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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; starting today our weekends will begin on Friday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Thank you for such a great graphic for Brian's picture. I know Kat will love it.

[WVNan]

Ewwwww....Kat, look how fat we were! Dolly, do you keep all those old pictures? You will not know Kat now.

[WVNan]

We will let you know when Brian has a (more or less) permanent address. Thank you for your support of the troops.

"Prayer is political action. Prayer is social energy. Prayer is public good. Far more of our nation's life is shaped by prayer than is formed by legislation." Eugene Peterson, Earth and Altar."

So let us rid ourselves of much of said legislation...the time is now!!

FReegards...MUD

[phancypants]

That is terrific, a lot of "my guys" have just come home from their tours over in Iraq (Thank God!) and I have resources to take on more.

I just *adopted* some Marines and a few military hospitals as well, so if anyone is interested in sending letters or cards for the wounded, let me know!

[WVNan]

FOR BRIAN:

THE LIGHT OF GOD SURROUND YOU.
THE LOVE OF GOD ENFOLD YOU.
THE POWER OF GOD PROTECT YOU.
THE PRESENCE OF GOD WATCH OVER YOU.
WHEREVER YOU ARE GOD WILL BE, AND ALL IS WELL.

[Diver Dave]

Mornin' MB and all the FRiends at the Finest.
Beautiful Pledge graphic and KET presentation.
Have a GREAT weekend, y'all.
Rain in the Big Valley this am but looking for sunshine over the weekend.
Praying for KET's son, Brian. Guide and protect him, Lord.

[Mama_Bear]

What a beautiful prayer and graphic for Brian. I hope it will be some comfort for KET knowing that so many here truly appreciate the job Brian is doing and daily pray for our troops.

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you for your supportive posts for KET and her son. You all are the best!

[DollyCali]

so your are both "less of a woman"?? HAR !

I would recognize her wonderful smile anywhere even if it is on less flesh.

Molly might not be with us.. I want to let a few other Ohio gals know..Phancypants, agrace; no more apples are the couple that come to mind. ( or did you contact them? don't want to overdue the hits)

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, yes....I remember now when you all got together.

Don't know when or where, but someday I know I am going to get to hug Nan in person. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Love the military photos you bring to us...especially that first one of the little boy with the flags. I might just make a pledge graphic out of it. :-)

[WVNan]

I hope you will contact as many as you know Dolly. I think Molly put it on the Ohio message board, but many don't ever see that. Thanks.

[WVNan]

And I'm looking forward to that hug. You never know, Kat and I may decide to come to CA. BTW, she can't be here until evening. She takes care of her inlaws during the day (when she's not taking care of me).

[tuliptree76]

Happy Friday Everyone!



Happy Hug A GI Day!

[tuliptree76]

Prayers for Brian's safe return.

[Mama_Bear]

BTW, she can't be here until evening.

That's okay....by then she'll have LOTS of pings. ;-)

[Mudboy Slim]

Good morning, ma'am...MUD
