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. :)

#1 - 20 - MamaB, good afternoon! Hit and run today as always!

Hi, Billie. Me too. I'll try to stay around as much as I can, but I will be in and out, off and on.

Have a laborless Labor Day weekend.

Thanks for the compliments on the photos. I'm going to try to bring one daily.

Oh, that would be really nice, Flyer. We love having daily visitors (especially when they come bearing 'gif's......and/or, jpeg's). Your photographs add even more sunshine to our thread.

Happy weekend to you!

Good Afternoon y'all!

.45MAN and I just got back from some Saturday "power shopping." We burned up the racks at a new Ross Store grand-opening (LOL)!

For those of you that may not know about Ross, they are a bigger and better version of Marshall's/TJ Maxx. I've yet to leave a Ross Store empty-handed!

{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} to y'all and hope that you enjoy your holiday weekend. May God watch over you and keep you safe!

Too bad you can't send some of it our way. We haven't seen rain for many moons (which is always the case here this time of year). I look forward to our first rain storm. It's almost as exciting as the first snow is for people up north, especially if we get a little thunder and lightening with it. :-)

Have a nice weekend, in spite of the rain.

Sure, FRiend ! Go to this link and see post #116 (link should take you right to that post). Check the part about "Pictures". You might want to "bookmark" it also for future reference (post #53 & 59 tell you how to bookmark). There is a LOT of good information on that article regarding HTML that is very helpful! I have it bookmarked on my FReeper profile page. If you have any problems or questions, just send me a FReep mail!

Hi handsome!!!
Well I was up and out early this morning. What took you so long to get here? LOL
Let's put our heads together and see if we two hooligans can find some mischief. I have been behaving since you went missing. (not) LOL

Hope you have't left again.


Let's see what we can dig up!

Thanks for the thread MB. It is always good to refresh the meaning and origins of holidays...

Not much going on with us today. It is 95 degrees outside where we live. Went to Costco this a.m. thinking it would be crowded but it was not-guess everyone went to the beach or the ballgame or to picnic and party. I was so jazzed at the thin crowd that I scurried on over to the grocery store - same story...No crowds.

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday weekend. I will check in again later or tomorrow....

Folks, if you have anything new, don't let Eaker get hold of it!
I really think he could tear up a steel ball!
Out of the generosity of my heart, I was going to let him shoot a few rounds from my BRAND NEW, STRAIGHT FROM THE BOX, M1 Garand, and he blows the darn thing up!
'Course, gunner and I had already set it up to blow to smithereens with the sixteenth round, and we fired the first fifteen!
By the way, lefty, you're gonna have to learn how to handle the Delsey with that hand!
