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

God Bless America

[DollyCali]

Mozart Lover's son is home for a few days before going to the Sand Box. One of the Mondays in future I will have a special honor post for her son (when she gets me the "stuff")

Prayers for them all now as they enjoy their time together before the departure

Never Forget!

[DollyCali]

JT's (my son) first drill is this weekend. He told me last week that he fully expects to be deployed. He has nothing to go on just impressions.

[DollyCali]

I guess anyone in reserves NOW knows they will be activated & go somewhere...the guessing game of the "where" is the big question.

[DollyCali]

[DollyCali]

Beautiful Pledge of Allegiance, Your Honor, and lovely portion of Our Daily Bread to savor.

"Let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work" (2 Corinthians 9:7-8)."

Life is definitely easier when we learn to do things "His Way!"
Yes, in all things, his grace is sufficient for any of our needs...

Asking God to bless all of our military and their loved ones, today and every day,

~ LadyX

[Billie]

Good morning! Thank you to the Finest Military in the world. God bless our warriors and our leaders and keep them strong.

SCOTUS - Alito - Let the games begin. Here we go FReepers.

Ame, proud2be! Good grief! The numbers of posts on that thread linked above is out of sight for just a few hours!

I love it! Of course the dims would howl, no matter who the President nominated. That's what they do. They are so jealous these vacancies happened during a Republican watch they cannot stand it.

[Mama_Bear]

[jwfiv]

Good day, honorable sir ... Thanks always for your Monday morning thread.

May God bless our men and women who serve this great nation ... May He favor and protect them and their Commander-In-Chief.

And, it being Halloween, I wanna personally throw a hex on Dingy Harry Reid and his partners in crime: Senators Turban, Schumer and Ensign Kennedy.

Oh, heck ... a pox on the whole gang of venal Dims who disgrace the Senate ... ooops, waitaminnit, I think our President already done did that this morning with his nomination of Judge Alito ... )

[jwfiv]

An exceedingly cool Halloween greeting, Mrs. Bear ... thank you!

[GodBlessUSA]

Wow That's fantastic, Mama_Bear
