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 Bad Rap!

Bears have long suffered from an unearned bad reputation. Fear of bears permeates our belief systems. During the last century, civilized man has developed an ambivalent love-hate relationship with bears. People are almost schizophrenic about bears. We love them and fear them; we are fascinated by them, yet weary at the same time.

Cute and cuddly teddy bears adorn every child’s bed, yet fierce and ferocious bears torment us in our nightmares. We love to see bears near us, but we prefer the safety of a secure metal enclosed vehicle between us and them just in case.

I didn't answer your post yesterday? : (

Good morning, wolfie. I'm sorry. :)

[humblegunner]

I've found bears to be right tasty...

[Billie]

I love your pledge graphic! (and the kidprint font is perfect with it, isn't it?!)

[Billie]

Hi, Mo1! You need rest! LOL!

[Billie]

Good morning, Aeronaut. Hope you got your early morning coffee. :)

[Mo1]

Ummm Billie, were you that little birdie that told my mom every time I got into trouble .. LOL

Just kidding .. Love the gifs

[Billie]

Hi, Meekie! Goodness, when do you sleep?!

[lodwick]

Black bears have killed nearly three dozen people across North America this century. This no longer worries me. My chances of being killed by a domestic dog, bees or lightning are vastly greater. My chances are 90,000 times greater of being murdered by another human being. One of the safest places a person can be is in the woods.

I hope I get over my fascination with bears very soon.

[Billie]

Good morning, BIS - thanks for bumping through the weekend thread. :) Very nice to see you.

[Aeronaut]

Hope you got your early morning coffee. :)

Good morning Billie. Chicken soup is more in order today.

[Pippin]

Good Morning, Amy!

Meek! Where's Carlesbad with Amy's coffee?

[Billie]

Hi, Gail - I think I remember seeing on yesterday's thread you found a new puppy? Wonderful!

[Pippin]

HOWDY HG!

[Pippin]

Hi, Billie! Do you hear all them bluebirds singing at your window?

[Billie]

Thanks for these links, Meekie. Do so appreciate your bringing us links to threads of interest - you are so thoughtful, and I know that many of us go directly to those threads and either bookmark them for later reading or read right away; we might not have seen them without your links!

[Pippin]

You have mail! :)

LOL! I did it agian! I sent a private message to you saying you had mail!

But you really do have mail! Gosh! I should've slept in!

[dutchess]
