A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....06-09-03...Military Monday

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

06-07,08-03 Week in Review

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping'
The guy's good, folks!
Thanks, Mixer!

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

Hi Bro .....
You still here? I'm having dialup problems. I keep getting disconnected!!! Boo Hoo!!

I was hoping to get a call today regarding DSL but no luck. I've switched telephone lines and I'm still out of the loop.

Hope you can keep Meekie away from my sigs until I'm able to get back for more than 10 minutes at a time. LOL

Reporting in. Jack came through the installation of the Defibrillator without incident. He will stay overnight in the hospital. He was doing well when I left to come home at 6:30. Will drive back down in the morning and bring him home if all is still functioning well. It's a relief to have it over with. I'm exhausted from not enough sleep last night. I'm going to bed early. Love all you guys and thanks for the prayers.

It is Military Monday and today received a letter from Alex, a friend of the family. Alex is a Marine, still in Iraq. I wanted to share the last paragraph of the letter dated April 29:

Once again, thank you so much for your support. This war truly was a joint effort, fought by the troops, who drew their strength from friends and family at home.

Sincerely,
Alex

Thank you Colleen. I wonder where my Sistah is tonight. I was hoping to say hi before I turn in. I'm a bit spacy.

Thanks for the update on Jack. Hope he will feel better after this procedure and you'll get some much needed rest.
Good night and God bless.

Goodnight all. Nan, sorry I wasn't here earlier when you were - thank you for the little bear holding the blue flower.

Thanks for the note from your friend, deadhead. It's nice to hear from them.

Gail, take care - I'm sorry about all the aches and pain and bruises. (I don't 'like' exercising either)

See you all tomorrow. :)
