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.

Good afternoon. Just stopping by to say hi.

[LadyX]

This is like watching the Berlin Wall come down - and more!
What a day you will have celebrating, and supporting the wonderful men and women who planned and are making this happen!

Tell the persons there that there are hundreds/thousands of us with them in spirit from Free Republic.

[Billie]

Mornin'/afternoon, Pip. I'd dance in the street with Louie, but he and habs are the Fred Astaire's of FR's Finest...

Oh, let's ALL dance!!!!

[Libertina]

AWESOME rally preparations, Dave! Wish I could be there with you all! Hi Louie, I'm back and feeling great :)

[MeekOneGOP]

Hey, btw ! Where IS Baghdad Bob anyway !?!?!

FOX News (Shepard Smith) just now said that an Iraqi Ambassador just made a statement to the effect of 'obviously there are some winners and some losers' in Iraq. FOX says that is to be interpretted as clearly them being on the LOSING side. Kinda like a declaration of defeat for the regime !

Gee, it looks like I'll hafta be changing my Tagline after all this time, huh? LOL !

[Billie]

Oh, good afternoon, jw! Much jubilation here today, isn't it wonderful? Do we have wonderful leaders and military men and women or WHAT?!!!!!!!

[Mama_Bear]

Okay Billie, even though I am a Finest Hostess, can I play name that FReeper?

I see one of my best FReeper friends, Dr. Zoo (aka Syncro), and our wonderful Finest FRiend, the creative lyric master, Doug from Upland. Then there is our FRiend from So CA, DoughtyOne, and I think I see Senator "somebody or other". I think those are the only ones I know. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, yes.....and there is another favorite, CounterCounterCulture. How could I forget him? LOL.

[MeekOneGOP]

Dancin' in the Streets ! Yes !

Waltz Across Texas Iraq !

[Billie]

LOL! I honestly am not even thinking about today's 'topic'! But I know that most know where to look to get the names anyway!

[LadyX]

What a glorious day for you and Mister Marine, Teacup!
Did us proud, didn't they?!!

Please come by often...we miss you.

[MeekOneGOP]

"We hope the peace will prevail" was the Iraqi Ambassadors words, btw. They just played the film of it.

[Billie]

Ohio, good afternoon, and thank you and your husband for Eric!!!! I know he is rejoicing at the victory in the streets of Baghdad, even knowing that it's not all over yet.

[Billie]

What a sight your colorful post is and how I've missed you! Hi, Libby!!!!!

((((((((((((((((LIBBY))))))))))))))))

[Billie]

Oh, Dave, that rally sounds fabulous! And the timing is perfect! Will look forward to your report!

[Libertina]

Hi Billie! I glad to see everyone doing so well! I missed you!

[FreeTheHostages]

I must decline this prosecution on the grounds that I am too busy watching someone -- not me, I insist -- rather thoroughly and hilariously freeping the right-column posts at our own local anti-American, ever-liberal dc.indymedia.org

[Billie]

I'm so overwhelmed and excited today, Lori. It's just the greatest feeling to be an American and to have faith in our leaders, knowing that they did the right thing, and yes - an in-your-face for the naysayers!

Hugs to my Sistahs!

(this makes 2 for dansy) :)

[FreeTheHostages]

:) Yes, the thread has been "hijacked" in the nicest way by this war of liberation. Boy, it does appear that the liberals are very upset by this. At dc.indymedia.org, some claim that these Iraqis are paid actors. They just don't get the fact that Saddam was a brutal dictator: they claim to understand that, but they're suspcious that people are happy to be liberated. Fact is, they hate America more than they care about a people's freedom. I wonder if today's events will change any of their minds.

[Billie]

Hi, Maggie - just finished reading the bottom of your post, and tears welled up in my eyes again..."A Day to Remember..."....yes, how proud the former President Bush and First Lady must be....and also his beautiful wife, Laura! Oh, golly, I bet they're about to explode. :)
