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

No one seems to care about them and it bothers me to the extreme and in fact is down right depressing. I guess you have to be beautiful and look like a movie star to get anything.

But there was quite a lot of coverage and pictures constantly on the news at the time of their capture, during their capture, AND their release and their homecoming, I thought. I agree we're not hearing anything about any of them now, and yes, there's been a huge buildup about Jessica Lynch's book, the interview, and the TV movie, and it's not going to be over soon for her.

WOLFIE!!!! You're back. Again!

LOL! Hi, Dixie!!

How are you at baking pies? : )

Well, the bad thing about it is that I wrote all the hostesses and reminded them to change the url in their own copies of the bottom link thingies. :(

I was just thinking, oh, I have time to do that later.....and then later (this morning, that is) I am late posting the thread as I almost ALWAYS am on Mondays, and changed nothing except the link to the weekend thread, which is habit.

T Man, you did NOT see this error. :)

I traded in Percoset for Bugs Bunny and it kinda worked well.

LOL! I'll give it a try.

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.

Sure hope so!

What doesn't kill you . . ..

You made me laugh, Freezie.....thanks. : )

Actually there was very little. There was more coverage of Lynch being carried out on the stretcher, etc.

It's my fault! :( The Album was moved, but the link above is to it's 'old' address. But I did check the new address, and didn't see your photo - probably .45Man hasn't had a chance to get it sized and uploaded yet. When they get a whole bunch of new photos in at once, it takes time to get all of the edited and uploaded to the Album.

lol, not much better. When you live by yourself, you tend to buy them rather than bake them!

I must admit my cooking skills are rapidly taking a downhill turn! I use to love to cook too. Cooking for one is a pain! Thank you Lord for Stouffer's and Marie Callendar and frozen single serve pizza's.

Is Stu the Marine I met in D.C.?

You met Graham. Stu and Brad are both in the Army. Mathew acts and looks a lot like his uncle Brad. Stu left for Afghanistan the night of the Protest. That was a heck of a note watching all of those useful idiots then getting a quick phone call before you son leaves.

Persian rugs are always a good buy. Gold jewelry over there is cheap, I've heard. A burqua????? Of course, you could always give that to the ANSWER group and tell them to start making a bunch, 'cause that's what they'll be wearing in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan when they go there to live.

You have a wonderful family, I was honored to meet the ones I did. Tell Graham and his wife I said hello and give Matthew a big hug for me! He is so precious.

Oops. Heh, heh. :-) .45MAN -did- add it to the old album just last week...I saw it. I guess he hasn't had time to transfer it to the new address yet.

I need to get over to P & P and say hello. It really is good to see you here today - I'm certainly not the only one here happy to see you back though. You've been busy trying to keep up with your pings today! :)
