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

Ladtx, I haven't met you yet but I'm very thankful to hear that your son Jeff is safe. I've also been in prayer for those lost on the Chinook and the soldier killed by the bomb. God be with you and Jeff as he returns home.

"The Lord will supply a new one for me and my family."

Yes, he will. I know this is an old saying but, sometimes things happen for a reason. One door has closed but another will open. I feel really bad for you.
My Prayers are with you and your family.

Hang in there Russ :-)

We have lots of lumber companies here in WV and lots and lots of homes needing siding. In fact, I wish you were here. I need a new corner piece of siding for my house. The front end of the van went around the corner just fine. It was the rear end that caused the problem. LOL

Don't laugh. My husband had told me I couldn't handle the van, and I was adament that I could. Of course that turned out to my advantage. He didn't scream and holler at me. In fact he was very smug about the whole thing, pretending that it was okay whilst going nah nah nah nah nahnah under his breath. He didn't fool me. I knew he was happy because for once in his life he was right.

She's got those graphics down. (I STILL can't figure that stuff out.

You just have to train yourself, when you see something that catches your attention....save it.
Then take it over to your Photo Deluxe and work your magic on it. I learned this from Billie. :)

Uh oh - Donaeus, you shouldn't have tattled on me to my Sistah Nan about last night and our quiet, pleasant exchanges..:))

Nan, it was a vain attempt to show these other ladies proper decorum, and it kinda went amuck.

Kinda hate to 'fess this, but The Mayor had to put the hammer down on us all the way from Buffalo, like that time Diver Dave blew the referee's whistle on you and me !!

Believe me, I was very staid and proper despite them all egging me on . . .

It just occurred to me it all musta been Meggie's fault for not being there to lend a hand....

Hi Aqua
