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!

* Independence Day * 4th of July * America's Birthday *

The Declaration of Independence, unanimously declared by the thirteen United States of America, was adopted on July 4, 1776.

"Hallowed be the day, forever bright
its memory in the heart of the Nation.
Sing to it, poets; shout to it, freemen;
Celebrate it with bonfires, parades
and triumphant assemblies."

(Daily Alta California, 4 July 1855)




September 11, 2001

"Each of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened. We'll remember the moment the news came, where we were and what we were doing...I will not forget the wound to our country and those who inflicted it. I will not yield, I will not rest, I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people." ~ President George W. Bush, September 20, 2001

* God Bless America *
* God Bless our Leaders *
* God Bless our Warriors *
and
God Bless You.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Uh....I stole John's hat. Looks better on Wolfie. LOL

[Mama_Bear]

Happy Birthday America!
Happy 4th of July to all my Finest FRiends!

[Billie]

Thanks, BIS - hope your 4th is wonderful!

[Billie]

Thank you, dear Maggie Malone, for your (always) wonderful support and terrific graphics for whatever the occasion. It's FReepers like you that make this thread such an awesome place to be every day.

As you requested this week, and with a little help from the wolfie (his rotti grew a longer nose and ears for some reason) :), here for you to use as well as the others who either write or design or maintain the calendar or just give us lots of gifs and hugs:

[ST.LOUIE1]

Happy Independence Day to you, BIS!

Enjoy the day and stay safe. : )

Living in America...life is good!

[ST.LOUIE1]

LOL! One of your best!

Mighty big trunk you have there. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

A real beauty, Martin!

[martin_fierro]

Have a great, SAFE 4th Louie!

[Billie]

Thank you for the ears and nose on wolfie rottie. :)

I haven't caught up even to your first hello yet, but saw this one when I refreshed My Comments.

Hope you're gonna have a fantastic, fun-filled, fireworks extravaganza, bang-up evening, wolfie!

4th of July Hugs!

)))))){{{{{{wolfie}}}}}}((((((

[Mama_Bear]

Billie, this is just soooooo cute! And, your 4th of July tribute today is just spectacular.

Love your fuzzy ears, wolfie. Did you notice, Billie put me close enough to scratch 'em? (I know how much wolfie likes to have his ears scratched.) Scratch, scratch! :-)

((((((((((Billie/Wolfie)))))))))))))

[ST.LOUIE1]

Thank you for the ears and nose on wolfie rottie. :)

Wolfie didn't want to be just 'one of the crowd'. LOL

Hope you're gonna have a fantastic, fun-filled, fireworks extravaganza, bang-up evening, wolfie!

Thanks, babe, I'm planning on it. Hope yours is the same. : )

4th of July Hugs!

Love the colors, love the hug, love you. Oooops! Got carried away there. LOL

[Billie]

Thanks, Lori - earlier this week, LadyX requested I do something with the Rottis and include wolfie and John (she posted it first a long time ago, and it had too many for me to make a plain hostess graphic with, and I didn't take the time then to take some out) It still wasn't the right 'number' of faces, so I cloned some and made enough more for all our regular guest contributors and hostesses - you may have noticed Diver's name there - he's going to write something on an irregular basis for us soon, too)

Wolfie took the ball and ran with it (LadyX's request to include the wolfie) and transformed the one with the strangely wolfish look!)

[Billie]

Love the colors, love the hug, love you. Oooops! Got carried away there. LOL

A wave of patriotism overcame you, no doubt. :)

[Billie]

Okay now, you two distracted me, and I'm going back where I left off earlier, to answer the rest of the pings and say hello. Catch up with you in a bit. :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Love your fuzzy ears, wolfie. Did you notice, Billie put me close enough to scratch 'em?
(I know how much wolfie likes to have his ears scratched.) Scratch, scratch! :-)

Ahhhhhhhhh....you made wolfie's day. Nothin' like a good scratch from a pretty lady. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Love the colors, love the hug, love you. Oooops! Got carried away there. LOL

A wave of patriotism overcame you, no doubt. :)

Maybe, maybe not. : )

[Billie]

Thanks, gunner, for stopping in and you have a wonderful get-together this evening!

[JustAmy]

Billie ...... The thread today is absolutely beautiful.

My ISP is having problems this morning so I have not had time to read the entire thread. I will try again tomorrow.

Happy
