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

Thank you Cuz, for standing in for us. I went to the Rally and dinner for the House Managers. Haven't been able to go back yet. I had a ticket for the inaugaral ball, but my Mom got too sick for me to leave her. She died that Feb.3, so it's a good thing I didn't leave her. I will go to another event when the opportunity presents. My hubby's niece and brother both live in the area.

Hi neighbor. Can you believe this warm weather? Don't you just know that we are going to get clobbered for this before long? The Wooley Worms are calling for a hard winter.

"we are the model of decorum!"

See - that is what I tried so hard to show Donaeus and Calpernia and Libertina last night.
Why weren't you there to help?!

Ended up with Donaeus inviting me to stay on her aunt's front porch where true loonies belong..:))

Where did I go wrong, Cuzzz??

I am, FTH...all psyched up for the 10th.
Then and thereafter, I can never be accused of being "a quart low"..:))
Will always be two liters (a tad over two quarts) overly full!
Wanna take side bets on whether or not I will slosh from side to side when I walk? LOL

Welcome to the club. I'm trying to come down with a cold too. But I'm popping enough Vit.C to knock it by morning.

Hehe. I'm betting on the slosh going from front to back. Let's see...maybe an oversized girdle would keep things from sloshing. Works for me.

Does that mean you're hanging out with the wagon loonies instead of the front porch ones?

If you can catch a cold at the very beginning and take at least 2000 Mg. right away and 1000 Mg. every four hours, you can knock one before it gets a hold on you. Vit. C with Rose Hips gives your immune system an extra boost to fight off the virus.
