A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and 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....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

They come in all shapes and sizes,



Colors and textures and densities.





Some are squishy



Some are solid



And some even have beans in their bottoms!





They have long legs



And short legs.





They can be boy bears





And girl bears.





There are bear families



And even bear singles.



Some are just downright *different*.





No matter what they look like,
however they feel
Love from a teddy bear
is love that is real.



Come share your favorite teddy bear story
with all of us here at the Finest!

I Pledge Allegiance
To the Flag of the
United States of America
And to the Republic
For Which it Stands
One Nation Under GOD
Indivisible With Liberty
And Justice For All

Please join us here at the Finest to honor
Teddy Bears of all shapes, sizes, colors and persuasions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, I have it on very good authority that it is our very own *The Mayor's* birthday today.
Rus, we appreciate all that you do on the
Finest and above all, have a Happy and Blessed Birthday!

[dansangel]

God Bless Our Military

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Dansangel; Dutchess; Mama_Bear; Aquamarine; and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
