A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....07-07-03....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

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

Billie, love the graphic of the pups. Absolutely adorable, and Wolfie hanging with the Rottweilers is so cute.

Thanks - that wolfie sure gets around, doesn't he? Try as he might, there's just no disguising that nose and those ears. LOL! (I got such a kick out of his 'doctoring' that pup before I finished the graphic!)

Enough cannot be said about this community and the spirit it has. Driving around this afternoon before shopping, businesses and homes galore display yellow ribbons; flags wave from many and are on cars; the paper has a page with as many bios on military men and women as are submitted - a special form displays them on pages for all to honor.

As I related, two of our County sons have lost their life in Iraq and were accorded full page write-ups and given full military honors.

In church Sunday, the pastor acknowledged the presence of a military son home on leave for the service, having him stand - and then added, "And all our military and veterans please stand, too, so we can honor you as well."

How blessed we are, not having any "PC" cloud hanging over us!

I loved the e-mail you shared Sistah. I just sent you a final e-mail for the evening, then I find you over here. I need to turn in, but wanted to say hi to a few of the finest.

Your hometown sounds wonderful, LadyX. I envy you. It's so different from living in a big city *sigh*. At least my church, which is very supportive of our military, sounds much like yours.
