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

That is a great looking pic of your dad Meek. He looks so young and handsome!

If you're serious SD I'll send you a pic of my dad when he was in the Navy.

Just happened to go to the end of last night's thread to see what was posted after I left yesterday, and found something posted by our dear Sistah Nan - -

"Posting a memorial for my favorite uncle who departed this realm yesterday morning.

J.R. Jones, Corpl. Third Armored Division, England, Germany, Belgium - WWII.

May he rest in peace and gain the reward he so richly deserves."

If my memory is accurate, this must be her beloved Uncle John.
You were blessed, Nan, by having so fine a person in your life. Comfort is yours, knowing where he now rests - surely with the Father of All....

Hope you don't mind my bringing it here to the Military Monday thread, in honor of his service, so we may pay our respects and express our gratitude for him - and all those to whom we owe so much.

- LadyX

So sorry to hear about this. I remember seeing a picture of him last year and Nan telling about how special he was to her.
May God bless you and your family Nan.

I like that, Aqua. You're enjoying that program, aren't you?! Dutchess, have you gotten yours YET?! I can't believe you've been charged for it - ordered it way before meekie did, and he's had his forever now - and you still don't have it. :(

Pippin - still missing you, girl, and hoping you'll be getting that modem installed very soon. I hope where you live in Maryland did not have much damage from Isabel.
