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.

Did anyone else see Shep Smith slip up in his Jennifer Lopez report? He had to apologize, but I bet he gets called on the carpet big time.

Rummy works for me - but he's not my p0ochie.

Where it a female, "Condi," would be great.

Hi Billie. Our thread seems sort of lonesome today. I guess everyone is focused on elections.

I missed most of Shep, Nan.
Every now and then I do cook dinner!
LOL

What was the misstep?

Hi, Billie! Have been out and about much of the day..:)))

Somehow Shep got his tongue twisted while he was trying to say that JL's neighborhood wouldn't throw her a block party, and he said b....w job instead. It can happen if you think about your brain jumping ahead while thinking "throw" and "block". I started to say my mouth flew open when he said that, but I thought better of it :o)

He'll be lucky if he isn't fired. It wasn't just a quick slip. He said it out loud and fully. Before he signed off he said, "I apologize for that slip. I don't know how that happened and I promise you it won't happen again."

Now you've done it, Aquamarine!
That was utterly beautiful music - my favorite kind!

Miss having a fireplace, hearing that - perfect for curling up and staring into a fire on a cold, rainy night ~ ~ ~

And the picture for it is perfect, too.
Thank you for the gifts you give.

I tried Dubya, too. Didn't work. This friend isn't much of a political junkie. They vote but don't get into many political discussions.

Weinie growled and got after the puppy when it went over to Weinie's food bowl. Embarrassed me but glad Weinie's well!

I rather imagine they'll hope it will be forgiven and forgotten.
It is hard to fill a primetime anchor's shoes these days, and he is their somewhat moderate voice, shading to liberal at times.
