A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....07-17-06....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 07/16/2006 6:19:20 PM PDT by 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

Morgan, how is your grandpa taking to the idea of moving? I hope it's not too soon for him to make the move. Sometimes a person needs time to grieve alone with their memories for a little while. Moving is the second most stressful thing that a human being does. The first most stressful is the death of a loved one. All of you will be in my prayers. Tell your Grandpa that I keep wanting to call but my days are so filled with duties this week with the evangelist staying at our house, and camp meeting until late at night, I can't catch a time to call him. Tell him not to go anywhere until I can call, and if he does to be sure to get in touch with me and give me his address and phone number.

I was thinking that it has been a week since dear Sistah passed into Heaven, and it already seems like eternity. I miss her so much. I'm glad you are staying busy. That is the best thing for you. God bless the whole family dear Morgan. Hugs.

Auntie Nan

Thank you, Luv.. I found this picture in my son's/grandson's old computer he brought down to me..

I think that version of Amazing Grace is my favorite..It makes me praise God in gratitude and makes me weep,too. I hope I can figure out the music set up on this computer soon so I can listen to music.

You are Lady X's grandchild?

She was an amazing lady and I was honored to know her here. She blessed all of us just as she did everyone in your family.

God bless you...as The Mayor said...please come back often.

We miss her so much!

The Lady Stands

The Lady stands, in dignity,
With quiet inner strength,
In hopes her light of inner fire,
Will reach the World at length.

She looks upon an empty sea,
Where millions once endeavored.
To find a new home filled with hope,
Behind them all was severed.

They still are coming, many do,
Conditions aren’t so dire,
Where once they stared up at her face,
They now are traveling higher.

She marks the spot for wayfarers,
Who stay with us a while,
Then many go back whence they came,
And leave her straining smile.

The things she stood for now seem small,
To travelers over lands,
We know the Truth behind it all,
For us, the Lady stands.
