A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-04-02

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.

Good day to ya - we have two weeks prior to an election for "early" voting: it has NOT increased voter turn out, and just costs $$$$$ to rent polling places and pay to staff them.

Let's roll folks!

Happy Monday, Pippin!

I hope you're having a swell day up in your neck of the woods! It's rather cold, wet and gloomy here in the metro-Atlanta area. Oh well, I'm back to W-O-R-K so it really makes no difference! LOL!

Beautiful sunrise, loddie. I can always count on you to brighten up even a dreary Peach State morning!

Hopefully, I will have a picture of the St. Simon's sunrise to share....picking up my photos this evening. Had them put on CD because .45MAN's PC is down and that's the one the scanner is hooked up to. :-(

What a wonderful idea! I will be with you in spirit. I'll do my best to be home by 5:00, but sometimes I'm delayed. At any rate, my prayers will be with you all....especially those that will be out on the "front lines" campaigning for justice!

Good morning/afternoon Mixer!

Amen, Julie. We will be 'with' you all. Texas is another one that they are calling close, too - both Senator and Governor. I find that so hard to believe!

Have a great day.
