A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-05-05....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 12/04/2005 6:33:23 PM PST by The Mayor




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

Music - CDs

"Bush Was Right" CD Single

Preview the song -- Video -- mp3 download
"Freedom in Afghanistan, say goodbye Taliban
Free elections in Iraq, Saddam Hussein locked up
Osama's staying underground, Al Qaida now is finding out
America won't turn and run once the fighting has begun
Libya turns over nukes, Lebanese want freedom, too
Syria is forced to leave, don't you know that all this means
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Bush was right!
Ted Kennedy - wrong!
Cindy Sheehan - wrong!
France - WRONG!
Zell Miller - right..."

LOL!
Thanks, Mayor!
That "Bush was RIGHT!" video/CD is just in time for CHRISTMAS!
The PERFECT "stocking stuffer" for all of our CONSERVATIVE friends!
And, it is a WONDERFUL answer to the moronic "Bush Lied!" battle cry of the loony left. :o)

Thanks for the graduation report. I smiled as I read your post knowing how rightfully proud you are of your son and his fellow infantrymen. The men and women in our armed forces are our best examples of America's strength and determination to defend liberty and I thank God for them.

"Bush Was Right" is such a good song, can't listen to it without giggling.
Found this on The Right Brothers website - "Truth Disguised as Music"

Received a card from our recently deployed nephew, written prior to his departure. I sent him one of the challenge coins that were passed out to Vets at our church. Thought I'd share some of his words of gratitude. His words to me apply equally to all here at FR. Thank You one and all for your continuing support.

"...Thank you for the coin... I'm keeping it in my coin holder next to MGen xxxxxxx's coin. I appreciate your thoughts, prayers and patriotism and only wish there were more like you..."

Praying for God's Blessings and Protection for our Armed Forces.

Thanks for sharing your nephew's words of gratitude with us here. There are plenty of patriotic people out there but the media just goes over our heads and doesn't present the truth. Tell him that lots of people in the South are supporting his efforts, lots of them.
