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. :)

LadyX, I really appreciate you sharing your personal stories with us. It was beautifully written and inspiring as well. You definitely were Blessed by God and have two fine sons as well. Cute ending about the dog and the burgers... Hope you've "overcome" the aversion by now... because they are so good to BBQ in the summer! LOL

BTW There is a DC Chapter LIVE THREAD about today's FReep in the middle of 1000s of Leftist Troublemakers in the capitol. Awesome live FReep!

Thanks for the ping MamaBear. Hope you're having a nice day!

[lodwick]

Damm - it's really something! My farsi is not all that good, and there's no English button. ;-)

[LadyX]

"My farsi is not all that good, and there's no English button. ;-)"

I do believe Eaker wrote that right after sustaining his injuries with the M-1 and the Glock..:))

(Or was the latter your wound, gunner?! It gets so confusin' with you Range Rovers!!)

[lodwick]

It's off to the grocer to find something to burn this evening. Have a ball y'all.

[MeekOneGOP]

Howdy ! I've been out most of the day. Went to a Meek-Truett family reunion, and just got back. I'm still stuffed. Ugh ! And we played some 42 (Dominoes). Nice visit with family. Lots of cuzzins!

[bluesagewoman]

Thank you for your support these past few months. JustAmy, html really, really vacuums. You and Mtngrl have our respect!

For JustAmy and Mtngrl@vrwc. THANKS!

[Humidston]

Thanks for the ping, HG. Truly intriguing!

(Catch my response on your ping list.... WHERE did that new (between first shots/pics and last ones) bullet hole come from??)

To celebrate I'm taking my first day off in three weeks.

To celebrate I'm taking my first day six hours off in three weeks.

Sigh. . .

[GailA]

Evening ALL, not much action on the thread today.

[MeekOneGOP]

What a pair they make..:)))

Yeah. A couple of snakes.....

T'weren't me, I'm PEECEFULL.

[ValerieUSA]

What an interesting life, LadyX. You have a lot of good character, and so do your sons.

Prairie Chapel School in Crawford this evening

[Flyer]

Nice catch. I have several old buildings on my list if I'm ever near them at the right time.

[Texas Mom]

Is this real?

What is that supposed to be? Anyone understand Arabic? Is it supposed to be Osama?

[ladyinred]

Well, wasn't that link weird? It looks like OBL, but I don't know if it is or not. If it is, he was certainly wounded and half dead. How can we find out if this is real I wonder? Creepy.....whatever it was!
