A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-19-05....Military Monday

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

Marine Corps History

4 December 1950: LtCol Raymond G. Davis led his battalion into Hagaru-Ri, Korea after four days of intense fighting in the mountain passes against a numerically superior hostile force. His battalion, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, helped clear the way for the 5th and 7th Marines, and LtCol Davis was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism.

I posted the America Attacked one twice yesterday as some in the media seem to have forgotten we are at war and that we were attacked right here on US soil.

The political posturing by some of our elected representatives would lead me to believe they think we have forgotten.

Afternoon! Wasn't President Bush great this morning in his Press Conference! Afterwards, I heard one of the commentators call his tone "defiant". He needs to be - they are such jerks, and think he should tell them about every move he plans to make in this war on terror and *when* he plans to do it. And *how* he plans to do it. DUH!

Hi all.. My good buddy Murphy remains busy at the DollyCali household. All I will say for now.. Thanks rus for military Monday. So proud of our troops and so disgusted with their detractors.

If I can stay awake, hope to watch stream on Presser on CSpan at 8. I go to bed early because of fatigue, but don't sleep particularly well & am up at 3 or so ...

Very cold here. wind chill now below zero.. snow flurries, but fortunately no accumulation. Need to go out & make some warmer beds for the outdoor kitties, I keep the garage door open enough for them to get in but some just huddle in piles in boxes on front porch. Try to lure them in but they are frightened. I always free sorry for the outdoor animals this time of year. so hard on them.

The Pres has to keep talking like that, everyday if he has to.
The more he talks, the better he looks.

I was informed privately that Paul Harvey may not have written that article. Am still in agreement with whoever wrote it.

Even if he didn't write it, he read it on air, I wish more people had the guts to do so.

He is a class act.
