A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....01-19-04....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 01/19/2004 5:51:53 AM PST by The Mayor




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 am no fan of both. Snow can be nice, except when you gotta drive thru it.

I posted this prayer earlier today but I'd like to share it with you again. Please consider it especially for your son. God bless him and God bless your family.

Heavenly Father, thank you for our days of peace and prosperity for we know every blessing comes from You. Thank you for the valiant soldiers who selflessly serve and willingly sacrifice to keep peace and our sacred freedom. Keep them foremost in Your care and never let us forget or take for granted what is being done on our behalf. Please watch over them and bring success to their efforts to end evil and terror in our world. Help them to look to You for guidance because You are their source of strength. Comfort our soldiers' families and give them the determination to overcome the challenges they face with their loved one overseas. Let us weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. Father, may we all look to You to direct our lives and our nation because You are the true wellspring of peace and freedom. Amen.

LOLOL Wish I had cable, but don't - so no caucus party for me. What a great idea though! I am listening to talk radio and they are covering it a bit. Also packing for CPAC, which needs to get done. My flight leaves about 7 in the morning and of course I should be there two hours early so I can stand around and do nothing... ;)

Good evening, we finally got back home. DK decided he wanted to go camping this weekend. Had a good time despite the rain and then the cold.
