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!

Feeling very patriotic today and to be honest, a bit anxious about the results of mid-term elections tonight. In light of that, the theme for today's thread is borrowed from a post a couple of weeks ago, by proud2beconservativeinNJ, who wrote:

"I would like to start a collection of Finest great flag shots so I could enjoy them all day long. So many are just darn beautiful."

I'll start with a few of mine and sprinkle more throughout the comments. Hopefully, the other host/hostesses will share some of their favorites, so be sure and check back often for more reasons to love our flag!

I am praying extra hard for America. May common sense and conservative principles prevail today. Please, God, guide us to elect strong leaders and representatives with unwavering convictions and a passionate love for our country and the values upon which it was founded....men and women who live by this pledge. Amen.

[GodBlessUSA]

Wow, I'm so jealous of the talent here. I'm working on it. LOL ;)

This is so incredibly beautiful!

I'll join you in your prayer, Mama Bear

[MEG33]

I got it at the DOD site.. They have great pictures.
I snag some of Bellicosity's,too.

[The Mayor]

Thank you GBU!

Only time will tell, there was already 160 people that cast their vote when the Mrs and I voted.

In a district that is 3 to 1 dem, I can only hope and Pray for a victory on Grand Island my home town.

[GodBlessUSA]

Your framing is always spectacular. You have a special way of putting it all together.


EMB has some fantastic photos. I've used quite a few myself. ;)

[GodBlessUSA]

That sounds like good news! I'm thinking, that is more likely a Republican turn out :) We are motivated today!

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, ((((((((GeeBee))))))))).

God Bless America!

[Diver Dave]

Amen, Mama Bear.

I got to thinking about this last night after posting that graphic(#9).. I've posted in the past that "The Oath" we swore when we entered the military has no expiration date. But after reading the Pledge of Allegiance a few times, and reflecting on the words, I've come to the conclusion that the dems have attached an expiration date to our beloved Pledge of Allegiance the minute they aligned themselves with those who would bring harm to this great nation.

[Mama_Bear]

Lump in throat and misty eyed. That's beautiful.

Good morning, onyx.

Yes, over the years, Diver Dave has inspired many a lump in the throat and a misty eye with his dedication to his God, family and country. He's a good man. If only we had men and women with his convictions at the helm of our great Nation!

[Mama_Bear]

I've come to the conclusion that the dems have attached an expiration date to our beloved Pledge of Allegiance the minute they aligned themselves with those who would bring harm to this great nation.

You are so right.

[MEG33]

You are so kind..Some turn out better than others. I keep learning.

[MEG33]

Oh..MY..That is just wonderful,Mama Bear!

I pray your prayer with you..Amen

[Billie]

Thank you, NavySeal, to your son. I have added him to my prayer list of our brave warriors.

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to

Billie; Dutchess; DollyCali; The Mayor; GodBlessUSA; JustAmy,
and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

Praying for you today.

[MEG33]

I love this thread. I think today it is comforting to see so many beautiful expressinions of our love of God and Country and always our beloved armed forces.
Lord guide this nation, we pray.Thy will be done.

[Mama_Bear]

Lord guide this nation, we pray. Thy will be done.

Amen.

Yes, this thread is comforting. I have a good feeling about the future, just knowing so many people love those principles that make our country great. :-)
