A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....05-01-06....Military Monday
Billie, 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

Corpus, Christi, Texas (April 27, 2006) - Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Juan M. Rubio, of San Angelo, Texas, was awarded the Silver Star Medal for conspicuous gallantry against the enemy on Jan. 1, 2005, while serving as a Marine platoon corpsman in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).


*Thank You To All Who Serve Our Country*

“When we serve with the Marines and the Marines are with us, it’s a relationship that you can find nowhere else. The acceptance between these two groups is like no other,” emphasized Cullison. “The responsibility that we put on our young corpsmen in battle to perform and to save lives is incredible.”

From that post, isn't that the truth.

Thank you for the link Meg!

Walter Reed Freep supporting troops Friday Night in DC. Below is Kristinn(president of DC chapter); Bert from Tennessee; and Wheelbarrow (age 80, WW2, purple heart recipient), whom I traveled with for the 3 weekend FReeps



Bill (wheelbarrow) and I are here towards the end of rally



Here are a few of the troops who stood with us for awhile. Various young men & women joined us for varying lengths of time & visited & stood with us. We had all four corners of the entrance (2 corners that Code Pink formerly held)



Yes, OF COURSE, the pooches came along. Here is Josy Freeping

The post above was from Friday night at Walter Reed. These are next day at "the President's Hospital" Bethsda Naval Hospial

Some of the LARGE group, including our good friends the Rolling Thunder (primarily Vietnam vets) the next afternoon at Bethesda Naval Hospital was the Rally supporting in DC. Countering the FREAK SHOW Fred Phelps & his Westoro Baptist Church . If you have missed this sick group, they go primarily to funerals of our fallen troops & carry signs that God is happy that their loved one is dead etc.



Hundreds of law enforcement were around. Here are some getting ready. They had our two group separated by about 1000 feet.



Here are a few of the troops who stood with us



Yes, the pooches were here also. Here they are Freeping along the fence (Josy & Toby). These are just a few pix. There will be AAR threads on each of the three events that were Freeped over the weekend & I will be posting the lions share there.



Here is the thread about the FReep on Saturday at Bethesda Naval Hospital

The Phelphs are one sick family...really sick!

Awesome, Dolly! I am so glad you got to go and bring back these wonderful pictures. I am sure that the soldiers were so glad to see pro-troops people there to counter that sick bunch that were there. I wish he (Phelps) would take a long walk off a short pier! He is a traitor!

Good Morning FR Finest.



Our Troops fight for our freedom and keep us safe.

We should thank our Troops every day and show our support for what they do,because they sacrifice everything for us.

Always remember that.......

It is the SOLDIER, not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the SOLDIER, not the courts
who has given us the right to keep and bear arms
It is the SOLDIER, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the SOLDIER, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the SOLDIER, not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the SOLDIER, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the SOLDIER, not the politician,
who has given us the right to vote.
It is the SOLDIER, who salutes the Flag,
and serves under the flag.

So join me in saying........



God bless our Troops and their families!

In agreement with your prayer, Luv, I ask Our Father to be with each of our sons and daughters, acting in His Name.

Just as he sent forth to battle individuals and whole armies, despite the circumstance or odds, those who obeyed His desire to help persons to live freely within His principles were blessed, and sucessful.

May America always act in His Holy Name.
