A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....08-04-03....Military Monday

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.   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 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 could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that didn'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 we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.
Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.

Remembrance

Turn your hearts, my friends, today
To the men and women who are far away
Serving us all the best that they can
From Korea to Bahgdad to Afghanistan


Their job can be so thankless
If we give their courage no thought
So remember what they've done
And the reasons that they fought


Give them every honor
Praise them to the skies
Those who made it through the battle
And the ones who bravely died


EV

Mornin' Free.

Ann Coulter arrived at our house on Saturday. She's made herself at home and is quite comfortable in the living room. Her conversation would fill a book. Mrs. Diver is enjoying her company too.

Thanks again for the introduction. :)

Thank you, sistah ((((((Billie))))) for remembering our brave military personnel, past and present.

We ask Our Father to protect these wonderful men and women and they perform their selfless acts to protect us. May we each find it in our hearts to thank a soldier for all that s/he has done for us. We ask this in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

You did give me great alternatives to think about.

You have permission to 'pull my chain' at any time :)
