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. :)

YES! So, it's a program? I KNEW people weren't taking the time to type in color codes for all those letters. That would take forever!

Beautiful graphic, Aqua. Thanks for the music too. I still haven't had a chance to troubleshoot my audio programs to find out why I can't play wavs without saving them first. I will get to it eventually. LOL.

Pip, that was a lovely, heartfelt post you made. We are glad you are here.

I, however, have to leave NOW. I just found out that my overnight company who were planning on arriving on Monday, are actually coming tomorrow! Yikes! I've got to run and get some things done.

It was nice visiting with everyone. I'll try to get back in here later, if I can.

((((((((hugs)))))))) all around!

Hey fella - good to see you here. The colorizer is a pretty neat proggie - from playing with the various colors and also the different fonts you can select.

With two freepers in the family, go ahead and get another system and network those bad boys. You two are definitely worth it.

G'Day, mates. We will be here three days.
All not in brig may go ashore, but wear a very warm raincoat.
Apologies to Fred in not having warned him we were dropping anchor.

We made good time and all appear in fine shape. We fully expect Pippin's hair will grow back in a month or so and all are sad over her unfortunate accident. Most, in fact have quit laughing.

Congratulations to our resident muy loco en la cabezas scientists larryjohnson and lodwick, to whom we are indeed are proud of their navigating us here safely, despite the mild problems of having to use michigander's badly stained chart of Lake Superior and having us headed south into icebergs that terrible day LadyX fell overboard trying to save Scuttlebutt's still. Thud is still trying to revive Scuttlebutt.

Since it is Sunday and I do have the scores from yesterday's football games and promised to not tell, I won't worry you about what happened to Tennessee yesterday. Let's just say it was tragic.

Don't do that!
Scared Thud and reminds me of ClasslessGreenEyedDyedBlonde or whatever her name was.

Apologies for poor proofreading of above post, but, hey, my fingers are cold. Lots of rain. I'm happy to report beowolf has been found.
