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

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[Diver Dave]

Here's a little something that's attached to another niece's emails - an Army wife.

Figured y'all could make it look even nicer inserted onto a table.

[Billie]

Darn! My name was first LOL - I should be able to *claim* that, but have to be gone for a few hours.

I love that graphic, Dave! Meg, you are probably here right now - go for it!

HUGS!

[luvie]

Hee-hee...I don't know about Meg...but I have already snagged it!

Thanks a bunch, Dave. It will come in handy, I'm sure.

[Majie Purple]

Thanks D.Dave for the go Navy ping! When I clicked on it it said "Sorry I've exceeded my bandwith today!" with a sad face...Glad tis so popular there...will try link later and post to you about it again when I actuall can view it. Thanks again for the ping! Can't wait to see!Both my Parents served in the Navy!

[Majie Purple]

[WVNan]

Thank you Billie. It's been a very very busy weekend. Sat., party for K.E.T.'s son Brian, home from Iraq. Sun. dinner for retirement of church treasurer at church. Today to Columbus for BOTOX shots. Whew. Thanks for the gif. Can't be me though. Too skinny. LOL

[The Mayor]

You can count on me posting Military Monday as long as I have a computer near by..

Thanks Billie, I do like the crown.. : )

[The Mayor]

Thank you! I am sure the troops enjoy Hugs.. : )

[Majie Purple]

Hugs back to ya!:)

[The Mayor]

I was thinking the same thing when I read it.
My brother fell off a roof and broke his foot in 4 places.
My sister had surgery and some complications but will hopefully go home tomorrow.

I need to send it to both of them.

[The Mayor]

I know who has my back.

God Bless all of them!

[GailA]

Good evening everyone, I'm home with no major detours due to getting lost. A little worse for wear but will recover. I lost a crown which was reglued back in place today while I was up there (eating a jelly bean) and broke my little toe when I stubbed it (should remember to wear shoes in houses where little ones leave toys on the floor). But I had a great time with my 4 year old grandson, he is a delight and well behaved (for me not his dad).

I took him out to eat at Bob Evans and he did good even there. We went shopping and I got conned (which wasn't hard to do) out of a toy truck.

[The Mayor]

That's what Grand mothers are for.. Spoil them and send them home.. : )

I hope your toe gets better soon..

[Diver Dave]

A GREAT presentation. Thank you.
Now, where did I put those Kleenex?

[Majie Purple]

"...Now, where did I put those Kleenex?"

I used up the final few cryin' over that too & then tossed the empty box.

[Majie Purple]

Found a new box!

[La Enchiladita]

Thanks for the insights on movies, Dolly.

I don't know why I said 'traditionalist.' I guess because there are a lot of movies I don't like! LOL!

I'll keep my eye out for something good and we'll trade notes.

'Night.

[MEG33]

You all do the "magic" with those! Sorry i missed the rest of the thread.

Diver..bandwidth was exceeded for the email..I'll check back..

[MEG33]

Glad you had a nice trip!

[MEG33]

Wonderful..Thank you for posting this..Love the presentation,too.
