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.

It's getting close to Tuesday! See you then.

[Feiny]

Lets be sure to GET THE GRAY OUT tomorrow!

[JustAmy]

I'll bump that!!!

[LadyX]

"I want y'all to see just what is at stake tomorrow!
This little gal's future - all y'all's - y'all's children and grandchildren's futures.

VOTE FOR ALL THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS.
I NEED 'EM
TO RESTORE AMERICA TO GREATNESS!!"

[lodwick]

Good job as always Luis - thanks for this one.

Let's Roll the 'rats, we have to. JL

[habs4ever]

Is there a bellweather county in CA that will bear the most scrutiny as to the likelihood of a possible Simon upset?

I shudder to think someone even more incompetent than Jimmy Carter could get re-elected..grrrrrrr!

[lodwick]

Vote Right, Y'all

[habs4ever]

Nice pic!

Take Back The Senate!

[WVNan]

Don't you love that picture? Dubya makes sure he picks up a baby like that at every stop. Good photo ops. He did that right in front of us last Thursday.

[lodwick]

Just Check "R"

[cmsgop]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT!!!!!

Im in the process of Buying our first home and met today with the Home Inspector.

And I am happy to report that he found nothing serious at all with it! YIPPIE!!!!

Now whether I can use a Cable Modem there is up in the air. It's small but I get to stay on the Eastside in the Puget Sound (which is important to us) I am so wiped and we are only half way through this. Escrow closing is Friday Dec 13 LOL!!!! Thanks again!

[WVNan]

loddy, I guess all of us here at the Finest are pretty much absorbed with tomorrow's elections. I plan on voting early. Judging from the turnout last Thurs. for Dubya, it would seem that WV is charged up to vote GOP. But, I have a feeling that the local machines in this small democratic state will always make sure that the criminals get elected. In WV we are going to have to work hard at the local level to get Repubs elected as Court Clerks or whoever counts the votes.

[LadyX]

Evenin' Fellow East Coast Night Owl..:))
We surely will be that tomorrow night, I'll wager!

Ah, the agony of waiting ~ ~ ~
Ah, the fervent prayers that have gone up this day and, hopefully, every day
for our leaders to do the right things for America ~ ~ ~

[WVNan]

Lady, I think I will go to a revival tomorrow night. I think I'm not going to agonize over this election and get my blood pressure up. I'm expecting the worst and praying for a miracle. If we manage to hold on to the status quo we should consider ourselves fortunate.

[LadyX]

"Ya know, Freepers - I can't think of a single reason
for not voting tomorrow, if you're eligible,
other than illness or injury.
Most areas have arrangements for transportation if you don't have it.

The President and I need a Republican majority in Congress
if we are to wage the war on terror effectively.

DON'T LET US DOWN!!"

[WVNan]

Hehe. Rummy's guys did in a few of the enemy today. Now if we could only get rid of the enemy within.

[M Kehoe]

Powerful picture Billie. Makes me want to say, "I'm glad I don't walk in his shoes."

Late prayer going up. Blessings coming down.

5.56mm

[M Kehoe]

Well, since I'm praying, "Lord, let the Fish win tonight." "They could beat the Pack at Lambeau with a full compliment." Your will be done, Amen.

[Aquamarine]

What a bright eyed baby! Precious.

[lonestar]

I'm so jealous of your talent!

Does anybody have a good name for a male black poodle puppy? A friend has a new one and can't decide on a name. All male French names sound "fruity."

I suggested "George W" with no success.
