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

Thanks ! I'm going to work on that that one of Soros/Rats. I can do better. I saved all the 'parts' used to make that up and so it should be pretty easy when I get to it.

Yep ! The 'RATS are all about power, period. Hypocrisy is no stranger to them. They are elated to have Soros' deep pockets don't ya know !?

And, thanks for the Reagan pic. I've saved it in my folder for future reference as needed ...

[Donaeus]

Thanks Aqua, you just made my day! :)

I know you posted that Reagan graphic for Dansangel but I'm gonna borrow it, if that's okay. I just love that man so much. I checked out Margaret Thatcher's autobiography The Downing Street Years and it has several sections of photographs mostly black and whites. The ones in the center section are in color which is where President Reagan and Nancy's are. My favorite is one where Maggie is giving a speech at a dinner and Reagan is sitting to her right, hanging on her every word. He wrote an inscription on the bottom of the picture about how much he appreciated and admired her as leader and friend. All I can say is, what character and class! Both of them. I'll try to scan them but it may be difficult because the book is extremely thick.

The happiest days of my life were when Reagan was in office. Below is a picture of him riding with the Queen. and another great photo of him below. If you all want to see more great pictures of him go here....Photo Archives

Be back after while.

Thank you, Aqua, for bringing us the tribute to our Military today; we thank them every day for their duty to and protection of our country.

Your pledge graphic is just beautiful, and I love the 'door's are always open' graphic!

[Billie]

Good morning to two of our Finest guys and hope your day is wonderful. Rus, I read your post about your interview this weekend, and it sounds like really good news. Am so happy for you and just know it's going to work out.

[Billie]

How nice to see you here this morning, PGalt. Thank you for joining us in our thanks to those who serve/served.

[Aquamarine]

Hi Billie. We posted at the same time. Thanks for the kudo's...was just leaving for a while.

BTW...thanks for showing me how to make those graphic's. :)

[Billie]

Hi, Molly - thanks for offering your prayers for those Ohio Ntional Guard units who are about to be deployed. They are all in our thoughts and prayers.

[Billie]

Your tribute each Monday to your fallen comrades in the VietNam war are an important part of our Military Mondays, ladtx. Thank you, and God Bless their families and loved ones.

[Billie]

Good morning (((((((hugs)))))), lovely ladies.

Spookie, saw your photo with Aqua and your daughter yesterday - how fun it must have been for you to get to meet each other!

[Billie]

Thanks for keeping us updated on your sons (and of course Leila and Ashley!) - they are like a part of our family here, and always in our prayers.

Your (and Mrs. ladtx') moving trip with Brian and family may have been hectic, but we know you wouldn't have wanted to miss it. :)

[Billie]

Hi, Meekie - you'll have fun with that graphic, betcha!

[Billie]

Good morning, Donaeus, good to see you again today. Missed you on our 'horse' thread Friday. :)

[Billie]

You make it sound so *easy* - LOL! I think Billie has "created a monster!" :-)

Isn't it great! Hi, Dansy! It's fun when you learn all the neat things you can do with some of these software programs. I'm glad to know that PSP 8 is more user-friendly than some of the older ones. I never did get the hang of mine, and mostly use it only to edit my Gif animations, because at least it is far superior to Windows Paint!

I really appreciate MIlitary Monday...thank you, Miss Aqua, and all our Hostesses.

Good morning and afternoon to all the Finest Freepers.

My heart is numb from the news out of Iraq and Afghanistan this weekend...my heart is raging at the Evil Ones, and the demokratski/leftist enablers who just don't get it.

May God always favor America, and help our troops send Her enemies to straight to Hell

[SpookBrat]

Thanks Billie. Aqua was more lovely than I had imagined. She's a pleasant, soft spoken, big hearted, easy going, fun relaxing person to hang out with. Wish our visit could have been longer, but we had to get on the road and head home. Her husband's not bad looking either. Imagine a conservative Robert Redford (when he was young)....hubba hubba...LOL

[FreeTheHostages]

The lucky Thanksgiving turkey at the White House, "Stars," is pardoned

[SpookBrat]

I just studied the pictures posted today carefully. I haven't studied them in awhile. You can't keep from getting a lump in your throat looking at all their smiles and pride. Thanks for Military Monday threads.

[MEG33]

Wonderful post,jw.Amen to your sentiments.
