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

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. : )

"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

Received an e-mail this am from #3 daughter relative to a story from Murfreesboro, Tennessee's The Daily News Journal (dnj.com).

Portrait of courage: Photo touches hearts around the world

Here's a copyright photo from the article. Kleenex Alert!

My e-mail was titled, "A picture worth a thousand words." One blog suggests, "No, it's worth at least a million".

"Heather Southward Golczynski pulled out of her mailbox Tuesday six more letters, sent from across the nation by people touched by her husband's sacrifice and her son's courage."

...for the honor of the One who made us to worship and enjoy Him forever.

Amen, may we love Him more and more every day in all we do and say and think, in all our prayer and praise and service, in humble heart and eager hands and eyes turned ever toward His Lovely Face shining, amen!

[Mama_Bear]

Awwwww.........so CUTE! You made me smile, MEG. Thank you. :-)

We DO love our troops!!

Hello Darling Dolly!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for the ping, Dave. I will read this when I get back home. Heading up to FResno for the first FRiday of the month rally.

I didn't need a Kleenex Alert on this one. Just looking at that photo made me start to cry. :-(

[.30Carbine]

Amen, Mama Bear, to Meg! And Dave...just wowza, Buddy. Thanks.

[Mama_Bear]

I am trying to remember what those earrings looked like, Dolly. Do you remember?

Gotta run or we are going to be late for the rally.

TTYL!

In March, 2005, this song was performed at a Diamond Rio concert. They received an immediate standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it! Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered politically incorrect. Consequently, the song was never released to the public. If this song speaks to your heart, share it with friends and loved ones. Then let us cease being the silent majority and join together -- not as a particular political party, but as Americans!

Great post Dave.
