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.

Morning, Gail, such 'prtty' toast it is. :)

[lodwick]

;-) I've had one cat, in over 40 years of being owned by kitties, that would have supported this new tellie channel.

Thanks for the gorgeous Texas sunrise. So beautiful.

[Billie]

Good morning to daisy and loddy, two more of the reasons this is the finest thread. :)

[lodwick]

Good morning there Pipps - thanks for the lovely patriotic globe. Have a good one - ya hear? ;-)

[lodwick]

Hi there WesTex - nice to see you up at the crack o'dawn today. It should be semi-beautiful here today with the hope of rain for the next couple of days...dog bathing may be in my day's plans. ;-(

[xp38]

And it's a croissant!! The mocking insult to the symbol of Islam. :)

[Billie]

Good morning, FRiend Amy! Oh, your cartoon brings this one to mind.....!

[Billie]

Good morning to you both. Thank you for the warm words. It was a week filled with touching photos, prayers, memories, and we're so grateful to JohnHuang for his excellent essay to start the memory book for the first Patriot Day.

[Billie]

What a glorious (genuine) sunrise, Valerie! :)

[Billie]

Good morning to you, jw! Your posts are always a treat. :)

[FreeTheHostages]

Thanks so much! The Concord grapes were delicious.

[Billie]

Hi, Temple - a great day to you, too!

Pippin, that's a lovely globe as is your post. Your posts and presence are a sweet, welcome addition to FR's Finest....every day!

A toast to bread, for without bread, there would be no toast.

HI, Billie, and thank you

Sure glad that Saturday moning is finally arrived. It was a long and emotional few days, capped off by the rush and wonder of watching Dubya play such a masterful game of chess, boxing in both Saddam and Daschle.

Proud to be Texan, proud to be American, proud to be a Freeper...that's me.

Just checkin' in after missing the whole day of activities yesterday. :^(

Who, it's sooooo good to 'see' you once again.

We're heading for Oakland in a short while for a baseball game featuring my second favorite team...

Have a GREAT day everyone. See y'all later.

[Diver Dave]

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Little after five a.m. Sunday 15Sep02 down here. Yes, Billie, it is a bit chilly. Thud insists on sleeping inside on his heating pad. Seas are fine. Very few cruise ships around this time of year, although there are a few large container ships in the area. Coffee's ready. Looking forward to a good day. Later.
