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

Good Morning Y'all

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, Russ!

God bless our military. May they have 4 more years with G.W. as their C-I-C!

Neat graphics. : )

[Aquamarine]

Tomorrow is the big day! Support our Military.

Vote Bush!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Who'll be watchin' polling booths
for dim-rat trickery?

WE WILL!! (Gopher Babes For Bush)

[Texagirl4W]

Thought for the day!

Poor John Kerry: He throws away someone else's medals.

He drives someone else's SUV.

He marries someone else's wife.

And he inherits someone else's money.

I think we should all vote for him to be president of someone else's Country.

God Bless President Bush.

[The Mayor]

Top of the mornin to ya Mo1

[The Mayor]

Hi Ya Louie!

[The Mayor]

Mornin Aqua!

[The Mayor]

I agree with that 100%!!
France?

[Aquamarine]

I think we should all vote for him to be president of someone else's Country.

[phancypants]

I received an e-mail from a soldier in Tikrit yesterday, imploring me to vote Bush.
I reassured him that we were doing all we can to get out the vote and win!

[phancypants]

I wore that T-shirt to the rally on Friday.
It didn't have his picture on it though, and I almost got a beat-down a few times from people who didn't read the whole thing!

[Aquamarine]

LOL! I watched the Rally you attended on C-Span. That was the most pumped up crowd I have ever seen!

[The Mayor]

Update from GailA
This came late last night, My Prayers go out to Gail..


Thank you
All the prayers from my friends here at FR mean a lot to me.
Our Lord never gives us more than we can bare...even though we don't under stand His need to call our Loved Ones home.

He called a good musician home to sweeten the air of heaven with song.



Amen Gail....

[Mama_Bear]

ROTFL! Soooooooo cute, like you!

Good morning, wolfie. I am taking your word for it, this election will be a Bush landslide. :-)

[phancypants]

I thought the roof would blow off!
It was a great rally!!

[Mama_Bear]

Gail, this is the first chance I've had to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. This was such sad news to come home to.

You know you have many friends here holding you close in thought and praying that God will provide you with whatever you need to get through this difficult time.

[Mama_Bear]

Thought for the day!.........I think we should all vote for him to be president of someone else's Country."

LOL! I'll second THAT!!

I received this in my e-mail this weekend. Thought you all might enjoy it.....

 This is a Letter to the Editor written by the President of Solano County, California Republican Women, Judy Ewing. She has a great way with words!

 Subject: Letter to the editor...

 

  I feel a temper tantrum coming on! You know - one of those old fashioned "throw yourself on the ground, kicking and screaming until your grandmother throws cold water on you" fits. Those days when you didn't care about "going along to get along". Well, after 60 years, I've come full circle!

  What in the world is going on in this country? Has the old American frontier spirit been bred out of us? What happened to our ebullient, can do, give 'em hell attitude? Has our becoming cleaned up, civilized and increasingly sissified in order to grace the global drawing rooms and salons of Europe sapped our strength as well as our senses? If I wanted a French looking, French speaking Francophile for a president, I would have moved to France a long time ago! And I don't want a wealthy heiress from Mozambique with a penchant for gin soaked raisins for a first lady either. I am also not interested in having my grandsons donning a beret and saying"Hi, I'm from the United Nations and I'm here to help you."And while on that subject, I'm equally sure that I don't want a Commander in Chief that only 18% of the military is planning to vote for. No wonder Kerry is talking about a draft.

   Another thing - I don't want a vice president that is prettier than I am and who spends an inordinate amount of time fingercombing his hair in front of a woman's compact mirror. What's next - Barbies?Nor do I want an effete, Botoxed, orange-tanned 1200 dollar haircut in the West Wing. I do not under any circumstances want "girlie men" in the White House - I want gunslingers! I don't want anyone whose ideal weapon is a fencing sword - I want someone who can operate a chainsaw!

   And I sure don't want someone who can't even carry his own dead goose out of the woods, like some kind of lord of the manor, or country squire. Noblesse oblige...

    Waaaaa! I want an old time cowboy. Someone who rides the perimeter, mends fences when he can, and clears out the dead brush and the varmints. Someone strong, resourceful, straight talking and resolute. I want cowboy boots echoing down the halls of American history, not tasseled loafers. I want a president reflective of the majority of Americans, those in "flyover country", in Middle America - somewhere in between Michael Moore and the Hollywood lefties, and the liberal North East elitists that know it all.

     I want...oops, here comes my husband with the hose - just like old times! I'm feeling better all ready! Hmm, maybe I ought to lock myself in the bathroom for a while...See you at the polls!

---

God Bless America and our Troops!

[Mama_Bear]

What a sweet photo of Barney. Thanks for making me smile. :-) I just love that dog! He is such a character.

[The Mayor]

I've gotta go do some work, I have people waiting for me..

See ya's all tonight.
