Billie, 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

Hi Steve, you and your family are now officially part of the Finest Family! Hope you will stop by often to let us know how you and your family are doing.

Last week, PrissyMissy (Marissa) drew a picture for your Mom. I put it in the mail Friday.

Today, I told her that LadyX had gone to Heaven to live with Jesus. I asked her to draw another picture so I could put it on the computer for her granddaughter.

Being a typical 6 year old, she didn't want to draw another. She asked me to write .... "I am so sorry that your gramma died. If you need me I will be here."

Maggie & You & I chatted about Andrea Bocelli...

That's right. That's why I thought it would be nice to post that song on her thread. For that reason, and for the fact that it is just a beautiful song.

& Maggie helped me spell his name correctly!

Yep, I remember that too! LOL

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to this. I have just been having an awful time keeping up today.

Oh dear... I'm so sorry to hear this. I haven't been online on the weekend, and I had no idea.

My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. May LadyX rest in eternal peace, an may her memory be a blessing to us all.

Rest in peace, Maggie - may the celestial light shine upon you.

Going Home

Go rest now precious one,
Your life in eternity has just begun.
Now you can walk, your legs are brand new.
All of heaven is now in your view.

Look all around, it's all in your sight,
There will never be another dark night.
Flowers and jewels, the street of pure gold,
and all of the things that have been told.

I can just imagine the smile on your face
as you walk all around in that beautiful place.
Greeting our loved ones as you walk along,
while singing heaven's most beautiful song.

This is so very hard, but it will all be Okay,
it isn't goodbye, we'll see you one day.
We love you and we'll miss you
and at times it will be tough,
but as with everything,
God's grace will be enough.

~ Susan E. O'dell

Click the Garden.

I Come to the Garden Alone

I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear,
Falling on my ear;
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me,
and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody
That He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me,
and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

Words and music by C. Austin Miles
