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 200,000 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. : )

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 am wearing red today and every Friday ~ Billie

HI BILLIE! Where you on vacation?

A short one, but a nice getaway for sure. :) Always fun to see some different scenery - love the palm trees in California!

[Billie]

Thank you, Miss Kitty!

[Billie]

Little late, but Welcome to California... Hello - Good-by. :)

LOL - thanks for the warm welcome to your part of the country.

Am happy to hear you had another great family get-together in Washington. Yours is a big reunion - our summer family reunions in the Texas Hill Country (my favorite part of Texas) are about only about 40.

[Billie]

I’m sorry, Dolly. Your post makes me sad. Cali has had a very long life, but most of us can relate to the sadness when it’s time for them to leave us. We get so very attached to our animal companions, don’t even want to think about losing them. :(

[Billie]

Love that red tie on our President. Hate how much negative press he gets. :(

[Billie]

Thank you, jaycee!

Hey Billie, we all go a little AWOL every once in a while :)
Life happens!

[ConorMacNessa]

Dolly - I’m sorry to hear about your cat. She looks very much like our cat Rohrschach who we lost several years ago. We now have two cats, both strays we took in. I know this is a very tough time for you, and both you and Cali are in our thoughts and prayers.

[Majie Purple]

If I remember correctly...You like these! So, here's one for You as a welcome home, treat!
