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.

Want another? Who are these guys? You've seen 'em before, but can you name them?

Thanks for Playing Name That FReeper #2!
These are ALL some of FR's Finest!

GOOD MORNING

LOOOOOOUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!

Pancake, Waffle, Sausage and OJ nicks

No, it's about two hours south of here. Isn't it beautiful? There is an "Antelope Valley California Poppy State Reserve" near Lancaster.

"This 1,745 acre State Reserve, nestled in the Antelope Buttes 15 miles west of Lancaster, California, is located on California's most consistent poppy-bearing land. Other wildflowers: owl's clover, lupine, goldfield, cream cups, and coreopsis, to name a few, share the desert grassland to produce a mosaic of color and fragrance each spring. As unpredictable as nature - the intensity and duration of the wildflower bloom varies yearly."

I would love to see the poppy fields in bloom someday...

COB1, Louie, Dog, CoolGuy, lodwick, hole in one...I don't know about the other's.

Now that sounds like something to look forward to.
There's definately gold in them thar hills!

[Billie]

That is a beautiful valley, AND SONG! Thank you - and gosh, it's good to see you early today!

[Mama_Bear]

Gosh, I hate that you can't 'get into it'. LOL!

LOL!!! Well, I'm tryin'!

Love that calendar, Billie. Ummmmmmmm........I can name six (I should be able to name all twelve, but I'm drawing a blank on some.)

[Mama_Bear]

Good grief! That should wake him up. LOL!

[lodwick]

Mash here for birds and their songs

[Aquamarine]

Thanks Billie, I'm glad you liked it. I'm stayin home today and just bummin around. :)

[Billie]

I thank you so much for that picture this morning, Jim. Gave me something I've been looking for, for another thread. (I think!)

[Billie]

LOL! Yeah, Dave! Looking good!

Did you guess anyone else yet, Pip? There are others that you talk to every single day in the calendar picture - don't think many in the White House photo have been here yet!

[lodwick]

There's always room for another good uplifting thread - go for it. ;-)

I need my email bar to come back. There's only so much that can be done in the To: field.

[Mama_Bear]

There are others that you talk to every single day in the calendar picture

I'm trying real hard not to spoil the game for her. So, I'll just be quiet and let her guess.

[deadhead]

FREE REPUBLIC ROCKS!

Have a great weekend everyone!

~~~Colleen~~~

[Billie]

Just look how quiet loddy is being! This year is nearly over - this month's calendar guy is.....

[kayak]

Isn't that Cool Guy next to Dog in the top right? I guess no one recognized him because he wasn't dancing ...... hehe!

And kachina from the ATRW thread is flexing his muscles, too.

[Billie]

How about the lower pic? You surely know some of those, too. At least two of them are in the vet pics - maybe not today's, but they're in one of the groups.

[Billie]

Hi, Colleen! Thanks for rockin' with us!

[Billie]

GOOD JOB, Kay! How's the granddaughter this morning?
