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....

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.

Legitimate questions and ones that, although we know the answer to, nothing is really being done.I've never quite understood that. I realize keeping our borders open has always been our custom - and a good one it was, too, for it allowed my grandparents to legally immigrate here and become productive, naturalized citizens.
But, it's a different world today. Along with it being a different world, I think we seriously need to rethink our open-border, open-arms policies.

Dansy,
Sorry you never got to go. I had friends from out of state here once and they didnt want to go to the top. After 9/11 they all called me wishing they had.
I know it isn't same same but you have my pictures, story and others as memories and by all means please share mine with me anytime you like.

Heartfelt thanks to absolutely everyone that shared their thoughts, feelings, pictures and prayers today.
.45MAN is still not up to par and I need to get away from the 'puter and tend to him for the rest of the evening.
May God bless us all and place His bloodline of protection around America and all of our military members.
Goodnight - and thank you *all* for a being a part of the Finest.

I am sitting here thinking about 9/11/01 and the months that followed.
Remembering finding out my high school friend's brother Michael, a firefighter lost his life that day. My cousins good friend, Denis lost his brother Michael (also a firefighter) that day. He was preparing for retirement.
Attended the funeral of a hometown hero, Chief Downey. His body was not recovered. The fire truck with a fire hat layed on a bed of flowers. Heartbreaking.
The freepers we lost. Corresponded by email with John Moran's wife, Kim. I pray that her and her children are doing well.
My cousin's husband Woody worked in a building near the trade towers and ran from the hell around him. He feels guilty that he survived and so many lost their lives. Doesn't talk much about that day.
My cousin's husband Kevin is a construction worker, he worked for months in the recovery phase.
Just breaks my heart.
All of America was affected that day. Thinking about the families that lost loved ones on 9/11 brings the tears on. God Bless them all.
My thoughts and prayers are with all.
Thank You, dansangel for today's thread.
Colleen

George W. Bush...We will not waver,
we will not tire,
we will not falter,
and we will not fail.
and we will not forget...
I am so happy to finally be here on FR and join with you all in remembering the attack on our country, but how America answered with bravery, compassion, tireless effort, dignity, and patriotism! Today I worked extra hard, on the final hours of a campaign for a fine conservative whom I respect. I will NOT lie down, nor be defeated by the liberals. I WILL fight to regain my country, keep God in our lives, and freedom as the law of the land. God bless FRee Republic and the fine friends here. With great caring, Libertina.

I don't think they can be two different pics looking at the lights and reflections. I'm impressed with the mileage it got! You often think of the Net as a vast blackhole.

I didn't know you were from NY. That was a horrible day here in faraway Texas, glued to TV in complete shock. Can't imagine how it was to be so close.
