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

Summer Pulse is the simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike groups to demonstrate the Navy's ability to provide combat power across the world under its new Fleet Readiness Plan.

Mass those babies up around Iran. Hey Mullah, you got 24 hours to release the Brits and their boats!

[MeekOneGOP]

Hey ! Somebody want to take this BABY off my hands !?

Hehe ! Turn your speakers up, click on the link and then move your mouse around.

Play "sling the baby!" haha !

[LadyX]

Happy First Day of Summer!

~ First Day of Summer 2003 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada ~

[Pippin]

Please keep a coworker of mine in prayer.

His wife, who is expecting a baby any day now was admitted to the hospital and they say the doctors may have to induce labor.

my coworker is Craig. so keep Craig and his wife and thier baby (first child) in your prayers.

[jwfiv]

Howdy, Mayor ... thanks for our Military Monday thread.

I agree about that chow line ...I've never been in one that looked that good either ... ouch.

LadyX ... beautiful pix of the soldier's reunion with his babies ... and, that first day of summer ... )

God blesses America, land that I love ... our trrops are the FINEST.

[StarFan]

Prayers go primarily to Craig's wife who will go through a REAL test of endurance if labor is induced. Not fun! Morning Mayor.

[jwfiv]

oops ... meant to say "troops".

I think I need more coffee.

[MeekOneGOP]

Prayers for your coworker friend's wife and her baby, Pippin.

[Pippin]

Thanks, Starfan! :O)

[Pippin]

Thanks Meekie,

I guess some day you'll be hearing your wife say honey, start building that nursary ;0)

[Pippin]

It's that darn letter thief. LOL!

Hi, Jw!

[MeekOneGOP]

hehehe ! I don't think so .....

[Pippin]

Aw!

You dont want to be a daddy?

You could be raising up patriots. :0)

[LadyX]

"trrops"
"oops ... meant to say "troops".
I think I need more coffee."

Ah, jw - - it is far, far easier to blame those garbled letters
on our Notorious Letter Thief.

As you can see, he merely gave you one of my 'r's he had stolen, and took one of your 'o's !!!

What we have is a Wordsmith Desperado, Johnny Mac - -

[Texagirl4W]

Beautiful picture. Looks like what we had in Dallas Saturday afternoon.

[Darksheare]

Lol!
So he's doing slight editing huh?
Sorry I haven't been in forum in two days.
Was slightly busy.

[Texagirl4W]

Prayers being offered for Craig and his wife. May the Lord guide the hands of the doctors and nurses for a safe delivery of their first child.

[LadyX]

Adding my prayers for this situation, Pippin.
May God be with them.

[LadyX]

"So he's doing slight editing huh?"

Do believe he is is becoming highly creative; perhaps due to our being a good influence upon him??

What say you - could it be The Letter Thief is actually worthy enough to register and cavort openly??

Nah - -

[Pippin]

Thanks, LadyX!
