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.

Oh, I'm sure the others will follow with their hugs, but you got it, wolfie!

(((((((((((((wolfie))))))))))))

[Billie]

Oh, what a DARLING page!!! I think they MUST have had wolfie in mind!

[dansangel]

Hi, doll, I've missed you! : )

I've missed you, too. My time has been limited on FR and it always seems to be when you're not here. :-(

I liked being hugged along with all of my other sistahs! :-)

[Billie]

LOL! Post #44, and yours is only the 4th reference to the thread topic! (Not that I care one bit!) LOL! Just way more things to think about than that today! :)

[dansangel]

My guess it's N. Korea.

I hope they've learned a lesson watching us in Iraq. Let's pray that they've wised up!

[Billie]

No hints, but clues can be found you-know-where on you-know-who's profile page. :) (will that work?) LOL

[Billie]

Hi, JVb - are you Darryl, or his other brother, Darryl? :)

[dansangel]

Hoo Rah!

Indeed! {{{{{jwfiv}}}}}}

Thanks for the grins on this happy occasion!

[Billie]

Thank you for my excused tardiness, Angel's man!

[dansangel]

{{{{{{{{{{{{Libertina}}}}}}}}}

It's been an age and a half since I've seen you! Enjoy this fine Wednesday and all that we have to be happy about!

[Billie]

I'm not playing and you can't make me! :)

Well, I don't even care. But I'm going to give you a hug, and you can't stop me. :)

((((((((((((((((((((T Man))))))))))))))))))

[LadyX]

"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"

Just when I was catching up and about to be exultant about events in Baghdad, you spring that on me!

Pointing the finger, are we - you and I who hijacked many a thread in the Good Old Daze of Whitewater?
With The um... SOPAC GANG?!!

Where is A1stus when we need him?!
We did more than our part to dampen flames..:)))

A Day to Remember.
And wouldn't you have loved to have seen Papa and Mama Bush when their little boy who also grew up to be President finished the job Daddy began?
Truth is greater than fiction this day.

[dansangel]

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

It will make your rally that much sweeter! Bask in the "afterglow!" I'm sure you will be in the company of many happy people and the mood will be ecstatic! Enjoy!

{{{{{{{Diver Dave}}}}}}}}}

((((((((((((((dansy)))))))))))))

[Libertina]

Same here, I've been gone for "ages", but it's great to be back :) Enjoy your day everyone.

[Billie]

Morning, Gail! Wonderful graphics, wonderful feeling this morning watching the faces of those Iraqis who can finally show their true feelings without fear.

I hope you have other good, personal news today.

[Mama_Bear]

LIBERATION DAY!
AWESOME TROOPS!
MAGNIFICENT PRESIDENT!

I couldn't have said it better! :-)

Flag waving, happy hugs to you, Libertina!

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

That question is under investigation by FreeTheHostages. I'm sure there will be a full report soon. Followed by a conviction of the innocent.

[Billie]

I love your 'fat lady'!

[MeekOneGOP]

Alright ! I look SOooooo forward to The King's next essay too !
