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

07-04,05,06-03 4th of July Holiday Thread

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

He does post great articles (MadIvan). But why hasn't more info been released on those files? We are going to need a bag of popcorn when those threads finally make it to FR :)

Well now you just decided my dinner menu for this evening. I can smell that sauce now! I have some left over eggplant in the freezer I was wondering what to do with.

Just bringing some cheer to your day. :-)

Please give my best to your husband and tell him it never, never leaves you.

I will

Living aboard Parris Island thereafter as a Classroom Subjects Instructor, after I left, I always missed hearing the constant Cadence Calling all over the base.

I missed hearing them when we left.
My son helped keep me going with "AYE Sirs!!" & "LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS!!" during the drive home. (His younger brother thought he was going to sleep on the way home...Ha!)

Alright, I confess...I started it, but only a little (-:

Special prayers from this Marine will be covering your son - - - count on it.

Thank you very much, I'll tell him. (-:

I like grilled chicken - but only the white meat. :) Don't even need barbeque sauce - just grilled, over fetuccini with alfredo sauce, please. :)

Thanks, Free. :)

I'll have to admit that a Chess Tournament doesn't really sound that exciting (but am sure much of it has to do with not knowing a thing about Chess!); I like Bridge, though. :)

A 13 year old beat an International Master?! Now he might be kind of fun to watch. :)

He was just the nicest boy, Billie. Really well-mannered, too.

I like bridge also! I'm no good at it. Hee hee, bit of a wild bidder, am I.

I always loved the Beverly Hillbillies show.

They were funny - can't imagine anyone in this whole world could ever be as 'dumb' as Jethro!

You wouldn't believe how heavy blue jeans get when they're wet...and shoes act just like anchors when filled with water!

That's what I would have imagined - you must be a very strong swimmer - or had to be to become a lifeguard!

Thanks for the link, Aqua - Rush's right about FR - JR should be very proud of the reputation and name recognition that is FR.

Awww, how sweet - you missed me. I'll try to get back sooner next time. I forgot that you always count the hours when I'm not here.

Thanks, Aqua - now I also know what we're having for dinner tonight. (Red, I guess, Cal - don't have any chicken breasts in the freezer, but almost always can find a lb of hamburger there) :)

Be back shortly. :)
