A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-05-02

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.

SOME OF FR'S FINEST PROFILE PAGES #6


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, please take a look at Some of FR's Finest Profile Pages #6.


HairOfTheDog's Profile Page is a must see for animal lovers. She has ample photos of her horses and dogs, some on her Profile Page per se and some on a link to her photo album. She also includes a short personal bio--and guys, she's single!
rdb3's Profile Page is biographical and is presented in a very interesting way. It is composed of photographs, drawings, links and poetry. View this Profile Page and you will be impressed with this very interesting FReeper.
Fiddlestix’s Profile Page is an ambitious effort by him. It has so much on it that it is impossible to describe in this allotted space. Just visit it and you will understand. It is both fun and informative.
BellStar’s Profile Page is notable for a couple of very interesting links, one to BellStar's WWII Veteran Father's Web Page and one to the Web Site of Kemah Texas, an interesting seaside city.
glock rocks Profile Page has a photo of a Glock and, if you click on the photo, it will connect you to a site that will tell you everything you will ever need to know about the Glock. Other interesting photo links on this Profile Page also.
Terry’s Take is an artist and conservative political cartoonist. She frequently changes the cartoons on her Profile Page to reflect her latest work. There is also a link to her Web Site which features even more of her work.

I'm waiting for my 18 yr old son to get himself put together for the day and then we'll walk a block together to the middle school and he'll vote for the first time.

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond

That is my favorite Pink Floyd album!

I am partial to "wish you were here"

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Goodmorning Billie. Geeze, settled in yesterday after work for an evening of freeping and our internet provider was down! Grrrrrrr

Happy anniversary Lodwick. And happy anniversary to our first couple. Received my George and Laura book yesterday...it's quite good. Let's pray that their anniversary wish of a republican sweep comes true!

When I voted today I was so nervous my hand was actually shaking. The only other time I felt that way was the first time Mr. D. was on the ballot. I almost voted for his opponent!!!

Thank you, ladtx.
Four today ..... how sad. God Bless and Comfort their families.
I cried as I read the memorial to "California" from "Oregon". This personal information and memories remind us that these are not just names, but real people with family and friends left behind to mourn their loss. We will never forget.
Remember all Veterans on Veteran's Day, November 11th.
God Bless America. God Bless our Military!
Remember to vote!!

Hi, Billie, good morning to you and all the other busy little hostess-bees.

Usually only a single Queen Bee per hive, but Freeperville has plenty of room for more than one cuz I know you all are Queens...doing double-duty as worker bees...gathering honey for our breakfast table.

Always like the profiles pages, thank you.

Big day today, I am irrationally exuberant. Dubya and the GOP are rollin'...we may lose a skirmish here and there, but history will be made today.

I expect the McAwful/xlinton machine will pull some cheating stunts before it's all over, but no matter, the President's coat of silver mail will shine more brightly, and the Dims' mantle of ash and shame will be more apparent to the fence-sitters.

God bless America and keep our President safe and victorious in battle.
