A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-24-03....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

I think I'd write a letter to the editor of the paper saying exactly what you did in your post with a copy to the Principle and the head of the food bank.

That was just plain rude!

Isn't it wonderful to actually get to meet FReepers in person? Without a doubt, they are nicest, warmest, friendliest people around....not to mention the most intelligent, talented and patriotic. :-)

That is so true! I was very impressed with Spooky and her family, they were the way I had always imagined people should be. Good American people.

That Food Pantry place sounds ungrateful. Maybe you all should find another charitable organization to donate to next year.

I'm proud of what your kids did, please tell them I said so. :)

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.

Thankyou for the support Billie. Believe me you guys will be the first to know what happens with my conversation with Rick on Dec 3rd.
Some of the people at my Church are asking me to do things around their house, I've got some windows to install, a new front door, basement remodeling and other misc stuff right now.
That news come at the right time, I was just informed by mail that I can't collect unemployment and home depot is refusing to pay me for my vacation time.
When it rains it pours, I must keep the faith that the Lord has a plan for me and everything will be just they way He wants it, not me.

To God be the Glory ! for the things he hast done.... I Love that song.

Great photos, aqua. I am so glad that you and Spooky got together! Isn't it wonderful to meet Freeper Friends! When President Bush wins in 2004, hoping there will be another Freeper Inaugural Ball. Would be great to meet some of Freepers Finest in person :-)

I am sorry that you all were greeted by a GRUFF man when you and the class brought food to the pantry. Know in your hearts that you all have done something wonderful. My Thank You to all. Have recently been involved in collecting food for 9 needy families. I will never know who the families are, won't be the one to deliver the food. But was happy to be a part of it.

Yep, and thanks.

Thanks Colleen. We just wanted the kids to see something more substantial than a blackhole ending to their feat. Telling them the good they did is one thing. Being a part of the finishing task is more real.

You're in NY, right?

Odd thing today. Amanda and Douglas had 1/2 day of school scheduled for for Wednesday, day before Thanksgiving as usually. Today the principal cancelled school for Wednesday.

No explaination. My initial thoughts are sometype of lock down. Do you know if any NY schools that had school, closed for Wednesday?

Hi Gail. I love that flag graphic! Do you mind if I save it and make a Pledge graphic out of it?

We have re-decorated the P & P room. I think it is much more suited to me.

Come by when you have a chance.
