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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

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

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

I received this in my email June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown.
I am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

"God bless them every one for their dedication. I pray for their success of mission!"

Amen, LUV. So sorry it took me this long to get back to you. I share your frustration. The Caravan rallied about 10 miles away from where I work this past Friday, but... it was during my work hours.

They are having good rallies along the way; see post 39 above. Heh, the name of that thread needs to be changed, imo, but kristinn didn't answer my FR-mail in that regard ....:)

[luvie]

I agree with you on the name of the thread! LOL!

I nearly thought I had gone to the DU! :D

[La Enchiladita]

LOL... I tried, but [some] DC FReepers (God bless them!) are known for being impervious to "suggestions." More LOL...!!

[luvie]

Are you suggestiing that they might be a tad stubborn! :D

((((hugs))))

How are you tonight, Dita?

I'm still upset that I am not in a position to meet them. :(

[La Enchiladita]

Uh.... "defiant" is more like it... Hahaha.

My sinuses are screaming off and on as our weather turned VERY hot and dry; brush fires to the south.

Otherwise, enjoying my Sunday very much!! I know....:((

(((hUgS)))

[luvie]

I read about the fires in that area and wondered how close they were to you.

We had rain today! Yay! Maybe it will settle the sand around here so we don't have any more spring sandstorms.

Sorry your sinuses are bugging you. I know it must hurt.

[La Enchiladita]

I'm happy for your rain .... that's a good thing.

[luvie]

Well, it was only about a quarter of an inch, but every little bit helps around here.

Hope they get those fires put out soon! Are they threatening any homes?

[La Enchiladita]

No containment in sight!! The wind is up. We're following on another thread. Two homes burned down, many more threatened. I pray everyone who needs to get out, gets out, including their animals AND that the firefighters stay safe. We lost 5 firefighters in one fire last year...

[luvie]

Prayers for the first responders and for the families who are in the path of this fire-storm.

[The Mayor]

Please join us for Military Monday!

[MEG33]

Amen ..Prayers for the safety of all.

I don't take pictures but I am a great appreciator..
