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.

SOME OF FR'S FINEST PROFILE PAGES #5
SPECIAL EDITION-SOME OF FR'S FINEST INTERNATIONAL FREEPERS' PROFILE PAGES

Many Freepers have taken advantage of the opportunity to create a Profile Page. The results of these creations are often illuminating, humorous, inspirational, artistic or biographic, just to mention a few descriptive words.

Below are some randomly selected FR's Finest Profile Pages. There are, of course, many other FR's Finest Profile Pages worthy of featuring, and we will be featuring them in future editions of Some of FR's Finest Profile Pages. If you have a Profile Page you would like to share, or if you come across a Profile Page that you want to bring to our attention, you know the drill - freepmail Billie, Mama_Bear, Dansangel or myself.

In the meantime, take a look at Some of FR's Finest Profile Pages #5 - Special International Edition.

Knighthawk's Profile Page consists of an essay by him in which he tells of his love for America-a love that he has had since the days of Reagan. He is a citizen of the Netherlands and this is very poignant and brought tears to my eyes.

Shaggy eel is a delightful poster from New Zealand. He changes his Profile Page regularly with interesting photographs of both himself and his homeland. This is a fun page.

Frednorman's Profile Page contains the following statement: "Norwegian by birth, American in spirit." It also contains a link to his very sophisticated and jam packed web page which has interesting articles and thoughts.

Junichiro Koizumi's Profile Page contains a link to his Web Page, which is printed in Japanese. What makes it interesting to those of us who are not fluent in this language are the links which contain some lovely photogaphs.

a-Turk's Profile Page also brought tears to my eyes. He is a Muslim, born in Turkey, currently living in America. In addition to a moving mini-essay, he has included numerous links providing information on Turkey.

Happygal's Profile Page consists of some cute comments, graphics and photographs of the sport of hurling. She is from Ireland and appears to be a Happygal, having produced a happy, upbeat Profile Page.

Oh, It's a Japanese freeper who is using the PM'S name for a screenname?

I'm off in about ten minutes, so I'll be posting later from home.

[daisyscarlett]

Another time you probably would prefer not to talk about is when you sent her a sweet pig graphic and her computer crashed shortly thereafter...lol

[daisyscarlett]

I could not find any Profile Pages from Russia today but it is interesting to know that you have Russian ancestors.

Do check with your Mom about those photos and get back to us...

[daisyscarlett]

Good morning special ping a ling...Wonder where the other ping a ling is, aka as G'nad...

[daisyscarlett]

Did they lift your posting restrictions at work?

Yeah, probably Japanese freepers have the same sense of humor as we USA freepers, using famous names for a screen name (i.e. Fred Mertz, Hillary's Lovely Legs, etc)

[daisyscarlett]
