A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-10-03....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

Morning, er evening or afternoon or something! Is Stu the Marine I met in D.C.? If so, he has a beautiful family and I just fell in love with his son, Matthew!

It was such a pleasure to meet you and the other moms and attend the Rally and FReep with you and the others. Y'all are an inspiration.

May GOD bless you and yours, keeping them safe. Y'all are always in my prayers.

We did some shopping for Maggie at Penney's today and they gave us a 15 percent discount on our purchases just for being veterans. I was surprised and pleased.

Happy Veterans' Day!

Amen to that Yer Honor.

Everyone should visit Valley Forge, especially on a cold winters day with snow on the ground. Mr. Mahon, our history teacher in the eighth grade did just that - very humbling experience.

A special prayer for my Uncle Joe who was a part of that Marine Corp who cleaned up the South Pacific - island by island. He is one of the Marines guarding heavens streets now.

GOD bless you Uncle Joe.

Oh, wolfie, I'm so happy you're back enough to post a little.

From the reports we heard, the pain was pretty much very extremely Extreme.

{{{wolfie}}}

I remember being in just a *little* pain when I broke my arm in so many places I was in surgery for 8 hours. The next 3 days afterward, I really wanted to get off the pain medicine as soon as I could -- but the pain was bad. So I called a friend who'd been through a lot of pain (cancer), and she gave me good advice:

She said you're not going to be able to watch a big long 2-hour movie -- the pain is too great for your mind to get distracted on something complicated. But to the extent you can divert yourself from the pain a little by watching cartoons, that could work. And it sorta did! I traded in Percoset for Bugs Bunny and it kinda worked well.

Oh man, nowadays when I stub my toe or something, I just remember *that* pain and compare it to what I'm experiencing and I just laugh it off. So I guess you've got that going for you: in the future you'll be more pain-toughened perhaps.

What doesn't kill you . . ..

Good afternoon, Girls. FR seems to be a little sluggish today - sporadic anyway! It's slow, and then it's okay, and then it's slow again. (Or maybe it's just my connection?)
