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. :)

Have you ever worked for the "Welcome Wagon".

Let me tell you something. I'm flying to Texas in the next several weeks. And I'm going to bring the Picante sauce made in NEW YORK CITY with me.

Whaddya think of that?

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you so much ! :O)

[EternalVigilance]

FYI...

See link on post #83...

[WVNan]

Wow! I almost missed this. I was just about to turn in. It was so good to meet you EV. The more Freepers I meet the more I'm convinced FR can be the most important political PAC in America. We continue to grow. Let us pray that we can maintain a concensus on what is critical for our country. I hate to see you go back to SD. I still think you should stay here with us. Of course if you are going to run against Dashle I guess we'll have to let you go. Good night and God bless. (BTW, did you see the pictures from our evening on the Nov. 1st "Day in the Life" thread?)

[EternalVigilance]

No, do you have a link?

[ArneFufkin]

You may be the first person in West Virginia history to have moved there from South Dakota.

[EternalVigilance]

LOL

I haven't moved here...my residence is still in SD---in fact, I voted for John Thune.

[ArneFufkin]

EV, you and I have rumbled here ... no hard feelings ... but I have to say as a Minnehotan who likes heading to wide West spaces: there is not an unhappy, curt or discourteous South Dakotan. Doesn't matter where you go ... Rapid City, Aberdeen, Sioux Falls, Fargo ;^) . Harley riding thick guys meet in the tens of thousands with literally no conflict. The clerks at Wall Drug will walk a balloon over to a little toddler ... just to google at her and be neighborly. And this is your worst tourist trap! It's a 1/3 beautiful, and 2/3 high speed driving state, and the happiest married men I know wed lovely gals from the "stealth Dakota."

I have a great ArneFufkin/Ted Waitt story I'll share some time,

[Mudboy Slim]

"Lautenberg/Mondale "Zumba" exercise video"

BWAHAHAHA...I reckon if both Dem ol' coots did the "Zumba" just once, the RATS would have two more excuses fer MemorialRATParties...LOL!!

FReegards...MUD

BTW...I need a big day from Favre today, can you put in a good word?

[Libertina]

Morning Dansangel! We're both here at the same time! Yeah! Thanks for the report on your shoot with .45man. Sounds like you had a great time.

[Libertina]

Good morning LadyX, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Pete, yet another angel is a good thing...

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, colorful FRiend. I can always tell when you've been here........you leave a rainbow behind. :-)
