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 time for "Name That FReeper" again! Are you ready? It may be tough. These are oldies...I mean, WAAAAAAAAAAY back maybe a couple of years ago. :) Got your thinking caps on? No hints, but you can cheat and see if you recognize them in the Freeper Album. (If you can find the Freeper Album) Or you might can find a link to them on somebody's profile page, but I'm not tellin'. :)











Ok, first of all, that really "is" Tom Selleck, so disregard that one.
The original Freeper didn't want his picture on FR.





Thanks for Playing Name That FReeper!
These are ALL just more of FR's Finest!

The guy's good, folks!
Thanks, Mixer!

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me an FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

MaineRebel was Active Duty Military for a total of 26 years. He was in the U.S. Army from 1964-1968, serving in VietNam from June 66 until July 67 (6BN 27th Artillary). He received, not one but, two Purple Hearts for injuries sustained while serving in VietNam. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1970 and retired in 1992.

"Felled" has two means -- to be struck down or to be killed. In this context, I'm assuming it's "killed." I pray for him still, though, for his eternal Soul. Sigh.

I know, it's not fair to "newbies" to post pics from two years ago. :)

Well, it's MY fault for not "getting a clue" and joining FR sooner!! :-)

Good comeback, dear Sistah!

Oh, my. I think I misinterpreted the meaning conveyed by "felled". I found the prayer thread, and I think you're right. I'll have that comment removed and reply appropriately on the prayer thread. Thanks, my FRiend, for bringing this to my attention...

LOL! You're funny! Naming them without really naming them! So tell me the truth, did you really know who ANY of them were without looking?



Well, you know, if daisy isn't ever going to feature mine, I HAVE to resort to sneaky. LOL!

I was going by the first sentence. "We lost a Freeper last night." Maybe we should somehow get clarification from someone. I'm not sure who received the e-mail.

LOL! After the FR Inauguration Ball in DC when Dubya was sworn in, I never SAW so many pictures of FReepers - everyone that went had pictures of 'everyone' that went, and I scoured just about every single one of them! Unfortunately, most of them were hosted by Photo Point.....and lost forever. : ( I hope that most also saved them on their hard drive or elsewhere.

I have trouble recognizing faces from pictures. Some are so different they are easy to remember, like you & Amy and Kristinn and Angelwood. But, unless I see them many times over or meet them in person, it's difficult for me to put the names & faces together. I'm not sure that I've ever met Bob J. I remember meeting a lot of people in D.C. and some of them I remember because I have pictures of them in my album. The man in the rear right looks to me like Physicist.

I know what you mean. If "passed away" had been used instead of "felled", I wouldn't have misconstrued it.

There is a prayer thread for SheLion linked below. I am sorry I didn't make my post clear - I didn't copy all of the message that I got. MaineRebel didn't make it...it was very quick from what I understand. Here is the prayer thread:

Hi, Nan. Thank you for this cute graphic and the sweet words and graphic last night. It was really nice talking to you in FReep mail - we should do it more often. :)

How is YOUR husband doing now? And you. :)
