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.

[Billie]

I have a lot of music up my sleeve ;)

Yeah! Hey! What happened to that music I thought we were going to see today?! You had another pledge and the music the last I saw last night!

[GodBlessUSA]

I was to nervous to use that one. LOL! Next time I'll be braver. :)

Congratulations and thank you for joining the Sistuhs and posting the Finest thread!

[MEG33]

Love this graphic..

[Billie]

THERE it is! I think, next to Celine Dion, or maybe Celine next to her - there is NO ONE who has a vocal range like that! BUT, in the male department, Clay Aiken may be on top, and he's just a new talent that skyrocketed on American Idol last year!

[GodBlessUSA]

I did awful on that quiz. LOL!
I wonder who said, Live long and prosper. I thought for sure that was Spock. :)

[DollyCali]

And we are sure happy she is here!
Welcome GodBless USA
(and Billie is accurate, the worst is past.
The rest will all be sunshine & easy !

Right Dutchess? Right Lori?

[LadyX]

1. That GBUSA did not have to be coaxed for weeks to step up to the plate?!

2. That she despite the cold weather in New York did not snuggle under blankets all day and night, but sacrificed "cozy and restful" for us and the military?!!

3. That she did so wearing red jammies to get in the Right spirit? - -

4. And is doing a positively magnificent,

OUTSTANDING!!
job as our hostess?!!
