A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....09-25-06....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 09/24/2006 6:44:48 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

Yes, Rus, he is home safe and sound. I haven't met him yet, but his step-mom is about the closest thing I could possibly come to in having a little sister who is also a real close friend.

I don't know if she will register to post here, but I have sent her the link to this thread.

"Pebbles"







Eyes like shiny pebbles on the beach
Curious about all I see and is within my reach
Able to climb the Upstairs steps, though one at a time
I'll be able to climb them faster when I'm in my prime!

Though for now I'll focus on closer, smaller Conquests
Like climbing to the top of the Curtains, a most trying test
I make it up just a little bit higher each time I climb!

Yet, My Humans haven't discovered any evidence of the crime
They'd rather have me climbing up the slick, plump Comforter of their bed
And have me close my eyes up close beside My Pretty One's head

It's odd that they haven't figured out that Night Time is when Kittens play
It's fun to poke around and explore, then nap while they're away
I'm just an energetic and curious Kitten, hardly a Rebel
Which might just be the reason My Humans call me "Pebbles"

That is so sweet. Every time I read one of your poems I want to go get a cat. I miss having one around the house.

What an adorable kitten..Thank you Jack for another sweet poem...

It brought back memories of the sound of drapes tearing on a glass window wall of drapes..Sassy the First had done the deed..I just left them pullled back and never mentioned the need for new drapes..LOL It worked out great as the glass was tinted and the tree outside provided shade in the early morning.
