A Few of Fr's Finest....Every Day....02-05-03....ThirtySomething

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.

A STAR WOLF IS BORN

Once a'pony time...
about 32 years ago...
a wolf was born.




     

ST.LOUIE1 his chosen name;
His mother always knew
This was not just any wolf..
He's quite special, it is true.

They came from every thread
Because he is so Fine!
This little wolfie, Louie...
The ladies clamored, "Mine!"




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Well....that was then and this is now,
And wolfie's all grown up.
Has he changed? Did he mature?
If yes means no, and no means yes,
The answer then is, "Yup!"


    


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Happy Birthday Hugs, Wolfie!

Now that we've established I'm no poet, the other hostesses wanted to wish you Happy Birthday, so just stand still while they line up - alphabetically, of course - to give you your hugs. : ) ~ BillieBlue


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

from Daisy


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOUIE!

Go ahead and pig out. It is YOUR day, ENJOY!

.....(hugs)..... daisyscarlett

from Dansy

from Dutchess


BIRTHDAY KISSES


For Wolfie's Special Day
All the girls are
lining up to give
a birthday kiss
and lots of hugs
to our very special Wolfie

Happy Birthday Louie
XOXO

from your newest "Sistah"

Dutchess


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

from Lori

So, let's cut the cake already!!









Happy Birthday
Wolfie!
