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!

What you see is not always what you see. Wait and see, and you will see what I see.

You may think the picture below is just a snowy bunch of black and white specks, but come closer.... closer.... closer.... come closer, until you're about six to ten inches from your monitor. Are you there? Now you may need to sorta cross your eyes and stare in the middle of the picture for just a bit. Now back up...you should see an object jump forward, leaving the background far behind. Do you see what I see? (Dolly, you will like this one.) :)

Here's one in color, and it's a nice picture by itself - even more fun when you see what you'll see when you do what you did before. :)

Just one more, because I don't want your eyes to hurt like mine did when I was searching for stereograms.

A cup of tea, anyone?


Have fun! Tell me what you saw in the pictures!

[Billie]

Hi, PaL - thanks for checking in - hope you get a chance to get back. Darn work anyway! :)

[Billie]

I try to get here but when I have off from work I have difficulty in getting online as I have noi internet access for a while.

I know. Knew you would be off Friday for Veterans Day, and the weekend at home without the access. :(

[Billie]

If you're doing a Thanksgiving themed *thoughts*, we need to do THAT one Tuesday! Get it to me as soon as you can, okay?

Good Morning, Billie.
Jeff Head & I need your help.......Please ping your lists to this post.

Did you know that the proposed design for the Flight 93 National Memorial contains a 'Crescent of Embrace' of red maples surrounding the crash site of the plane in which the 40 heroic passengers fought the terrorists on 9-11-01?

When the design was announced on 9-07-05, an uproar was created over the use of 'the crescent', an Islamic symbol. As a result, the designer made vague comments about changing the name of the design but not its intent. Since that time, nothing has happened and it looks like they are proceeding because the name and description of the 'Crescent of Embrace' are still on their official website here:

http://www.flight93memorialproject.org/crescent_of_embrace.asp


Therefore a Petition has been created to give Americans an opportunity to voice their opposition to the 'Crescent of Embrace' which is the equivalent of using a swastika shape in a memorial for Holocaust victims.

Here's where you go here to sign:

http://new.petitiononline.com/NOCRSCNT/petition.html

This must not occur...the very idea of each fall, around September 11th, during the fall of the year, for a red crescent to appear in the Pennsylvania countryside surrounding the Flight 93 crash site is an abomination and a very powerful (and for free people of the world, a very negative) symbolic representation that will encourage and embolden our enemies and shame us all.

Please sign this Petition to the US Park Service and the US Congress:

Oppose the "Crescent of Embrace " Proposal for the Flight 93 Memorial

After you sign, please email all your email lists to go here to sign:

http://new.petitiononline.com/NOCRSCNT/petition.html


We need your help so that more Americans will be aware of the proposed design and have the opportunity to sign the Petition. Thank you for helping to spread the word.


Please 'copy & paste' this information and send to your email lists......asking them to do the same & pass it on. If everyone spreads the word; we will have the thousands of signatures we need to convince the National Park Service to change the proposed design.

I think I see the 2nd one. I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't make out 1st/3rd.

Take a break and rest your eyes for a bit. Honestly, once you *see* the 3D effect, it will come naturally the next time you try it. :)

I'm glad no one is home. They would walk in and see my face at computer screen. I think they would start to worry about the amount of my time on computer. LOL!

We'll never tell! :)

I had signed it before Julie.. is this the same petition? I think it is sad that this ALMOST slipped by. The last I heard the park service was on top of it & would NOT permit the obvious symbolism..

[GodBlessUSA]

Signed ;)
Excellent you pinged everyone. :)

[DollyCali]

I think this is a differnt petition than the one I signed. I note this was started by Jeff Head & about a week ago. The last one was maybe a month ago & don't think it was a FReeper in origin.

Will go back & sign. No doutb will not let me sign if I had before & My take on time is off.

thanks for spreading the work & to Billie for pinging the list w/this

[Billie]

Thanks for the Bumpy Ping! :)

[Pippin]

Okay! :o)
