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

Thank you, Rus! And I haven't thanked you lately for taking such good care of our Military Mondays for us every week, week in, week out. Appreciate you!

Hey, that's going to be a neat deck! Redwood? Will it have rails and benches around it?

What a pretty card, Amy. I had a very nice birthday, thank you. (See, I wouldn't have been able to help you with your graphics on Sunday anyway!)

Wow, Russ! You made a lot of progress on that deck in one day. And it looks like it's going to be a big deck too. I'm sure it will look great when it's finished!

The whole deck is 24 feet wide comes out 16 feet and 12 feet with the 6 X 6 hot tub to one side. 3 sets of stairs, framing is all pressure treated southern yellow pine, composite decking with a handrail system that is vinyl. Virtually maintenence free.

There will be a roof covering the whole thing, 24 X 16

I was wondering why you had such high posts, but now it makes sense with the roof over it. My parents have vinyl handrails on their deck, and they are great. You will have to post pictures when you are finished.
