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!

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"
I'll be home for Christmas;
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.

There may not be snow in Houston, but bet there are lots of happy faces there this Christmas, and I'm bettin' mistletoe won't even be needed. :)

Allegra, one of our own since February 25, 2001, has been in Iraq for almost a year and is home for her first R & R just in time for Christmas. We love bringing good news to the Finest about our troops and hope you'll join us today to give her a big, rousing, Welcome Home Surprise!

Thank you, Allegra, for your service to our country, and hope you get a chance to eat lots of Mexican food, drink plenty of cold beer, and get lots of lovin' from those kitties before you return to Baghdad next month. May God bless and keep you safe.

Good morning and 'Merry-Week-of-Christmas' to you, Billie Blue Bird, and all the Finest.

And a HUGE Welcome Home! to our returning Allegra. I've enjoyed reading your on-the-spot reporting from Iraq. Thanks from a native Houstonian who now lives in Alabama.

Thanks be to God for your safe return!

[Billie]

First thing I'd do upon getting home? Crash out somewhere.

Now why does that not surprise me? :) But, I imagine there is some serious jet lag there, and we may not hear from her for days! :)

[The Thin Man]

Welcome home and Merry Christmas, Allegra!

Thanks Billie - beautiful job!

Thank you, iceskater! Nice to see you today - it's been a while since I've seen you to hello to you!

Jet lag, travel fatigue, and the "*sigh* I'm home, ooh, my stuff." response.

I too suspect that the settling in time willbe a bit.

See you when you get back, and well rested Allegra.

[Billie]

Allegra, so happy that you are home for Christmas. Thank You and God Bless you. Lovely thread, Billie
