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

That's great news Dutchess! You will have so much fun after you get the hang of it in Photo Deluxe. It's just amazing the things you can do in there and I still don't know the half of it! :)

Forgot to mention in replying to your FR mail just now....YIPPEEEEEE! You got it! (PhotoDeluxe) We will get together via Messenger when we both can. Let me know if you need me to resend you the links to the first couple of 'lessons' (and remember that Meekie saved and redid the very first Messenger session that he and Aqua and I had)

I had the greatest honor of meeting and FReeping with some BLUE STAR MOTHERS and family of military personnel while in DC last week. The Moms and Dads deserve a metal for bravery beyond the call.

Yes, the pledge graphic rocks Aqua. She's got those graphics down. (I STILL can't figure that stuff out. Here's my theory of graphics: "Steal, steal, steal like crazy from the rest of you all." Hee hee.)

Thanks for the post, Dixie Sass. I still remember ladtx's great piece on blue star and gold star mothers. So much there I didn't know about before. It was a good education.

I wish that you could have been with us Saturday. You would have cracked up when the Blue Star Mom's went after that - that - inhuman being of an excuse for a man! I thought they were going to clobber him!

Thank you, ((((Aqua)))) for bringing us Military Monday and giving us all the chance to recognize the brave men and women that protect us each and every day.

Dear Lord, We ask you to place your bloodline of protection around each and every one of our military members. Please protect them the way that they protect us with their selfless acts. Also, please give all US citizens the wisdom to recognize the sacrifices that our military past and present have made and still make to ensure our freedoms. With this recognition, give us the desire to thank each and every military member that we meet, past and present, with sincere and heartfelt gratitude.

We ask these favors in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

(((((((((HUGS))))))))) to my sistahs!
