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

THE WEEKEND THREAD 06-10 thru 06-12... T.G.I.F. at the Finest

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[dutchess]

Hi Rus. Is it official that you are unopposed? Would like to "cyber attend" your fundraiser. Freepmail me with an address okay???? (and, as always, thanks for posting Military Monday and the daily devotional)

[dutchess]

God bless our military men past and present. Here's a particularly touching picture you won't see in the mainstream medie. (((((finest friends))))))

[FreeTheHostages]

[FreeTheHostages]

You'll notice I posted that calendar in response to your lovely dog photos . . . .

God bless 'ya

Love,

Nancy

[GailA]

I whole heartedly second that thought.

[Billie]

Unfortunately I will probably not be posting much anymore. My Brother was going to re-up, but they found something wrong with his lungs (He was in Storm and Should) They are not sure what it is, so many tests need to be done. I am now taking care of his German Shepard, my mud ponies,My five kids and mending broken ribs. Could you Please ping the others, and let them know that truly found a home here, and am grateful for everyone who so readily excepted me. I want to Thank-You all for Your kindness, and will keep all of You And Yours in Our Prayers.

fivekid, please try to stop in when you can; you will be in our prayers as well.... that your load will soon be lightened, your ribs mended, and the spot on your brother's lungs is nothing serious.

[Aquamarine]

Hugs for Chachi Bear! See that he's giving you a little love nibble there. :)

[Aquamarine]

Prayers for your grandson's father. You must be very proud of him.

[luvie]

We will miss you--you need to take care of you and yours first then come back! We'll see ya when we see ya!

[Mama_Bear]

Awwww... He's so cute!

Thanks. He is sweet tempered too. They say that Pomchi's have the best traits of both breeds. Not as nervous and as high-strung as a Chihuahua, but smaller than a Pom with less grooming needs.

[Mama_Bear]

You'll notice I posted that calendar in response to your lovely dog photos . . . .

I did notice!

God bless 'ya

And you, FReezie. It's aways a good day when you can stop by here. :-)

[deadhead]

God Bless Our Military

[deadhead]

Aw, Chachi Bear is absolutely adorable!!!! I am so happy for you Lori.

[deadhead]

"A reminder that tomorrow is Flag Day and thought it would be fun if everyone who flies a flag could take a picture"

Hi Billie! Picture taken, will post tomorrow :-)

[The Mayor]

You've got mail.

Unopposed as with another Republican.
Now is the time to focus on the dem opponent.
She is backed by the political party machine..

[deadhead]

Prayers for Kyle's Dad. Bless him and my heartfelt thank you to him.

[JustAmy]

Prayers being offered for peace and comfort for Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Crowe's family.

Thank you for your service, Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Crowe.

[luvie]

That is an adorable puppy--is he going to have long hair like a Pom, do you think? It's hard to tell at his age. Also that is a beautiful poem/tribute to our awesome troops!

[deadhead]

"We fly our flag every day. It really is a grand ole flag."

Hi Temple Owl! Like you and Mrs. Temple Owl, I fly my flag every day. My dream is to have a flag pole with a light shining on it...one of these days :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Hugs for Chachi Bear! See that he's giving you a little love nibble there. :)

Yep, he is "nibbling" on EVERYTHING! LOL!
