A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....06-28-04....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 06/28/2004 4:44:23 AM PDT 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

How are they gonna spin this, I can only wonder.

Bush has been GREATLY criticized and doubts expressed for his continually
insisting that the turnover would happen ON JUNE 30th ! Good trick, brilliant.

Since he's been saying "June 30th", I have heard from reliable sources that the
New York Times headline tomorrow will be:

Bush Lies !

From another thread... A note from Condi to The President and his response...

Kinda like the sound of "Let Freedom Ring" too.

""Let Freedom Ring reign""

Dave - I'm positive that was written by GWB himself on the note, matching the handwriting when he signed his name on my name tag in 2000...(while on my body!)!!

How wonderful for posterity!

The Letter Thief is stealing graphics now??

"Gimme" is all they know. And hey, a big ol' graphic is much more statisfying that a little letter here and there. LOL

See you are anticipating "Something JH2 Might Say!!"

Let's wait and read his 2 Cents on Thursday and see who's copying whom. ;) Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Dave- this is sooo cool! Who would have ever thought anyone outside the cabinet, and maybe Condi's family, would ever see this? Great find. :)

LadyX- You've met President Bush AND gotten him to autograph you? I am so envious!!! :) Very happy for you.

"statisfying"

Hmmm, are you sure that's not pun? Playing on the idea of welfare wards being "statisfied"? Yeah that's it, I coined a new word! Hehehehe. Are you buying it?
