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!

~ ~ ~Where Were You?~ ~ ~

Where were you
when the sky rained down
liquid fire and lost souls;
when the air billowed poison,
when sirens wailed
and cries echoed urgently and painfully?
Never forget....

Where were you
when, with a thunderous roar,
monsters of steel and glass
crumbled to the earth
belching black gaseous clouds
as thick and as dark as satan's cloak?
Never forget....

Where were you
when eerie silence fell like
winter's first snowfall;
when voices and spirits were
stilled forever in
unadorned and involuntary graves?
Never forget....

Where were you
when satan's children laughed
and danced in streets of candy
while families mourned
eternal emptiness, longing for
just one last chance to say, "I love you?"
Never forget....

God Bless Our Military

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Dansangel; Dutchess; Mama_Bear; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

That's beautiful.

[Billie]

I'm still reading and taking in all of these beautiful posts. Our hearts and prayers are still with all those who lost loved ones, and with President Bush, and the rest of our leaders, and our brave military.

[Billie]

Spookie, know it's hard to celebrate your birthday on such a day, but hope you find fun stuff at the quilt store. Happy Birthday. :)

[Mama_Bear]

A special 'hello' to one of my favorite people. :-)

((((((((((JH2)))))))))))

[dansangel]

((((((dutchess))))))

Thank you for the kind words. I'm sort of glad I'm not near a TV because I think I would just "overload" on all of the tributes.

It breaks my heart just to visit the memorial threads here on FR. Very powerful stuff.

[Calpernia]

There are lots of ways to support. And the people with Military background are valuable.

[dansangel]

What a beautiful graphic (((((Mama_Bear)))))

Thank you for the kind words. I wanted to leave things on the simple side so that people would feel more inclined to contribute and participate. We have had some wonderful stories and graphics posted so far.

Be safe and be blessed!

[JustAmy]

Happy Birthday, Spookie!!

[dansangel]

I have never seen that particular graphic (((((TTM)))))

I never realized how close Arlington National is to the Pentagon. Extremely disturbing and moving photo, to be sure. Thank you for posting it here, and for your kind compliment.

Watching the ceremony at the Pentagon this morning, it seemed the young soldier playing Taps was hitting notes more beautiful than I'd ever heard, drawing up a bucket of tears.

It hurts and worries so much because we love so much...our family, our neighbors, our Country and Old Glory.

My rage simmers always, and boils when I hear the izlamiks and eurotrash tell me that we deserve what happened because of our selfish ways

My rage explodes when Howard Dean and the other Dimwits tell me the same thing.

What I remember this day is the horror of that day, two years ago.

If it weren't for Dubya wearing the badge and standing tall in the saddle, rather than not-so-alpha alGore, the terrorists would have won by now.

Ain't no way either the Dims or the izlamos are gonna win.

Light transcends Darkness...the Good, the Beautiful and the True will triumph over what is false and Evil.

Besides, we've got little guys like this on our side...as Dubya said, the Angels are not indifferent to the struggle between Good and Evil

God Bless America.

(Thank you, Miss Dansy, for today's very special thread...your words are very moving...)))

This image was posted on the Canteen by MoJo2001....It reminds me that while we continue to mourn the lives destroyed by the evil terrorists on 9-11-01; we must also be grateful that we live in the land of Liberty.

And we must all continue to support those Patriots who are fighting the War On Terrorism to protect America!

[JustAmy]

Memorial at Pelco in Fresno!
Here is a close-up view of the memorial!

[Salvation]

That cartoon is so true. What is it that has made the generations so different in the ways they see things?

[dansangel]

Thank you for that great photo of President Bush (((((Meekie)))))

[dansangel]

Thank you for the hugs and the compliment (((((((JH2)))))

[dansangel]

Thank you [[[[[{{{{{(((((Louie_Wolfie_Man)))))}}}}}]]]]] for the very kind compliment.

.45MAN is doing better, thank you, although he tires easily. He just has to learn how to pace himself.

[MEG33]

Thank you for your pictures and all your great posts.We were all New Yorkers.

[MEG33]

Thank you for this beautiful thread.....NEVER FORGET

[deadhead]

Will never forget 9/11. I think of it every day. The memory of seeing the smoke billowing from where the towers once stood is with me forever. Such sadness in my heart for the families who lost loved ones that day. My thoughts and prayers are with those lost and their loved ones. I am grateful that our President is going after the terrorists.

God Bless All
