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.

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review those who've been featured during the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello to them now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. :)

Hi, Aqua!
From where you are I'd say if you left at midnight you could be there in time for the steaks.
There'll be plenty of scraps for Daisy Mae!

A Texas cook-out sounds so good and Daisy Mae loves steaks! :)

You'll have to enjoy it for us. Daisy would have a fit if she knew about this.

You'd have to go a really far mile to taste anything better than the thick Angus t-bone (my favorite cut) I just broiled!
It was tender enough to cut with a fork.

You can have all the rib eyes in Texas, TC..:))
I wanna be 'steered' to the Angus dudes from wherever they came....

Don't git no better'n that!!

It was beautiful...been out and about taking lots of pictures of the flowers. Will be posting them soon...need to find a way to upload them from my scanner without having a zillion pixels involved. Mr. Aqua's computer whiz cousin is coming over tomorrow and I plan to pick his brain a little. :)

Hope you had a good one too!

Anybody that would put sauce on a good cut of meat ain't a Texan, no matter what their birth certificate says.

Thank heaven!

It always amazes me when persons drown a fine cut of steak with A-1 or other sauces.
Might as well tip the A-1 bottle and drink it straight, for all the good it is, ruinin' the taste of the steak!

(but then yew are a con-a-sewer..:))

Do you know how Dix is?

Dix is just as ugly and mean as he ever was, I think.
I haven't seen him yet, but he's going to come to the shoot-out.
He has to start chemo when he gets back.
