A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....07-05-05....Military Monday on Tuesday

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

Appropriately late for 'Military Monday on Tuesday,' going out of town this morning..:))

It never is too late, however, to thank and praise our defenders of freedom and justice, wherever they are serving!

I see I'm not the only one who made a fashionably late entrance on Military Monday on Tuesday. :-)

"It never is too late, however, to thank and praise our defenders of freedom and justice, wherever they are serving!"

Thank you Men and Women in Uniform, past, present, and future for keeping us free. God Bless and Protect you, each one of you.

Not exactly the green, green grass of home,
but they know why they are there...
Keep your prayers flowing up to God for them -
and for America..

Wonderful photographs of your campaign friends and props.
Hope you don't mind if I make the following political suggestion.

Would you agree with me that The Perfect Candidate for the Supreme Court is none other than the husband of this brave lady who perished on 9/11?!

Television commentator and lawyer Barbara Olsen
delayed her trip a day to have a birthday breakfast
with her husband, Ted Olsen, U.S. Solicitor General.

Aboard her doomed flight, she called him twice,
asking for advice on what to tell the pilot.
Her calls gave investigators the first clue
into how the terrorists were hijacking the planes.

"She has such courage...a courage that allowed her,
in my view, to become a hero—an American hero."
— Geraldo Rivera, Barbara's colleague

==========================================

President Bush, you surely remember how Ted Olsen
in the 2000 election went to bat for you
before The Supreme Court!

With his knowledge, calmness and frequent appearances
before that court as Solicitor General,
he deserves your nomination to sit upon it,
either now - or to replace Chief Justice Rehnquist!"

IMHO,

~ LadyX

Those photogaphs do a heart good, snugs!

As a child during WWII, I remember well singing this song:

There'll always be an England

There'll always be an England,
While there's a country lane.
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street.
Wherever there's a turning wheel
A million marching feet.

Red, white and blue What does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud
Shout it loud
Britons awake!
The Empire too
We can depend on you.
Freedom remains
These are the chains
Nothing can break.

There'll always be an England
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.

Come On Briton! Let us sing....

===============================================

My older sister's husbamd was based in England during WWII, and was a very vulnerable tail gunner in a bomber, flying numerous dangerous missions over Europe, so we sang it with feeling!
