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.

TELL THE CHILDREN

I don’t typically give such advice; please consider it a plea.

Turn on the television, so that your children might see

what an honor it is to be born in a nation,

that just set 23 million people free.

Let them see the honorable young soldiers,

willing to die to save our liberty.

Then tell them how privileged we all are,

to be citizens of this country.

So, just this one time,

turn on the ol’ TV.

Let the children see our countrymen who,

just set the Iraqi people free.

God Bless America

We won't know for about 10 days..the job was posted internally and they have to wait out the time. BUT the Chief Engineer REALLY liked DK's resume and skills, said he'd never gotten one with that much qualifications before. And flipped when he found out DK had done a stint as a Broadcast Engineer for PBS for a short time (1 yr). They have some switches they want repaired, some of the new digital ones installed, and the guy they had trained to do it up and relocated to PBS as their chief engineer. They even have their own Motorola community repeaters (switches) to be maintained. Salary is $40-45K for 5 yrs experience (DK has 29 yrs), 80/20 on insurance which includes dental and glasses. My fingers are CROSSED :-)

My fingers are crossed for you, too, Gail. We'll think positive - it certainly sounds as though this might be the one.
