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

The guy's good, folks!
Thanks, Mixer!

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

Good morning, Meg - Mondays are always hard for me to catch up - seems I get the thread up and then can't get back to say hello for a while.

(((((((((Billie)))))))) - Thank you for bringing us this wonderful tribute each week.

Dear Father, we ask you to extend your protective embrace around each and every one of our military members. Please protect them the way that they protect us with their selfless acts. Also, allow all of us the thoughtfulness to publicly thank all members of our military, past and present, for all they have done and continue to do to preserve our freedoms.

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

This Military Monday reminder is especially meaniningful on the eve of Veteran's Day. *Please* everyone, be sure to display your stars and stripes tomorrow (if not everyday) in honor of all of our military, past and present.

((((((((.45MAN)))))))))<-------my *favorite* veteran! :-)

(((((((HUGS)))))) to all and May God Bless America!

Thank you for the update on your sons, and I hope they both know how much we appreciate them. Know you are enjoying having Brad home even for a little while. I wish he didn't have to go back. :( Both Brad and Stu will remain in our prayers.

A burka? Shudder! What a perfectly horrible thing those women have/had to wear.

Thank you, ladtx. Hope you do show us some pictures of Jeff's homecoming. It's going to be very hard for you and Mrs. ladtx to let him go back. :(

Thank you for your weekly tribute to your Vietnam comrads lost in combat.

Okay !

I'll be heading out shortly to run a few errands. Promised Momma I'd pick up some groceries today.

Which reminds me of a story. Right after 9-11 a lady at work told me about her hubster's employer buying a bunch of T-Shirts. It had a picture of Osama on the front in the crosshairs of a rifle scope. Above the pic it says "America's Most Wanted". Below the pic it says "A-hole" [sorry] ...

She asked me if I wanted one because they had a bunch left over. I said 'sure'. Well, it was a small and too small for me. So I gave it to my wife. She wears it around the house, and not out in public. But sometimes I tease her and call her 'Osama Momma' ...

Hey, Donaeus ! Happy birthday, Marines ...
