A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....07-29 thru 07-31-05....T.G.I.F. at the Finest

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.

Good morning! I'm glad to see all our friends are wearing red this Friday (a.k.a. Rain Day? Well, not here anyway, despite the pix.):

I sure wish it would rain here. I'd be singing in the rain!

My last post for now, and I absolutely have got to get out of here!

Hi, OESY! That second photo is outstanding!!!!!

[OESY]

Hopefully, you're having a better Friday than this guy has Mondays,
though he somehow still manages to plow ahead.

Well, Billie - -while I usually raid Mama_Bear and jkphoto's Family Album, OESY has inspired me to flip through a polar bear one.
Would you believe I found some of Our Finest Folks in it?!!

=====================================

The first one I saw was Gabz, and I asked
how her ankle was doing...

"Yes, it still hurts, but I'm bearing it all right."

Next was The Mayor making strides toward
a successful election campaign...

Found Diver Dave preparing to go below to fix a propeller...

Here we have jwfiv as he determindly sallies forth
to get another great picture for us,
and comes through with this shot - -

Found ST.LOUIE1 about to get a rude awakening!!

Last, but not least, we have Colonial Warrior
and his lovely wife Hushpuppie
taking a spin on the dance floor...

=====================================

Heading out to look for more, Miss Billie...

Maggie Malone for LadyX
