A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....10-27-03....Military Monday
Billie

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

THE FLAG GOES BY
~Henry Holcomb Bennett~

Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!

Blue and crimson and white it shines,
Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off!
The colors before us fly;
But more than the flag is passing by:

Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great,
Fought to make and to save the State;
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of a strong land’s swift increase;
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverend awe;

Sign of a nation great and strong
To ward her people from foreign wrong;
Pride and glory and honor-all
Live in the colors to stand or fall.

Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums;
And loyal hearts are beating high:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Good morning all!

I have a rant this morning!
I am so tired of hearing Dick Gephardt go unchallenged on his remarks saying that George Bush is a failure! The question that needs to be asked by the news outlets, is who is the successful Commander in Chief, and who is the failed Former House Minority Leader, who lost a number of seats in the Congress to the Republican's before he recently had to turn his failed position over to Nancy Pelosi?

Click on the link below for the answer.

Failure

Good morning, Billie Blubonnet...)

Good morning to all our Hostesses and all the Finest.

I wake up today, the sky is gold and rose from the terrible fires all around me, but I'm far enough away to be touched only by falling ash and the hellish images on TV.

Also, I'm touched by news of the war. It rouses anger at the enemy, and the cowardly Democrats who would choose French way, were they in charge.

May the Lord be blessing our Commander In Chief, our troops and their families...always.

Good Morning..I've been up through the night listening to the news.Received a Freepmail from a freeper in Coalition Authority that I'd pinged to a John Huang column.He was hearing explosions as he wrote from the headquarters in Baghdad.I just didn't go to bed.

I witnessed a terrible fire in Goleta when I lived there,though they called it the Santa Barbara fire.It is terrible to imagine how widespread these fires are.God bless the firefighters,those who have lost homes and those who have lost loved ones.

Hi jwfiv. Was thinking about you as I watched the news about the fires in California. What a horror, my prayers are with all those affected by this.

Happy to hear that you are safe.
