A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....09-22-03....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

I always look goofy in photos, so I have been reluctant to send one in.

deadhead...we have that in common..you don't see my picture there either. Actually I like the airbrush idea mentioned earlier LOL!

So nice of Dan and his angel to take over this job from LBGA

Yes it is. Prayers for Lynne

Yes, that's really my Dad alright. That pic was made in 1949. My Mom had that pic and made a number of copies of it and gave me one a couple of years before she died. She wrote a note on the back of mine that just says Dad - early 1949 ...

Glad ya brought that up. That would be great on the next go-around to add that pic of him. Thanks ! :O)

And I messed up when I told SerpentDove his service years. It should be 1949-1975, not 1976 ...

Dad really liked that modified pic, too!

Let me add my prayers with yours for Lynne. We can only imagine the battle she is facing, but we also know where she gets her strength. May God grant her healing and strength for the battle.

You didn't get pinged either??????? Amy's going to be furious with herself. Something must have happened to her list, I know everyone from the Finest was on a ping list.

What happened, Sis!

Too many Americans then - and now - think from a level of self-indulgent complacency, not realizing it takes the acts of the brave and dedicated to PROTECT THEM and ENSURE PEACE - - -

Amen!

Well, my flu ended up being walking pnemonia. My children, strep. So it may be more than a few days before I'm back in.

Dutchess, I read your freep. Sorry, I thought the original showcasing of the animals was going to be species by species. There is no way I can get you more pics and info for Tuesday. And even if you wanted to just stay with the cats for now, I have no idea what those other questions meant. My interpretation of those questions were already in the text I sent you. So I'm confused as well as delirius.

Think I'll sign off now. I was just staring at this wondering where the address book was.

Be back later in the week.

Hi, Lori - been an extremely busy day today. Whew! Cal, I hope you are getting lots of rest. Miss seeing your cheerful posts, but know it's hard to be cheerful when you're miserable. Please take care!
