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.

SOME OF FR'S FINEST PROFILE PAGES #4 Many Freepers have taken advantage of the opportunity to create a Profile Page. The results of these creations are often illuminating, humorous, inspirational, artistic or biographic, just to mention a few descriptive words. Below are some randomly selected Finest FR Profile Pages. There are, of course, many other Finest Free FR Profile Pages worthy of featuring, and we hope to do some of them in the future, perhaps on a regular basis. If you have a Profile Page you would like to share, or if you come across a Profile Page that you want to bring to our attention, you know the drill - freepmail Billie, Mama_Bear or myself. In the meantime, take a look at Some of FR Finest Profile Pages #3 Texson66 is native Texan but he has not resided there for over 30 years. So he has created a Profile Page filled with all things Texas, from armadillos, to Cowboy football, to bluebonnets, ad infinitum. Each image is a link to more Texas photos and information. If you love Texas or want to more about Texas, this Profile Page is for you. Eaker is a long time Conservative and hates all things liberal. He believes in the right to bear arms and his Profile Page reflects this belief. He also has included tthought-provoking quotes from our Founders and others, such as: "Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." -- Plato Cultural Jihad's Profile Page is really two Profile Pages for the price of one. This is because it links to an archive of Cultural Jihad's previous Profile Page. There is also a Home Page link which contains "The Wisdom of the Ages-A Series of Essays on the Cultural Jihad." Lots of interesting reading here. cvasnipe66 is very proud of his service in the US Navy from 1977 to 1980 aboard the aircraft carrier, USS America, as a "snipe". Thank you for your service cvasnipe66 and thank you for this Profile Page which educates us as to what exactly a "snipe" is and does. Great photograph and update on the USS America, too. dennisw's Profile Page includes intriguing photographs and information of birds and animals that live in water and on dry land and includes an article link about a recent fossil find about dinosaur-bird evolution. There are other items here, too, including views, links and information on the Israel-Paleo conflict. Pippin, formerly known as poster ClaraSuzanne, decided to spiff up her Profile Page just a few short weeks ago. Wow! She surely did do that. She has mixed .gifs from her many FReeper FRiends in with her religious beliefs and her love and respect for President and Mrs. Bush and come up with a very pleasant Profile Page. Congratulations, Pippin.

Your profile has been profiled! This is double-profiling and it must be stopped! ACLU lawyers are waiting for your call.

(I think we're trying to move to this thread)

One way or the other, I am going to get me one of those sign riders. I used to care for a local Coldwell Banker agents dog and I'm gonna try to sweet talk her out of one.

[daisyscarlett]

I am so sorry for the mix-up this a.m. I had to ask the original thread to be pulled because I did not proof it adequately and the bottom was a mess and Billie would have shrieked if she had seen it...lol...So I asked the moderator to remove the thread I posted at 6:11 and reposted the correct one here, at 6:49.

I am asking you good folks who posted on the 6:11 a.m. thread to repost here if at all possible. They were good posts.....

Thanks so much and I will try not to let this happen again....lol.....

[daisyscarlett]

Thank you for making your Profile Pages a bit special.....

[Pippin]

In memory of my fellow Vietnam helicopter pilots who were killed in that war the following were lost on todays date. God bless them all.

Another great day. Once again we ALL returned base and maybe caught a movie or even one of the touring USO shows. The nice thing was; we knew we didn't have any memorial services to attend.

SHORT FINAL TO SOC TRANG AAF.
WE MAY HAVE TAKEN A FEW HITS BUT WE ALL MADE IT BACK.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLADE

SCOUTS OUT!

[Pippin]

Good Morning, Ladtx!

good to know there were no casualities today!

[ValerieUSA]

Good morning -- I hope I'm posting to the correct thread.

[Pippin]

Thanks, ((blushing))))

[Mixer]

No way : )

[daisyscarlett]

Hi Pippin, your profile page looks great up there, doesn't it.

I had a major posting goof and we lost some posts but one of them was to you from free the hostages and he said he was saving your profile page to read last, for dessert. It was a sweet post and I hope he reposts it.....

[Flyer]

Good morning. I think this is the correct place to be.

Photographing real estate signs isn't much of a challenge, but I couldn't pass up this one.

[Pippin]

I hope so too!

Thanks rof putting me with some really great freepers!

[daisyscarlett]

Thank you for reposting....

And thank you for this new information you bring to us every day about the helicoptor pilot casualties. This was a good day....
