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; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. 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. : )

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

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

I received this in my email June 10th, the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

Thank you for giving me a foolproof way to dress up a post, Billie...May all your days be wonderful.

Thanks, Meg. I'm just thrilled to see a few of you using them again and again. Let me know if you want to change up the colors or patterns sometime. :)

Afternoon Billie.
364 more days and we get to forget your birthday again. :)

[Billie]

But Sistah Nan - Billie asked me (and lotsa others) specifically *NOT* to wish her a happy birthday...

I thought I took care of the absolute necessary ones! :)

[Billie]

Appreciate all that you do!! Always taking care of soldiers and their family members...honoring our troops both past and present...celebrating the memories of warriors lost...and doing you part in keeping the morale of others high!!

Hooah!!

What a nice post to read! Thank you, Col Warrior! Really liked your graphic, too.

Birthday...what birthday?

Looks like the cake was chocolate. :) Wish you'd saved me a piece.

[Billie]

Thank you for the pretty yellow roses and the wishes, Miss Kitty. :)

Hi Billie, you're welcome. Hope your birthday was wonderful! I am practicing making backgrounds....a Happy Birthday to you from President Bush and Laura :-)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Birthday...what birthday?

What ARE you talking about? :)

[WVNan]

I thought I took care of the absolute necessary ones! :)

Ha! Trying to keep the secret won't work Miss Billie. I have your B'day well marked on my calendar. You won't get away with trying to sneak it by us. I am a committed B'day wisher.

[WVNan]

Speaking of birthdays......when is yours little little Sistah?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Join us here for Military Monday..

Hi ladies.. hope your evening is going well . Just got in & reporting it was a HOT & dry day here in Ohio. Will be so all week. The walk with oliver after church was very tiring. It was so nice to get to the stream.. I sat in it & soaked my arms, face, hair...helped quite a bit. Without even trying found 46 golf balls.. I walk him behind the church. Lots of woods abutting a golf course. Same path as last week, when I found about 34 balls.. Up & down ravines (about 100 foot or so) and rough terrain with briers & poison ivy. I came home, ate & had a short nap before going out again

We have VBS next week & I requested NOT to teach(I don't do as well with the little ones as I do teaching adults) & am doing things that I am not committed each day/full time. I am doing photography, some mission projects & a little "playground/pe" stuff.
