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

Kitty Mittens, so nice to see you and hear about the ranch.
God has blessed us in the fine people who serve, and have served, in our U.S. military.
Your thanks and prayers mean much to them.

It is a city among cities; and I've seen quite a few of the world's great cities. Hope you can make it out here one of these days, La E!

Hello, you...:)
Should I look for you at the Canteen in a while?

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you!! I was just talking with a friend in Louisiana today who has also never been. We are both determined we will do it.

A little report on the day...son called around 9:00 and I’m not ashamed that my ‘boy’ was crying...I started too. His words were “Mom, she won’t have to suffer anymore”. He wanted to bury her at my place because he sold his house a few months ago and will be moving in February. He wants to get some land and build.

He fixed a wooden box (very nice)and I stayed with him as he dug and fixed the grave and we put her in and finished. We got control of ourselves for that time. I didn’t want to go to Red Hats but decided I should or just stay home and cry.

He had lots to do today and is doing better tonight.
Went to one of favorite places for lunch “The Swallow Tail”, in Abingdon, Va. Got home about 4 and had to change clothes to go to funeral home visitation for my friend and daughter. She is doing okay but its been a long ordeal for her. A couple of friends picked me up.

The day is almost over with lots of sadness but with some laughing and happiness with a loud bunch of my gal friends.
Put a bunch of women together and we can make fun!

Thanks to you all for your sweet messages today and the beautiful posts and cute posts. I haven’t answered each individual but I have viewed them all. You all are the greatest!! I am a very fortunate person to have all of you! I am serious!!

The feeling is mutual...:o)
