A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....04-09-03...Name That FReeper

Posted on 04/09/2003 8:05:32 AM PDT by Billie




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 think it was Meekie that posted that one just today on our thread, Aqua! Click on his name for his posts - believe it's on Diogenesis' thread for either yesterday or today.

Great photo Aquamarine, here is another one. Was watching this on Fox earlier :-)


Members of Dearborn, Michigan's Arab-American community
hit a poster of Saddam Hussein with their shoes

"Yes we celebrated with lobster, shrimp and a frozen pina coleda. It was so good!

Great celebration feast!

It was this that kept us all in front of our TVs this morning. Watching the Iraqis begin to climb up on that statute and tie a rope around it, then try to chip away at the pedestal, and finally getting the help from the Americans....a moment to remember.

This is all too sweet, after seeing all the anti-war protests, to finally be seeing more like this.

lOL! Hi, there! I know - that's what you told me two years ago when I posted it the first time! Hard to know how tall one is (or isn't) compared to someone who's not in the same photo!

I'm good - how are YOU?!

I could have posted the "Mystery Man" photo!

I scanned throught the Finest thread real fast and missed where Meek had already posted the 'Bushbot' pic. There is so much to catch up on here today!
Looked at MeeknMing's replies and still don't see the little Iraqi giving the thumbs up pic.

Here's another sweet pic.....

Has this been a glorious day or what???
I love that pic, and the coverage of the Iraqi Patriots
hauling down that ugly piece of salvage and dancing in the street.

We are witnessing the birth of a nation.
