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. :)

Good Morning, Amy!

I tried to wake up Meekie so he can have Carlsbad bring us some.

You have a great day too.

BTW, are there pictures from Friday's freep to be posted?

[Pippin]

Good morning, again, Meekie!

[LadyX]

Good Morning, Finest!!

God's blessings upon your day ~ ~ ~may His Light shine upon you.

[ofMagog]

Got you a wig for your bald head.

Well, actually, it ain't exactly a wig,

not a real one or anything like that,

but there isn't a lot to choose from out here.

It's kinda gray and does have some long strands.

You'll like it.

Kinda purty, really, if you don't mind the smell,

which is kinda like Lysol or something Mama-Bear dipped it in to swab the deck, before we got her a new mop...

[JustAmy]

I'm sorry about not pinging you to the FRiday FResno FReep; I didn't take any pictures so I missed pinging everyone. Mtnggrl and chadsworth posted pictures on the thread; we had a wonderful time, as usual.
For any who missed it, here is the LINK

PS: Thanks for asking. BG

[Pippin]

ER......AH.......That's, er, kind of you Cap!

But between you and me, doen't Mama_Bear want her old mop back? I heard she had other uses in mind for it! LOL!!

[Pippin]

Good Morning, LadyX!

Beautiful picture!

BTW, You like the new "wig" ofMagog, our fearless leader, gave me?

Thanks for the link, Amy!

[MeekOneGOP]

[LadyX]

Kinda roundabout way to relate you gave Pip THE mop Mama_Bear used.

Have you no shame, Captain?
Thud ran and hid when he saw her.

[Pippin]

Ah! Coffee!

[Pippin]
