A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

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.

Aren't old buildings fascinating?!
I love to imagine some of the stories they could tell.

Thank you, Valerie.
I have been blessed to have traversed - journeys strung together - up and down the Eastern seaboard from Florida into Canada - all the way from above the Arctic Circle beyond Fairbanks, Alaska, (living there 3 1/2 years, driving the Alaska Highway in winter and summer), to the Florida Keys. Lived in South Dakota and Ohio, as well as my home state, Florida - North and South Carolina, Virginia and Rochester, New York.
From age 18, I moved 37 times in 8 states.
There were 12 military years - 8 retail ones - and 18 in the medical field.
(5 when I was just Mom)

'Gypsy Woman' here, and home is wherever the Lord takes me..:)))
He knows I appreciate all His creations, and took me to see many of those!

Humblegunner = peecefull HA HA HA HA HAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok. Sorry. I lost my head there. I promise I will NOT make any more comments about the spalling of your word. (But boy, would I love to!!)

Seriously, unless my cough medicine is making me wacky, I see a wound on that dude's temple that is NOT there in the first two shots (pardon the pun).

And now a word about Flyer:

This is the man I entrusted with the Houston FR email list. I had guarded that list with a fierce sense of confidentiality for several years - even after I'd moved away from Houston. I tried to find someone centrally located in the city with whom I could place my complete trust.

And along came that sucker.... er ahhhh Flyer!

He has done a bang-up professional job! Much better and more slick than I EVER did because he's much more talented on the computer than moi.

Plus, he's just a pure-dee nice guy. No. A SUPER nice guy!

Flyer, it couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Tip o'the hat to ya, sir!

Good Sunday morning all!

Pippin, I saw your Profile on your grandmother the other day, what a wonderful way you have of honoring her memory.
Lady, I appreciate the sacrafices you made in the past as a military wife and also the brave actions of your husband. I want to be just like you when I grow up. :)

My mother had a mild heart attack the other night and I had to change directions and spend some time at the hospital this week-end. She has an irregular heartbeat but should be alright taking blood thinners the rest of her life. Any prayers from you all would be appreciated.
