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

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC.

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president."--Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents.

Two classics worth repeating. Absolutely scary!

Thank you, Dubya, for this information.
I remember - - - it was 'our' war.

Gen. Raymond Davis, United States Marine Corps

The ranks are once more thinned,
the torch is passed - -
honored are those
who passed the test
and come to rest
on Heaven's shores.

There they stand, I do believe,
at Eternal Rest,
The Father saying,
"You did your best."

Tribute by LadyX,
Proud Korean Veteran of The United States Marine Corps

Hello dutchess. We just heard from Jeff (our middle son), he called this weekend. He is still in Mosul. He had some bad news for us tho'. We were expecting him home by Christmas but now it looks like may not be until March or April. It's getting frustrating for them over there. They had just been told a couple of days before that they would be leaving in October, so morale has taken a nosedive.
Our new granddaughter is due in about 3 weeks. Her daddy is in Pensacola now looking for a new house, as he will be transferred there in December. Going to be hard on them to move from South Dakota to Florida in December with a 2 year old and a newborn (plus a dog and a cat), but then that's the military life, one adventure after another.

Oh that reminds me of Sullivan's Island Grammer School.
