A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....05-01-06....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

Thanks so much for the pictures, the report and the links.

Thanks for volunteering your time and effort to make the trip to D.C. to support the troops.

Thanks for standing tall against Code Pink and the people who hate our country.

I'm doing well too. I just finished painting a bathroom. I'm on my way to Homedepot when son gets home for more fix up items. I usually never get things done Mondays. This is good.;)

I hope to catch you later sometime. :)

BRAVO to you and all who stood tall for our troops!

These pictures are wonderful!

The Phelps people are misguided, cruel and insensitive to grieving families of our nation's Heroes!

God Bless Our Brave Troop and their Families!

Mornin' to FR's Finest on Military Monday.

Great pics and report, Dolly.

And a Salute to you, Wheelbarrow. Does my heart good to see you joining the troops at Walter Reed. Thank you for your service and sacrifices for this great nation from a fellow vet of a later era.

Great pictures and report ,Dolly! I am very familiar with the sick freaks ,the Phelps, as I follow the Walter Reed Freep threads and the activities of the Patriot Guards..
I am so thrilled you were there to help combat the rotten activities and to honor our troops! Hugs!
God Bless Our Troops
