A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

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....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

I got up early and caught up on the thread.. Your ornaments are just beautiful, Billie!
The roofers will be tearing off shingles on the patio cover today..We were busy moving and organizing for the new windows that will go up in the family room . My time on the computer is limited. We never know just what's next and when the workers will come. Having a good time being with my Navy grandson and all the kitties.

[Billie]

Wow, what a beautiful thread. I'm sorry I couldn't get to it until today, we spent the night up in Scottsdale Wednesday night to pick up my grandmother at Sky Harbor and to hit the Fashion Square mall for some last minute shopping.

Thank you so much, and here's one for you. Have a wonderful holiday!

Merry Christmas, USMCWife!
