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

Howdy, Mayor ... May God bless your little pea-pickin' heart for your daily delivery of the Good News ... I rather think that He looks upon you with favor.

It looks like me and Mama Bear have awakened to the same gloomy skies this morning ... I love the rain, but do worry a bit about a little leak in the roof, so will be glad for a non-precipitating day.

"All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray ... "

Wishing all the Finest a very fine day.

Wishing our President, and the troops he commands, a safe road to victory in their battle with the Beast that is the Muslim Helter Skelter.

[Lakeside]

Hear, hear!

Beautiful, LUV

[Mama_Bear]

I love the rain.

Me too, but I am about to holler 'uncle'. It would at least be nice if things could dry out just a bit before the next storm. Although, living in this state so prone to drought, I know we should NEVER complain about rain whenever it comes.

I take it that you have moved to the mountains and are no longer on the coast? Is your precipitation coming down as rain or snow?

[Lakeside]

"California dreamin'..."

Hope all you Californians are staying high 'n' dry!

[jwfiv]

Yes, Mrs. Bear ... in the hills northeast of SD at 4K feet ... really beautiful.

No snow in this current cycle, as the temp has been hovering in the 40s ... but we had six inches of snow last month ... and, I wouldn't mind another round.

However, I feel as you do ... am ready for a break to dry things out a bit.

But the reservoirs are filling up again, the land is soaking it in, and the Sierras will have a good snow pack again that is way overdue.

It will be a very green spring, and the flowers should be incredible.

Gotta love algore's global warming thingie ... )

California dreamin' on a Monday Monday ... )

And, tomorrow, a moody blue Tuesday afternoon.

Life is good.

[Lakeside]

LOLOL!

Life is very good.

[Aquamarine]

A young boy salutes our Military as a helicopter takes off after delivering supplies to a remote area of Indonesia.

May God bless our Military in all of their efforts around the globe.

[Darksheare]

Amen.

[Mama_Bear]

Yes, Mrs. Bear ... in the hills northeast of SD

My first thought was....South Dakota?!? Then I realized you must mean San Diego. LOL

My BIL used to live in El Cajon, I'm sure that's not as far up into the hills as you are, but that entire area is beautiful country, for sure!

Gotta love algore's global warming thingie ... )

Yep! LOL
