A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....08-23-04....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

Posted on 08/23/2004 4:44:37 AM PDT by The Mayor




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

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping'
The guy's good, folks!
Thanks, Mixer!

1) Click on the graphic to open the Calendar.
2) Once there you can click on any month and even click to the right to go into next year. Once you are in the month that you joined FR you will need to click on the number in the calendar and then an add item screen will come up.
3) In the next box enter your name in the "Calendar Text" field and then click on submit.
4) If any of the screens fail to load simply click on refresh in your browser and that will usually fix it.
5) If all else fails or simply if you want me to do this for you send me a FReepmail and I will gladly do it for you. ~Mixer

Steve called again last night to say he'd been told there is a FEMA Respose slide presentation (14 pictures) on Hurricane Charley on the FEMA website.
(Federal Emergency Management Agency, under which DMAT falls now, under Homeland Security)

The person said Steve is the subject of the second slide.

I went to http://www.fema.gov and viewed it:

Steve Martin from the Florida Task Force stitches
up gash on Andrea William's leg inside the Disaster
Medical Assistance Teams (DMATS) tent at
the hospital in Punta Gorda.
She cut her leg while cleaning up after
Hurricane Charley.
DMATS were operating
the day after Hurricane Charley hit.

(No - Steve's head is not distorted!
There is a nurse to his left)

There actually is a V(eterinary)MAT component,
looking after animal victims of the storm.

The American Red Cross delivers dinner to
George Coolier whose home was heavily damaged.
The ARC and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief
is serving between 8000-10,000 meals a day.

Steve is working the night shift now, and had gone out to dinner for a change.
Said a few of them went to Applebee's, and the restaurant insisted upon treating them to their meal!

Thank you for posting these, Maggie! You have a wonderful son, who is doing our Lord's Work in tending the hurting and the wounded. May the Lord raise up many more just like him, is my prayer.

That is incredible!

The Truth will come out and anyone that knows the Bible will or should call him on it..

John 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Vast, Vast difference. But what he said is nearer to the truth.
God knows!
