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. :)

Thank you for this report, ru4. We have been

Beautiful post! I'm sitting back and enjoying your song right now.

Cool Navy Day graphic there JL. Thanks.

It's "Fleet Week" in San Francisco.

During the Giants/Cards baseball game yesterday evening, the ump stopped play of the game for a few minutes. It was during that stoppage in play that the Blue Angels flew over PacBell Park. It was a great sight to see and Fox gave lots of camera time to the fly-over.

You're welcome, Daisy Scarlett.

I used that picture for the link just in case anyone here missed seeing Just Amy's T-shirt.

Fresno does a good job on their weekly Freeps. Thank you all for supporting the troops.

"Morning Has Broken" is my favorite hymn and I love the way Cat Stevens sings it. I have the mp3, it is on the server at work, but it is over 3MB and would take forever to download. I don't remember the url to link to it anyway. I think I will see if I can locate it in a wav file.

Nan and LadyX, I think forgot to include you in the ping to post #187. Try as I might, I ALWAYS forget to ping someone. Probably forgot several others too, so sorry. Hope you are enjoying this beautiful autumn day.

[COB1]

Beautiful song, MB!
I also have that on CD, and it's one of my favorites.
Thank you.

It's been a good day so far. I stayed after church this morning and did some decorating for fall in the sanctuary. I always like to have a table of bounty at the altar to symbolize God's graciousness to us.

Strange & Funny Signs

Septic Tank Truck sign reads: "We're #1 in the #2 business".

Sign over a gynecologist's office: "Dr. Jones, at your cervix."

At a military hospital-door to colonoscopies: "To expedite your visit please back in"

On a Plumbers truck: "We repair what your husband fixed."

On the trucks of a local plumbing company "Don't sleep with a drip. Call your plumber."

At a tire shop in Milwaukee: "Invite us to your next blowout."

Door of a plastic surgeon's office: "Hello. Come in and pick your nose."
