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. :)

A husband and wife had four boys. The odd part of it was that the older three had red hair, light skin, and were tall, while the youngest son had black hair, dark eyes, and was short.

The father eventually took ill and was lying on his deathbed when he turned to his wife and said, "Honey, before I die, be totally honest with me - is our youngest son my child?"

The wife replied, "I swear on everything that's holy that he is your son."

With that the husband passed away. The wife then muttered, "Thank God he didn't ask about the other three."

Sorry I'm late but JustAmy would not get off her computer.
Did I see that Billie is having company? Maybe I have time to post two!!

Good evening!

I've been so b-a-a-a-a-a-d today! I've been hanging out on e-bay the past few hours....(don't tell .45MAN...he thinks I've been on FR all this time! LOL!)

I've been reading through the posts since coming back. Beautiful picture, Aquamarine. Thank-you! I'm so glad to see everyone is doing well. Great big {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}} to all of you and may God Bless you all!

If y'all would take a moment for me please, I have a big favor to ask. Please remember my sister in your prayers. She had emergency surgery Thursday night and has received a total of 4 units of blood, two before and two after. My mother told me last night that if she had waited even one more day to get herself to the doctor, she would have died. That's way too close for comfort.

Thank-you and have a great evening!

[lodwick]

Good grief Frank - thanks for that one. ;-)

[lodwick]

Done. God bless and keep you all.

Two storks are sitting in their nest - a father stork and baby stork. The baby stork is crying so the father stork is trying to calm him.

"Don't worry, son. Your mother will come back. She's only bringing people babies and making them happy."

The next night, it's father's turn to do the job. Mother and son are sitting in the nest, and the baby stork is crying again.

The mother says, "Son, your father will be back as soon as possible, but now he's bringing joy to new mommies and daddies."

A few days later, the stork's parents are desperate because their son has been absent from the nest all night! Shortly before dawn, he returns and the parents ask him where he's been all night.

The baby stork says, "Nowhere. Just scaring the hell out of college students!"

Heh Heh Heh
Well; that's two and I haven't been nabbed yet.
Shall I try for another?

[JustAmy]

Prayers for your sister and your family.

[dansangel]

Thank-you so much, lodwick. I've been enjoying your graphics!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

[Aquamarine]

Prayers said.

[dansangel]

Thank-you, Amy. I've been getting my grins from your graphics, too. {{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} to you and Frank!

[Aquamarine]

Heh! That's a cute one!

[dansangel]

That means so much to me. Your pictures and music are always so beautiful and so welcomed!

Rest well and God bless.

Thanks! I was trying to wake this place up with that last song.
Your warm and friendly presense is a welcome addition here.

A boy had reached four without giving up the habit of sucking his thumb, though his mother had tried everything from bribery to reasoning to painting it with lemon juice to discourage the habit.

Finally she tried threats, warning her son that, "If you don't stop sucking your thumb, your stomach is going to blow up like a balloon."

Later that day, walking in the park, mother and son saw a pregnant woman sitting on a bench. The four-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then spoke to her saying, "Uh-oh...I know what you've been doing."
