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.

Dutchy holding Registered's sign at a George W. Bush rally in West Hartford, CT.
There is such a variety of FReeper personalities here on Free Republic. It would not be a stretch to say that the Free Republic family is as diverse as the general public-at-large. For example, some FReepers are very visible, vocal and outgoing while others talk softly, but carry a big stick. FReeper Dutchy falls into the latter category.
Although his member profile page states differently, Dutchy first discovered Free Republic in September of 1998. At that time, he had to surf the Net from the local public library. He ended up setting up his profile at a later date.
The end of 1998 was a busy time. Dutchy attended the "March for Justice" at the Washington Monument on October 31, 1998 and, in his words, I was pleased to meet JimRob and Cal as well as Drudge and Ann Coulter. He also attended the Rally for Impeachment on The Capital steps on December 6, 1998.
Dutchy in action. From November, 2000, holding WORLD SERIES IN DOUBT, a sign created by Doctor Raoul. Translation: The NY Mets should get to play another game because they MEANT to win, just like the Dems MEANT to vote for Algore.
Dutchy had the opportunity to attend the FReeper Inauguration Ball on January 20, 2001, where he and RaceBannon assisted with security and crowd control.
Dutchy and N.Y.Muggs. Dutchy is holding an award given to the N.Y. Freepers.
Dutchy is also very active volunteering in local political campaigns at all levels.
Pictured above as well as below, are Dutchy and FRiends stumping for the election of Mayor Mary of Newburgh, NY and Lazio for Senate.
Dutchy has also been very active in the NY/NJ/CT Tri-State Chapter and has attended numerous FReeps/Rallies. He was instrumental in organizing two "Stop Illegal Immigrant Amnesty" FReeps in NYC in August 2001 and this past Spring. His profile page contains just one line that says it all: A conservative army of one, deep within the Peoples Republic of N.Y.
Dutchy looks forward to January 2003 when, in his words, The GOP will regain the majority in both houses of Congress and will work with President Bush to establish a Conservative legislative agenda. Yes, it is certainly a treat to be in the company of such an optimistic FReeper!
For those of you that have not been fortunate enough to have already met him, I am proud to introduce.......
** Dutchy ** "One of Free Republics Finest!"

Thanks, dansangel, for a great write-up, and Dutchy, thanks for being one of our Finest FReepers! I don't know if you remember, but I used your photo in a thread last spring around Easter, called The Boys of FR (Part I....Hat Tricks). At the time FR still supported "mouseovers", and if you held your mouse over the group of FReepers in hats, the graphic changed to FReeperettes in Easter Bonnets. (Sigh! Those days of javascripts and embedded music are long gone!) It's nice to 'see' you again, Dutchy, and hope your day is fantastic! ~ Billie

I especially liked this part of Dansangel's commentary.....

I look forward to being able to go forward with President Bush's judicial appointments, which have been held hostage by the "Divide Amerika" crowd that control the Senate, thanks to Jumpin' Jeffords the RINO.

Hey St.Louiel
This is my first post at FR so forgive a new dude the mistakes. I have lurked at Free Rpublic for a long time. My Air Force buddies kept telling me about the Canteen and the woman, Snow Bunny, who runs that site. They told me what a great gal she was, because she honored the troops and never talked about herself. What a great site she has there, but you all know that I guess -because I have seen some of you there. I didn't know about Billy's site until today when I checked you in forum but seeing what this place does now, I guess you must have already honored Snow Bunny as the most dedicated woman she is. Sorry Imissed that.
I saw that yuou posted here mosts often, so I wanted to thank you here for that wonderful poster you put on the Canteen yesterday. My AFbuddy is standing behind mehere, showing me how to post the picture I am telling you about. Thank you for putting it at the Canteen to honor us. Are you Air Force buddy? Where did you serve? My pal Gerry said he thought he rmembered you in a picture with an aircraft.
Thanks again ST.LOUIEl for honoring the Air Force at the Canteen. The Air Force guys here are such fans of that site. Please forgive the mess Imade of this post. Have an old keyboard that doesn't work so good.

Hi Billie! I am checking in a bit late today as I spent so much time on the thread yesterday that I got almost no work done. ;^)
