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.

I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

Yes, it is fun. I always loved playing with my barbie dolls, and when I am with my niece's, I still feel like a kid when they take out their dolls and we play with them.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Evening all! Happy TGIF, everybody.

[LadyX]

The amazing part is you do eventually adapt to the extreme conditions and darkness.
Not that I had a choice to "take it or leave it"..:)

"When you're young and strong, you can do anything!"
is The Rule that applied...

[JustAmy]

Do you think they would be interested in joining our Support the Troops Rally next Friday night?

If so, I will send you my email address.

[Alberta's Child]

Cool -- that's a great dress, Victoria. ;-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, thanks AC.

[TPartyType]

Hey, hey! Look who posted a picture! Good job, kiddo!

(Now we're in for it . . .)

[Billie]

I'm late getting back to see everyone, and my, my, you look beautiful!

[Billie]

Fun thread again today.

The little girl in all of us big girls - gotta be that. Playing with Barbies again!

[Billie]

Good evening, Purple Mtn - I'm sorry to be getting back so late to say hello - will be saying goodnight in a few minutes. Glad you were able to post the doll - will get you an evening gown before next Friday. :)

[Billie]

Kitty! Hello! Thanks for the hugs - hope your weekend is great! (Don't you need a cute little dollie all dressed in red?)

[Billie]

Yes, we paint our rooms red on Friday - it's no trouble - the least we can do to show our support for our mighty military. :)

FINAL MISSION — An EA-6B Prowler aircrew, assigned to the Banshees of Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 1, prepares for the squadron's final flight mission at Al Asad, Iraq, Jan. 21, 2006.

The Banshees, based at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., are preparing to return home after six months of duty in support of Operation Iraq Freedom.

Welcome home, Banshees! (When do they arrive, or have they already, since their final flight mission was last weekend?)

[Billie]

Your dressmaker asked me to tell you that you're welcome. Enjoyed lunch and shopping today. :)

[Billie]

Well, now, that's more like it. Today was, after all, "glamour day" in red. :)

[Billie]

Dolly's getting a new puppy, dolly's getting a new puppy. :)

[Billie]

Your little red dress is tres chic! Love the long pearls. :)

[Billie]

Oh thanks for the invite Billie!! I do not have a red dress. I will have to get one for next time.

Good! Hope to see you here in red next Friday! We'll all do lunch!

[Billie]

Hi, Luv - happy to see your Proud Military Mom logo. :)

[Billie]

I'm glad you made it today, snugs. I really do like both flags on the topper. We should change ours - we're in this together.
