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.

HUGS, Meg!

[Majie Purple]

That song...Those voices in song...THAT MESSAGE never fade in beauty!

[LadyX]

Oh, Meg, you could not have posted a more pleasing verse, and graphic than this one, with the Rockies/wildflower backdrop!

If you remember my story about this verse coming *alive* for me in South Dakota, it happened while I drove along, reciting that favorite scripture.
I did so every time I drove out to the AF base on the plains, able to clearly see in the far distance the "Black Hills" - "hills" a definitely misleading name!

Consider these facts:

"The Black Hills are ancient, some of the oldest mountains in North America. While they don't claim the same attention as younger, taller mountain ranges, they're recognized, like wise and aged matriarchs, for their quiet splendor."

"The Hills are home to the nation's first national forest and to one of our country's most prominent and defining symbols, Mount Rushmore National Memorial (see the Attractions chapter in our full print book). Yet even among those who easily recognize Mount Rushmore, many don't know that the famous mountain carving is in the Black Hills, in South Dakota."

Mt. Rushmore itself is 5,700'high.
Living in Rapid City, I had to use high altitude recipes for baking,
since it was 3,200 feet above sea level.

Driving out of town on days off to explore,
it was only minutes before you were at 5,000-6,000' elevations!

[LadyX]

This is kind of interesting......

On Wednesday of next week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be:

01:02:03 04/05/06

That won't ever happen again until the next century[3006].

You may now return to your (normal ?) life.
