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!

Bush - Cheney 04

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

Good morning, sweetheart! Nothing better than seeing *BillieBlue* so early in the morning. : )
Well, that is one of the sweetest good mornings I've ever received here. :*

It must be 'the' sweetest.....it comes from wolfie's heart. : )

Complaints have been registered about a foul odor in St.Louis.....must be because kerry is in town. : )

LOL! I love it!

I'm not kidding, complaints have been made. LOL

Good morning, Rus. Needed that coffee and the inspiration of the daily devotional.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Morning, Mayor!

Sure is rainy and gloomy today. Got some sunshine to go with the coffee? : )

[Billie]

Morning, Meg. We're all praying for President Bush, not just for tonight's debate, but for his safety and strength to withstand the endless verbal assaults and setbacks.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Thank yoooou! I was determined to be first....for a change. LOL

Cute greeting for Colleen. : )

[Billie]

Well, if you're home without a car, at least you can get in lots of Freeping maybe, between getting ready for vacation. :)

Barbecue, auction will benefit HEARTS Museum
By Kurt Allen/Assistant Managing Editor


Isrella Ashley stands with a patriotic quilt she made for donation to Saturday's HEARTS Veterans Museum of Texas silent auction and barbecue, set for the Samuel Walker Houston Cultural Center. Ashley made the quilt in memory of her husband, Lee. Submitted photo.
With the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall Experience coming to Huntsville next month and construction plans already under way for the new HEARTS Veterans Museum, there's a lot going on at the building's future site on Highway 75 North.

As the wall makes it way to the area Nov. 4 to 7, museum officials are working hard on a lot of different things to help keep the construction of the massive new building moving.

First, though, is the need for money to pay for the construction, and to help that need, museum officials are hosting a barbecue and silent auction Saturday at the Samuel Walker Houston Cultural Center on 10th Street.

The event mixes food, auctions and fun in an effort to support construction of a new complex to house the museum, which currently resides inside West Hill Mall.

COOOOL STICKER!

A lot of people are praying for our President and that our nation to be spared from a Kerry Presidency.

November 2nd has been called "Veteran's Day" by many - this will be a great way to start the museum's Wall event. Justice for vietnam vets.

This time last campaign we had no idea how rough it was going to be in the days *following* the election, and it's just unbelievable that there is so much hatred and unrest this year BEFORE we even get to the polls.

[ST.LOUIE1]

I hope he gets the kind of respect in St. Louie he deserves....there and everywhere he goes. :)

Well, Missouri is Bush country. Maybe not in the city, but the 'burbs' will give him the state. : )

Hopefully his coat-tails will be long enough to elect Mel Blount as Gov.

[ST.LOUIE1]

And you were first last Friday with MamaBear's birthday wish! LOL!

My "Babes" always come first. : )

Wolfie knows better than to make them wait. LOL
