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, Mr. Owl - welcome to the Welcome Home party. :)

[Billie]

Billie has done another beautiful job on the Opener and the pledge and welcome graphics.

Thanks, dear sistah. I read your post yesterday - bet your Christmas gathering on Sunday was a big success. Do you do turkey and dressing for Christmas dinner? We'll be having our dinner here Saturday evening, but I quit doing turkey and dressing about 5 years ago and have never missed all that work one bit! Love it, but we get to eat it twice at Thanksgiving. :)

P.S. You're a sweetheart, and I appreciate you. :)

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

Oh, Hello, Lakeside! Thanks - it's good to see you today and I hope that Allegra *sees* you today, too! Hope you're doing okay. (((((((((Lakeside))))))))))

[Billie]

Merry Christmas, T Man!

[Billie]

Beautiful thread, Billie. Thank you!!

Thanks, Amy! I think I've told you before - I LOVE the kitty graphic with the lights! (It always reminds me of Louie telling about stringing lights on his cat for real when he was a kid!)

[Allegra]

Thank you so much for this...I can't tell you how touched I am.

It has been the most interesting year of my life and I almost (but not quite at this point, LOL) look forward to going back next month.

Thank you ALL for your support of our troops and please keep them close in your heart during Christmas (as I know you will.) And my heart and prayers go out to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in Mosul this morning. I am waiting to hear from those I know there...

Thanks again and I am honored to be honored by FR, the greatest website on the internet!

Love and Merry Christmas to you all!

[Billie]

What a great job you've done.....with less. I love it! : )

LOL! Short and sweet today. Didn't take long to read - even the pitchers - did it?! :)

Look here what I found........ :)

Thank you! :* :*
