((
lived in Fairbanks 3 1/2 years, JL!)

LOL - I forgive you.
Leaving Eielson AFB at 0001 on 1 June 1966, by 0130 we had to put on sunglasses, driving in a southeasterly direction toward Canada!

I absolutely loved the fact the sun never set from mid-May to mid-August!
There was a kind of twilight for about an hour and a half, but only then did any house lights need to be on.
Men coming off duty at midnight went to play softball or fish or any normal activity.

[MeekOneGOP]

Done deal. I copied the files and have uploaded now. You can remove them
whenever you want now. Thank you Soo much, sir!

[lodwick]

Good afternoon there - since I don't use the ping feature, I make the false assumption that no one else does either.

Cheer up, I don't mean to ping anyone; I'm just addressing the guys I see on the thread.

Back for more, after some chores. ;-)

[MeekOneGOP]

Good job with your website. I enjoyed meeting some of your family and friends. JL

Thanks so much! FReepers are the greatest!

[ladyinred]

Chevy's is pretty good, but not terrific. I suppose though, that like Chadsworth who is a native Texan, you might find the Mexican food in California not to your taste. Apparently it is different here, and although we love it, Texan's have to get used to it. Different influence or something here.

[Billie]

Good day (noon for me) to all who are here, and all who were here but are not now, and all who will be here but not yet. :)

I've been sitting here smiling, reading through all the posts before answering any of them!

Coby, it's really nice to see you again - have missed you the last few days. Ahem! I 'did' see an odd ping list on my self-search of one of yours last night on yesterday's thread! I also saw a fantastic photograph of some very handsome, distinguished-looking Texan in a white hat and white mustache! No wonder Pip was sighing over Texans! Great photo! I had not seen it before. Thanks to LadyX for posting it here!

Dubya! I hope you have the best birthday today! Don't 'they' know birthdays are supposed to be holidays!? (read where you said you were going to work today)

Hope that everybody has a happy, lazy weekend with no worries, but do remember to pray for our country and our leaders and our fighting men and women.

[Billie]

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' Everyone. What a fun reading thread this fine Saturday morning.

Hope y'all have a GREAT day. I've got chores today so will be in and out.

Great pics and comments at the FResno FReeper Rally. Lookin' forward to joining ya.

Happy Birthday Dubya!

Harris Ranch Inn - Elk Grove

This looks tremendous to me.

Now go do your chores. bbl

[chadsworth]

Ladyinred had a request to put up a picture of our House Ruler ( her fur person). His name is Lambchop AKA Chopper.

He told me to wish Dubya a Happy Birthday from the Fur Person World!

And he wants to meet Justfrank.

[chadsworth]

Harris Ranch is a "fantantastic place to eat". It would make even Cob1 happy. They have a stock feeding operation and feed their own beef as well as supply most of the better steak houses in the area with their beef.

[ST.LOUIE1]

George wanted to say a few words.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, Lambchop is adorable! What a sweet little ball of fluff!

When it gets cooler, please bring him to the rally. :-)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Always happy to have neighbor's kids in for cookies
(but Louie has the milk, and looks like he isn't here yet). ;-)

I have arrived with the milk! : )

You do the milkin'! : )

[COB1]

"just like a you know, an "age" thing! (hee hee)"

Actually it was, like, you know, one of those, like, blonde moments!
'Course I don't, like, you know, know any one's who's blonde.......!

[ru4liberty]

More pics of Lampchop, please!

[ru4liberty]

For Ladies ONLY! A gift for the Finest FReeper Ladies...

Click on the pic.

[COB1]

Your quiet welcome, Meek!
I can leave them there for awhile now.
I unloaded some old porn off of it so I've got some room now.
