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.

I'd dance in the street with Louie, but he and habs are the Fred Astaire's of FR's Finest...
Meanwhile, here's Louie's friend...

My man, Elmo!! LOL!

If we dance....you dance. Methinks you're a shy guy. : )

[Pippin]

wanna dance with me?

[ST.LOUIE1]

Plus the head and ass are interchangeable.

LOL Right on!

HooRah!

Dittos!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

hehehe ! I liked that one with the missing teeth too ! . . .

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL !

[ST.LOUIE1]

LIBERATION DAY! AWESOME TROOPS! MAGNIFICENT PRESIDENT!

Indeed!!!!What a country we live in. What a blessing from God that we do.

Hi, Tina. happy to hear you're feeling better. : )

[MeekOneGOP]

Love that pic!

I've tucked that one away for future posting purposes !

[Diver Dave]

We have a BIG rally scheduled tomorrow night from 5 to 8 pm. The local morning talk show host, Rob Johnson, and his station, KFIV, along with corporate and individual sponsors have put together "5000 Flags." Bounce-houses and games for the kids, hot dogs, music, speakers and 5000 flags to be given away.

It is becoming a reality after soooo many were disgusted with the antis and all the media attention they were getting. It will be a time to honor local military folks, serving at home and abroad, past and present and their families. I'll be your embedded reporter from the scene to counter the claims that might be made by Baghdad Bob.

What a great coincidence that it takes place tomorrow after today's events.

[Billie]

Hi, Pip - yes, I know! Isn't it wonderful!

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Aeronaut. Just now getting back to the thread to 'meet and greet'! :) Thank you for being here with us - doesn't even matter the topic of today's thread, I started to post nothing....just hello, Fine FReepers, let's give thanks for the victory that some are experiencing in Baghdad and the for victory that will soon come for the rest of Iraq.

[Billie]

Thank you for your post, EV. My heart is just about to burst for these young men and women who've given the Iraqis cause to dance in the streets of Bahgdad today.

[GailA]

I try to please.

[Billie]

Hi, California! Oh, what an exciting day. And to hear from one of the Marines that the Iraqi people are giving flowers to the troops.....it just keeps getting sweeter.

[Billie]

Hmmmm, I know him by another name. :)

[Billie]

If you know where to look it's all too easy to name all of them.

LOL! You know the trick. :)

Did you see "So Damn Insane" fall this morning?

Oh, I did, I did, and I can't quit laughing about it. What fun they had showing what they REALLY think of him!

I LOVE your name for him!

[Billie]

GREAT thread with great pics! Daisy, you might find some for John's essay right there!

[Mama_Bear]

And to hear from one of the Marines that the Iraqi people are giving flowers to the troops.....it just keeps getting sweeter.

Yes, it does!! Flag waving, happy hugs to you, sweet sistah. :-)

[Billie]

Good morning, BillieBlue! : )
Don't know any of the FReepers. : )

Good morning, wolfie! Doesn't matter - I have a feeling no matter what today's thread was about (unless it was a FReeper profile), it would get sidetracked.

I'm reminded of some FReeper a few years ago - when threads often were hijacked! - saying "This was a good thread....what was it about?" LOL

[Billie]

Good morning, sweet Molly Pitcher! I just want to hug everybody!

[Billie]

THAT is the picture that will forever stay in our minds! Forever!

Now, to have the Iraqi people find and capture "So Damn Insane" (thank you, philman!) and march him to the square, stand him in front of the pillar and execute him in front of thousands of Iraqis (including his two sons who will immediately meet the same fate - one right after the other)
