A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

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....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!
~ Billie, Mama_Bear, dutchess, Aquamarine ~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

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

That is such a beautiful and touching graphic of the baby with the praying hands!

Thank you for "Themeless Tuesday" and that cute graphic. I can't decide if I am going to try to find an equally funny welcome graphic for next Tuesday or if it would be easier just to do another state. LOL.

Hello all! I'm late, but I'm here.......but I can't stay. :-(

Just wanted to wish you all a pleasant evening and thank Billie again for our thread today.

Hi wolfie! A big ol' squeezy hug for you!

040419-N-6027E-003 North Polar Region (Apr. 19, 2004) - The Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Hampton (SSN 767) surfaced at the North Pole. Hampton and the Royal Navy Trafalgar class attack submarine HMS Tireless took part in ICEX 04, a joint operational exercise beneath the polar ice cap. Both the Tireless and Hampton crews met on the ice, including scientists traveling aboard both submarines to collect data and perform experiments. The Ice Exercise demonstrates the U.S. and British Submarine Force's ability to freely navigate in all international waters, including the Arctic. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Journalist Kevin Elliott.

Great photos bump. Picture 1 = Reason # 1657b the US is the true protectors of the free world. Hunter/Killer subs of the LA class. Engineering marvels. And the unseen warriors that volunteer to man them are so deserving of praise. Thanks for reminding us of more guardians many take for granted.

Those photos do my heart good! GO NAVY!

To those who were praying for #1 son's safe return from sea--he's back,safe and sound in the arms of his wife and little daughter. #2 son,stationed in Guam ,will be in the states later on this month. We're planning a family get together then. We've not all been together for over a year.
