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!

~ Billie, Dutchess, Dolly Cali, Mama_Bear ~







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. : )

"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

Thanks for posting the photos of the Afghan elections. It is heartwarming to see these people participating and having a say in their future. God bless our President and our military, who are directly responsible for their freedom today!

It was always smooth -- never crunchy.

LOL. OESY, you never fail to make me laugh. And, you have been in extra Fine form today!

Thanks for the post about General Pace. He seems to be an excellent choice for Chairman of The Joint Chief of Staff. Had I not seen your post, I would have not known about this (haven't heard any news at all today.)

Have a good weekend, Lady. :-)

Especially something I just had in my hands.

Hmmm, I'm having bad thoughts at this point.

Okay, admittedly that didn't sound right.
*chuckle*

But I seriously did just have this pic, and now I have no idea where it is.
*sigh*

Found an image from around teh same time... but it isn't what I'm looking for.
*Grrr!*

I didn't get my calendar for October finished in time to post last night when I posted the thread, so am posting it now.

Don't know how much I will be able to be around this weekend, so I will wish you all a extra Fine one, just in case I am not able to get back in here.



Happy weekend ~ Happy October!!

My pic, which is missing.
The one of me in uniform during the 1812 Overture howitzer blank shoot.
*sigh*

Been looking for it since it is one of the few images worth showing of me in uniform.
And I cannot find it.
*Grrr*

And I just had the darn thing in my hands not too long ago.

Oh, my dear Darks, if you had it not too long ago, chances are you will find it. I'll pray for you to find it.

The scanned copy is no longer on teh machine, which is annoying.
Doubly so since it was the paper copy I'd had in my hands.

So when I looked for it today, and didn't find it, I got somewhat upset.
*sigH*

I will keep looking.

I must head off to bed soon though.
Early day tomorrow.. er.. today.

Thank you for this. I heard parts of it before but to read it all at once is impressive.

And like I said, I have that one.. but it isn't the such a good pic.
I have a better one, but it seems to have vanished on me.
*grrr*

'Tis Louie, I spy!!

No doubt Der Wolfen is anxious for Fall to take hold of his section of the country, able to scamper through piles of scrunchy, colorful leaves and howl at golden moons - - here is a something for you- -

Listen! the wind is rising,
and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings,
now for October eves!

—Humbert Wolfe (1885–1940) "Autumn (Resignation)" (1926)
