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

THE WEEKEND THREAD 02-16-17-18--07 T.G.I.F. at the Finest

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[The Mayor]

That is a great but true pic of what is happening in Iraq due to the irresponsible congress.

[MEG33]

Amen, Kitty. The sun is hitting the water in the bird bath just right so I have a reflection on a tree trunk..I thank God for this bautiful day.

[MEG33]

It is so outrageous and I am so outraged at the Dims and at 17 Republicans, too..I am so concerned over what Dims are plotting to do also..that is binding.

[StarCMC]

I get Silly String at the Dollar store to go in care packages. I originally did it just for fun, but now there's an even better reason! :-D

[The Mayor]

I feels as though he did just disappear.
I feel helpless with the whole situation and that is aggravating too.

[The Mayor]

Thanks for posting that SandRat, what an excellent use for Silly String.

[The Mayor]

Amen Meg and a beautiful pic that is too!

[The Mayor]

Thank you Kitty and you are so right.

[Lady Jag]

Blessings

[The Mayor]

I posted about their antics and called it treason in my blog..
Some one came from abc commented and called me a moron. Figures coming from abc... I deleted the comment.

For the past few weeks I have battling a friend and his blog, he is anti war and I have blasted him for it. So in my blog I have been posting pro military and pro-Troop articles. I will not tolerate anyone denegrating the troops and or their mission.

I even told him to fly an American flag upside down in front of his house if he felt so strongly and is in distress... We haven't talked in a few weeks and at this point I could care less.

[MEG33]

Lovel, Ladyj..Amen

[SandRat]

If this is just a infinitesimal fraction of what POW/MIA families go through; they go through absolute HE**!

[Lady Jag]

Amen.

[MEG33]

See what happens when I am posting about the Congress's treasonous activities!! I must get my outrage under control enough to type,spell..and preview! LOL

[Lady Jag]

I can tell they're just typos. You don't need to apologize.

[MEG33]

I know..I couldn't resist expressing more outrage!

[Texagirl4W]

That picture and prayer are so beautiful. God bless our military who are fighting an evil enemy to keep our nation safe.

[Lady Jag]

Bet I'm not the only one who understands what it feels like to be be frustrated by ignorance, power and greed.

Just the thought of us churns my rant level up a notch.

[Kitty Mittens]

There's a Small Flock of Robins Foraging for Food in the Yard Right Now,
And I'm So Grateful for these Blessings of our King.
The World is Filled with His Beauty and His Grace!

A Male Mallard and his Wife Visited the Pond Again Over the Weekend,
And the Past Few Days have been So Beautiful and Sunny!
Thanksgiving to our Lord of Gracious Love.

[MEG33]

Thank you, Texagirl..Amen
