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!

3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.

[FreeTheHostages]

I have ALL the men's names!! I read carefully your hints again becaues you're a fair person and you wouldn't make it impossible for us newbies, I figured! I'll freepmail you my answer.

[dansangel]

What a fun thread, Billie! It's frustrating for us "newbies" although some look vaguely familiar.....hmmmmmmm.......

Hope you'll give us some hints later! :-)

Hi Mixer! If you get any good leads as to who some of these might be, fill me in!! :-)

Sheesh, the only two I'm sure about are Tom Selleck and BobJ. LadyX, maybe? I could identify some of them by their posting styles, I'll bet. Some posters are mild-tempered, some will bite your head off, some can spell and do grammar while others like me are human - you know how it goes. Good luck to all, I'm slinking off! :D

[FreeTheHostages]

Hope you'll give us some hints later! :-)

Actually, read again! She gave us hints to get the answers. I'm a total newbie and I got some of the names through a kinda "trap-door." It was fun!

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' Billie.

Coffee. I need coffee after playing this game.

Got 'em figured out, and I can honestly say that DD is not one of 'em. :)

[dansangel]

I have a link to the FReeper Photo album, but who has time? LOL!!!

OK, I guess I'll just have to let work get in the way and let all you guys have the fun!

{{{{{{{{{{{{FTH}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

[Fiddlstix]

Good Morning Everybody.

You Know The Drill
Click the Pics J

Coffee & Donuts J

[FreeTheHostages]

Nope. I can be simpler than the album.

Hee hee, but I've said to much! As per usual.

[Billie]

Morning, Aeronaut - you playin' this morning? :)

[Billie]

Hi, Pip! I read something 'very' interesting from Lori this morning, but we won't tell anyone else until tomorrow. :)

[Billie]

Good morning, Luis! Been a long time! Hope things are going great for the Banana Republican!

[Aeronaut]

Morning, Aeronaut - you playin' this morning? :)

I couldn't even ID Selleck until you mentioned him.

[FreeTheHostages]

.

[Billie]

LOL! 'Wanting to know them' and 'knowing them' gives you as much credit as anybody else - you all get the same prize.....there is no prize! However, the answers 'may' be posted on tomorrow's thread. :)

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL -- which gets me to thinking. Is he a conservative? If not, should we draw a big silly hat and even sillier mustache on him?

La la la -- I'm in a good mood 'cause the weather is improving for the rally this Saturday. I claim (within the DC Chapter) to have a "warming effect" on the weather. It has been suggested that this is perhaps due to "hot air." ;)

[Billie]

Yea! Three Cheers for Molly! :)

[Billie]

Hi, EMB, thanks for the morning bump!

[Billie]

Nope! :)

[Billie]

Well, darn! That was too easy for you. :) You got 'em! :)
