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 color=000030 face=arial size=2>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!

SMILES

Verse:
Dear -ie, now I know just what makes me love you so,
Just what holds me and en -folds me in its gold -en glow;
Dear -ie, now I see 'tis each smile so bright and free,
For life's sad -ness turns to glad -ness when you smile on me;

Chorus:
There are smiles that make us hap -py,
There are smiles that make us blue;
There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops
As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;
There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing
That the eyes of love a -lone may see,
And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine
Are the smiles that you give to me.

There are smiles that make us hap -py,

There are smiles that make us blue;

There are smiles that steal a -way the tear -drops

As the sun -beams steal a -way the dew;

There are smiles that have a ten -der mean -ing

That the eyes of love a -lone may see,

And the smiles that fill my life with sun -shine

Are the smiles that you give to me.

EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- Rin Tin, a military working dog, waits for the command to enter a tube during training Aug. 18. Military working dogs here provide anti-terrorism and security to the base as well as to deployed locations worldwide. Rin Tin's day usually begins at 4 a.m. with feeding and a seven-point checkup by his handler. Then comes grooming, a rub down, obedience training and a run through the confidence course before beginning the day on patrol. Rin Tin is a 7-year-old 98-pound German shepherd assigned to the 354th Security Forces Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Joshua Strang)

Waiter, there's an orange hair in my soup. And a milkbone.

But.....she's just trying to help! :o) And if you let it soak for a while, that milkbone might just be edible!
